Que Up.

So Thursday night I went to Sip and Knit at NCK, and Harry gave me my socks.
I had him knit them on his sock machine but my sock yarn making skills must have lacked because the first one wasn’t elastic enough and caused Harry a head ache.




Sorry Harry, but thanks for making them





Here is Carol who decided to take out some of her sweater and it was just sitting there, live stitches and all. Scary I know…..




At NCK they have these cool new leather buttons that would look awesome on a purse or hat…



I got my hair colored and on the way back I saw this cool Mural…



My Hair it is different... with darker low lights...





There was this lady at Costo… Who was rude.. and complaining that she couldn’t get out the exit she wanted to because my car was in the way ( she was suppose to go left not to the right according to the arrows, and was haggling an older lady in front of her to move….) all at Costco while on her headless phone set while having a way too loud conversation.


Mom and I went to the Banana hut…
She had I had Shoyu chicken
I had Lau Lau Pork



Look at how nice the back yard looks?

this is the after


This was before .... .Notice big creepy plants? I cut them down wit ha skill saw....

Yarn Tasting-North Coast Knittery


Today I went to another Yarn tasting at The Northeast knittery. It was fun despite the weather being Crummy.

Did you know NCK had its own tea blend for/From Humboldt Herbals? It was great with a piece of Connie’s Gingerbread with cranberry’s.


So here was our lovely little plate of yarns:

Clock wise, Arucania-Asyen, Alpaca Yarn Co-Swizzle, Araucania-Atacma, Debbie Bliss-Prima, Sublime-Soya Cotton, Alpaca Yarn Co- Paca De Sada.

It was a fun time. NCK also has new bags in which lead to discussion.



Here is what they look like knitted up

Anti Super Bowl Party



I Made cookies to take with me to the Anti Super bowl part at the Northcoast knittery.





My delicious rendition of a Alfajors (YUMMY Dulce De leche)


The Party was fun. There were a lot of knitters there.

One Sally was making these lacy gauntlets flat.


There was a contest, to guess how much yarn, and the fiber content in six balls. I won the Estimating the length, so I got a Gift card. Which was great. But I had just bought Noro in Silk Garden and Sarubia… I am not complaining, I use it at the end of the month when I am out of money and need something
I also got this nifty little bag with my first purchase.





Nora- Silk Garden Noro-Sarubia


It was a great part of knitting, and out course food. A nice way to spend the super bowl… There is another yarn tasting coming up too!

This is the stores window.
