Yes I have been Knitting!!

Well yes I have been knitting. I know its been along time since I last posted. There has been a lot that has happened around here. First and for most my son started Kindergarten. Can we say yes I never thought he would be able to go to school. Well don't go getting excited just yet. We did make it through the first week with out getting sick. But the Second week not so well we made it about 2 hours the first day (Monday) and have been out since . Hope fully he will be able to return to school this coming week if he's not sick. Now for those who don't know my son has a very low immune system and he takes antibiotics everyday just to be normal. When he get sick he can't just get over it like most people. So if your read this please take the time to educate your children on covering there face when sneezing and coughing. It may seem like no big deal but to children like my son it can be very dangerous.

Now on to knitting.

I have been knitting like a mad women!! I am knitting the Smock Coat by Debbie Bliss. The picture above (the purple) is the back piece. I also have the left front done . I am working on the right front now. I have to tell you this seed stitch is really pretty but so time consuming. I can't wait to get it finished. The baby I am making this for was born Yesterday . So I really need to get it done soon. I will tell you I am not putting a collar on it . I am replacing the collar with a hood. But all in all I can't wait to get it done.

The second picture is of my Shalom Cardigan. Which I might have to rip out!! I have to see what row I screwed up on. The pattern is on Ravelry. If your on there I am yummeeyarn.

I also have I think three pairs of socks going oh yeah and a Shawl and bag. Pictures coming soon.

Happy Knitting

God Bless!!

Dear, Yummee Yarn Customers

Hey, all you Yummee Yarn Customers!!! I will be loading the shop this week!! New colorways are coming out to!!! Yeah!! I put some up last week and they only lasted about 3 hours. So Thank You to the Customers!! I am so excited about putting up new yarn. It's been to long. But I have to say I do like that Local and Non Local Shops keep me busy. For those who want to know where to buy Yummee Yarn just ask I will tell you. States include California, Kentucky, and Missouri. Hopefully my goal is to be in at least 2 more shops by the end of the year. For those on Ravelry feel free to find me there and add me as a friend. Ravelry Id is yummeeyarn. Feel free to post pictures or give comment's on the yarn. I try to be completely different with my colorways. Although here lately I see more people using colorways I have either just posted in the shop or they just repeat them soon. You know Karma gets to you sooner or later. You know who you are. Now that being said I am a forgiving person and I do get we all have the same ideals. But most of you try to make it am little different not exactly the same. I choose to think out of my own mind and not look at what other people do . But when a customer say why are people copying your work to the freak dime . You start to wonder am I to nice. Well yes I am. SO I ask my customers and blog readers. Should I do as other or continue to be me and say let Karma get you bad people. I know I have God, Jesus, Holy Spirit on my side.

Any WAY LOOK FOR NEW COLORWAYS ALL WEEK !!

THANKS FOR LETTING ME TALK

GOD BLESS

Another great Photo

This was emailed to me by my friend Cindy!! I thought I would share this with you as well.

I ask you!! Can you see the baby!! This is so cool! It is called, rather named, 'Baby in a Tree' .. Do you see it? If you can't see the baby in the picture, don't give up. It's really cool when it actually appears. You have to have an open mind. Don't look for a Baby, and you will see the Baby! Once you see it you won't see anything else!!! So I ask you Can you see the Baby?
