Jo Knits!

yarn-o-rama

I bought yarn, I bought yarn! :) All cheap yarn too! LOL! Walmart had a sale ont he Homespun yarn I wanted and I saved a dollar on each ball I bought. I got the color Honolulu (purple) for Zoe and Delft (blue) for Lucas.

I can't wait to start casting on the sweaters for the kids. It'll be such an accomplishment to knit them. I never thought I'd be good enough to knit a sweater. Oh well, time will tell! LOL! Good thing I have a few persons I can add advice if needed.

I did start a surprise project for my mom, I found some Bernat Boa yarn in the color Raven (black). Now PLEASE consider this when you are buying Boa yarn. Knit only with this type of yarn for someone you REALLY love! LOL! This eyelash-type yarn is so difficult. You can never tell where the stitches are with all the "fuzz" all over it. I began a scarf ith it and I'm eleven inch along. I still have 39 inch to go! LOL! Touching the knitted "fabric" is sooooo nice though! It IS worth the trouble, bummer it's not for me though. ;)

Finally this is the bag I am about to felt it is 16inch wide and the orange on it is actually one of our placemats! :) We eat our meals on colorful placemats all the time, right now we have oranges and apples to eat on.

I will most likely decorate the bag once it's felted. I was thinking maybe blanket stitch the top and sides with red embroidery thread and the add red cord straps. I like yarn. ;)

On the family front, I can't believe how beautiful Zoe is becoming. Of course every mom will say so of their own child but it's so true! ;) Lucas is talking more and more everyday he is still struggling over the word Zoe though. He says "oé", soon enough he will be 2! Time has flewn since I brought him home from the hospital. I still remember seeing him in NICU and just feeling so bless to have a boy. Weaning is still on my mind, he is very needy these days. Maybe his molars are coming in? I forget when Zoe got them, teething has been so different between the two kids. Zoe had her 1st tooth at 4months and Lucas at 9mo.

Today I feel blessed for having healthy kids. Now if only I could get it out of my mind to have another one! LOL! ;)

hugs,
