Buttons

Well I changed my blogger template and all seems to be finally working!

Yesterday Hubby and I took a drive about 1 hour north of here to Webs. Oh my!I found some great buttons that will work perfectly with the 048 Mac and Me Adult Two Color Jacket– yes!

I also picked up a 10 skein package of Queensland Uruguay DK! Color 10 - not sure exactly how to describe the color, and I can’t find color names anywhere on the web. A yummy merino/alpaca/silk blend, Uruguay DK is perfect for light garments and accessories.Content: 70% Merino/20% Baby Alpaca/10% SilkWeight/Yardage: 50 Grams/124 YardsGauge: 5.5sts=1″ #6 needlesKnitting Weight: DK

Not sure what I will do with it, but I was having so much fun getting overwhelmed with all that yarn. I had a few picked out and then just decided to make a choice!

Well back to work tomorrow. Overfall it has been a good week in spite of being sick for part of it. Didn’t get as much accomplished as I had planned, but did get some of the kitchen floor stripped, hair cut and touched up, manicure and pedicure, dry cleaning done, and a couple of girly lunches. Got some new baby pics up.

The baby sweater is done except for the snaps and ties sewn on. Worked a bit on the Mac N Me jacket, and the KPS top down raglan.

Vacation?

Been down and out with the flu most of the week Effie did get to the spa though. Don’t you just love her braid? Managed to get the 2 February cloths done, the Hearts and the Lace Diamonds mid-month cloth.

I had intended to have more progress, but spending 24/7 in bed asleep didn’t help Working bottom up in the round, now split so using 3 skeins at once. Started both sleeves. Mangaged to fininsh the kimono, need about another inch on the sleeves. Then I can sew it together, put on the snaps and ties and be done with it. Plenty of time for the May baby! I missed Phil’s BD being sick in bed, but some friends delivered this:
