Story of Week and Stash Enhancement No new stash.  I have done more crocheting than knitting in the last two weeks, which you will see in FOs. We had a big snow on the weekend after the last podcast. It didn't keep me from going to work on Monday however. Had a good crafting weekend. 
I have been doing little vicarious crafting and I want to share with you my newest obsession. I saw this on the Kristi Glass channel, and I can't stop looking and dreaming about making one. bypollevie

Story of Week and Stash Enhancement No New stash.  Over the last 2 weeks I have been knitting mostly monogamous on the Mermaid tail to get it finished in time for Christmas, and I succeeded, which you will see in FOs.
We had a really good Christmas. Ted and I spent Christmas eve wrapping gift, and unwrapping our gifts. I got spoiled with perfume, a year supply of Bath and Body works, and the new Apple watch. 
On the 22 of December we welcomed The new  Great Nephew Anson. Mom and Baby are great.
We spent Christmas day at Ted's Sons house with all the kids and family. It was just great.
First Episode in January I will be Reviewing my UFOs and deciding to Frog or finish.

Story of Week and Stash Enhancement Purchased some Mainstay everyday basic yarn, and Redheart SS in pink ombre for a project in my WIPs, also purchased some I Love this yarn is cypress Landing, and Denim colors, and some Loops and Threads Copenhagen in the Rainy Day Colorway, and some bead stuff that is still in bag. Most of purchases done while I was in KC with my sister. It was a wonderful time, seeing my sister, and getting to know Scarlet, who is now crawling. The rest of the 2 weeks has been status quo, working and knitting, and Christmas movies. :-)
I also attempted Vlogmas but discovered it was little to much for me and my life.

October Pink Along  Price Draw

Story of Week and Stash Enhancement The past 2 weeks have been business as usual. My knitting has been somewhat monogamous, which you will see in WIPs.
I did add to stash for a project I have been vicariously knitting for some time, stoking FOs on Ravelry, thinking about yarn choices and such. I have also been hearing a lot about Hobium yarns, so I went and browsed the website and picked my colors, and clicked buy on Saturday, and it came yesterday, from Turkey. I got a sweaters quantity for $16, and $10 for shipping. It is a really nice feeling yarn. I will let you know what I think when I start it. The Tecuseh sweater.
