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 :)

so someone has started this interview thingy, im not really sure who, anyways, they interveiw you, then you post it on your blog. then ppl request to be interviewed by you, they answer and it goes on and on.
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
