Knitting project updates!

Hello Friends,

Lately I have been knitting the baby blanket and I did some work on the cowl yesterday.  The blanket it coming along it is getting much longer and I am excited to send it off to my cousin shortly.  I am also liking how the cowl is turning out.  It is a very fun and easy knit on a repeat of four rows.  I knit the cowl a lot yesterday while I watched Rio.  It is such an adorable movie, I will definitely see the second movie! :)

In other news my family got two kittens!  My friend's Aunt was giving them away and we just could not resist!  They are adorable and so much fun to have around.  They are 5 months old now and they are brothers who are inseparable.  They look very different because their mother was a mix of colors, black, brown, white, orange and their father was all orange.  Their names are Rupert and Milo (their nicknames are Roo and Moo, Roo is the orange one and Moo is the black and white one).  We call them by their nicknames most of the time.  

I hope you have a great day!

Happy Easter!

Hey Friends,

I am so sorry I have not been posting lately! I have been busy with final exam and essay writing the past couple weeks.  I am going to get back into knitting and posting on my blog now .  I cannot wait to get back into my normal routine.  I hope all of you had a great Easter with family and loved ones.  I had a great weekend myself.  I had an amazing family dinner on Saturday and we had ham and then today I went to my boyfriend's family lunch and had a great time and ate turkey! It was a great Easter weekend :)

Knitting a Spring Cowl using the Eyelet Moss Stitch

Hello friends,

I have just started knitting a light cowl for the spring.  I am using the eyelet moss stitch pattern that I found on the Knitting Galore blog.  There are tons of great stitches on this blog it is like a stitch dictionary.  This stitch stood out to me because it looked like it would be light and airy for spring’s warmer temperatures.

 I have also made some progress on my baby blanket that I have been knitting mostly while I was finishing up the second season of House of Cards.   It is getting much longer now I think I have to knit double the amount you see in the photo to complete the blanket.

I hope you are all are having a great Friday and have a good weekend!
Take care,
Lisa
