Happy Thanks giving!!, Hope everyone's holiday was safe and fun. We had a good time, had a lot of people in our little apartment :) and a great dinner!!

We are searching for a house to buy, and will hopefully be out of this dam apartment by Feb LOL

Also, we are expecting another baby!!! Yep, that will make 4 kids (and the last one) I will be taking the light bulbs out of the easy bake oven as soon as this one arrives LOL.

I am working on a cabled kimono sweater, got the pattern from knit picks, I am really liking, and hope I get it done in the next few months so I can see if it will fit me.

Well happy holidays, I am off to knit some more and stare at the little bit of snow we got last night :)

What Jyll needs

I am liking this trend I see on all the sites lol so I'm gonna join in :)

What Jyll needs:

* About five babysitters to watch the 6 (soon to be 7)kids I'M supposed to watch
* Win the lottery
* A few people who like to do paper work
* A really good comeback (that wont get me in trouble) to the soccer mom who replies "I thought I paid my child's registration fee" when it was due in May
* earplugs
* new jammy pants (Mickey ones are ripped)
* The answer key to ALL of my child's 4th grade homework (been too long, cant remember how to do it)
* A day at a spa
* A dinner party with ALOT of people
* A beer
* No sex (lol everyone was putting sex, I wish to not have it!! atleast for a week :) lol )

neck sock

so a friend asked for some neck socks, sounded easy enough lol took me sooo long to get it to actually fit!!! So now that I have the concept down, I made one for Jami and picked up stitches and did the scar tails. So its an illusion :) looks like a scarf, but will actually stay around your neck !!! So of course I had to make the wrist warmers to go with it.
I used angel hair yarn (really soft, I thinks it has rayon in it)

at the moment I am working on making that hexagon skirt in the vogue knitting mag, I'm using bright neonish colors.. Its getting kinda fun:) and I am pretty glad I won't be the one wearing it lol

how fun!!

Guess what I got today... soccer uniforms!!!! here is a pic of mine, cuz im special too lol

happy anniversary to me!!!

long weekend, had my anniversary on friday.. dinner party on saturday, just plain beat on sunday lol here is what my wonderful hubby got me :)

well hello everyone!! still stuck in the soccer gig.. not getting much knitting done. I am now coaching our Girls U10 team, the girls are still coming up a name.. us moms thought Spitfire would be cool... but nope all the 9 year old girls thought that meant you spit on people lol

Then newest baby in the family (my twins daughter) baby jazz is growing like a weed, she is now three months old. She will be one on May 4th, and here is the reason i bring this up lol. my twin, jami is now pregnant again, her new due date is March 24th.. yep they wont even be a year apart!!!!! all i could come up with is "im glad its not me" lol

On another note.. today is my 5 year anniversary!!! That just flew by lol two kids later :) my wonderful husband knowing my obsession with mickey mouse gave me a beautiful silver classic looking mickey mouse watch.. i just love it!!! we are off to his company picnic today, hopefully some alone time on sunday. we are throwing a dinner party tomorrow night for a friend of ours, so so much for quiet that day :)

I hope everyone is well, miss ya

Jyll

so soccer has consumed me, and will until middle august. I have gotten some things done though :) which really surprises me!!

I quit my job (not enough money for the abuse lol ) I have one week left whoo hooo!!!

I corcheted a outfit for miss eryka for her birthday.. its made of god awful bright colors and she absolutly loves it.

I also knit a hat with ear flaps and string hanging down from the top, took a whole hour to do lol but eryka wanted a funky hat :) sorry to say my camera screen has broken inside, so i can take pics but not see them until i download them.. so im trying to perfect the bling picture lol

Hope everyone is having fun in knitting land, hope to see the knitt group sometime soon (probably not until august)

miss ya !!!

guess i screwed that last one up and jayda's pic hid behind trystens lol, live and learn i suppose :)

we went to deception pass this weekend, i personally have never been there and wasnt too thrilled about it lol, but it turned out to be a lot of fun, kids ran us ragged. then we hopped back into the van and went to fort casey for a bit. we even went to michaels free family event, crafts and stuff, even lowes came and you could build stuff, hence the apron trysten has on lol he pounded in the nails in my littl house i made (didnt turn out right since i dont read directions lol )

I found this pattern awhile back, but didnt have time to make it until now, its the booby scarf for breast cancer awareness found at knitty.com It was so much fun to make and see responses to it lol

here is the finished shawl for my neice, she just absolutly loves it!!!

not enough time!!

So I have maybe knit five rows on my shawl, soccer has stared in full swing with registrations so im busier than the worker bee. I am hoping to go to knit club this weekend just to take a break from coaches and players and kids :) I am having a wonderful time with my new neice, she is just sooo cute and cudly. I get to see her everyday since my twin sis babysits my kids when i go to work and continues to watch them when I get home to work on soccer lol.
Hopefully next week i will have finished my shawl and have a final pic of it!!!

Happy knitting :)

i asked Terry shea (one of the girls at knitting group) to interview me.. so here is my interview, now its up to you to ask me to interview you :)


For Jyll, also from Saturday knitting group but not fibertraditions.

1. Just exactly how many ponchos have you made? I’ve lost count.
2. Tell everyone the story of Trysten’s favorite art project, when he stuck (now what was it again?) stuff all over the walls and the high chair. I”m sure everyone wants to hear this…
3. What is your favorite yarn?
4. Where do you store your yarn stash?
5. When are you going to let me talk you into some really schnazzy fancy yarn?

lol
ok here we go.. I’m jyll the one from saturday knitting group (that is when im not working or have a soccer game)
1. I LOVE PONCHOS lol let see, how many have i done..3 for my twin, 8 for my girls soccer team, 1 for Jayda, 2 for Eryka, 1 Nikki (twins daughter), and of course 1 for me (my favorite so far) and I am starting another one for ME lol so thats umm 16 :)

2. ok so I have three children, Eryka is 8, Trysten just turned 3, and Jayda is 1. Now Trysten being the only boy has to deal with all the “girly stuff” . My neighbor was expecting so she gave me three boxes of panty liners (that i don’t use) . I work for the soccer club and i deal with a lot of coaches whom happen to be men.
One day last fall trysten decided he was bored while mommy was working, so he got under the sink and low and behold.. he found the panty liners, and wowo if you take the strip off, they stick.. so here he goes sticking them EVERYWHERE.. the wall, highchair, moms computer chair and anything else that will hold.. about an hour after this, knock knock.. guess whos at the door, a coach lol.. panty liners everywhere.. the guy didnt have a clue what to say. Eryka decided a week later to help trysten and they made people on the wall, oh ya daddy LOVED that lol
3.my favorite yarn… whats on sale at michaels (on top of which i get twins employee discount) lol.. no really i think it is lion brand homespun

4. i have yarn stashed under my computer.. which jayda just loves cuz she can play with it, inbetween my chairs and couch, in my walk in closet that is not “walk in ” anymore, Trysten’s room, Eryka’s room, and my car lol
5. lol when i win the mega millions lottery :)

here is the artist, i guess i should have investigated why they were both laughing.. because they usually dont get along that well, but i thought i would just count my blessings that he was amusing her lol.. guess next time i will check it out lol 

well we have a future artist on our hands.. hes taking after his daddy i guess, and his canvas is jayda!!! isnt she pretty?? 

here is my newest project.. a tank top with some of the yarn i got for my bday.. im half way there!! 

here is jayda wearing her poncho i just finished 

my neices poncho for her birthday.. modeled by eryka

here is my twins bday present.. modeled by jem one of our friends.. its huge!!! i love it!! 

and of course.. no birthday party is right unless there is some drama, here is eryka against the wall because she decided to "help" trysten by blowing his candle out for him lol so of course wyatt had to document that one lol 

and of course eryka had to play war with the blower things :) 

lol even jayda got into it 

here he is!! 

well today we celebrated my son trysten's 3rd birthday!! his birthday is tomorrow, but i have a soccer meeting then so today it is lol.. i made him a Scooby Doo cake!!! he loved it... and i found soo much party stuff on cleareance to match it!!!
