Weekends, everyone loves them and when they include an extra day….look out!! This weekend is one of the most famous weekends ever, it is the 4th of July, independence day, the official beginning of beaches, and cookouts right? Right! As long as I can bring my knitting! Hahahahahahaaa
I am on the road again, this time in Deland AND I only packed my Billie Jean Yarn from Wool and the Gang. I finished my Pop life Cardigan after having to rip back the band. Who didn’t pick up enough stitches the first time? Yea that would be me, but I got back on track and she is a beauty. Although I wanted to, I didn’t sleep in it…I took a few pics and went to bed a happy camper.
Let’s talk about this yarn briefly, it’s perfect. #thatsall No seriously, I love the drape, I love the material that was generated  and I have said it before but I just love how the cardigan comes to life. If you have never purchased a kit from Wool and the Gang, you are missing out.
This is not my first kit and it won’t be me last. Speaking of kits, I had my Ipanema Espadrilles shipped to the hotel. What are they GG? Is that your question? That is the kit to make your own sandals! How flipping cool is that? OMGAWD! I had to order it but I was about to travel again and they wouldn’t arrive in time ;( so I shipped them to the hotel instead. Woot Woot! You know I love getting Gang mail, but getting it at the hotel? BONUS
Is this the most clever DIY kit EVER!!!  You get the soles, the mixed tape yarn, string, crochet hook (optional) and sewing needle. I started and finished in like an hour or so. The kit includes two styles and is currently on back order BUT if you are going to order the kit or anything for that matter use the coupon code GGRULEZ and get 15% off 🙂
Thank you all for the love on the blog feature, it was pretty amazing. I still feel super special!
So knitting is how I spent my weekend, what did you all do?
Knit on my fiber friends…knit on
GG
Nice! Can you show a full frontal and back pic of the cardi? The expatriates look nice.
Are you on my Facebook page, there are more shots there. But as soon as I get someone to take pics for me ..I will post them and thanks for reading!
Cool. Will check out the FB page. Thanks.
That was supposed to say espradrilles, not expatriates. ….silly autocorrect.
lol I understood!
You are super duper special sissy and it warms my heart and makes me smile when others comment about how special you are. YOU MY ROCKSTAR and you belong in The Knitters Hall of Fame!!!!!
Love you mean it!
Three gorgeous days of knitting that were oh so productive. Finished a test knit shawl. Watch for it on Ravelry soon by designer, Heather Anderson. Managed to block it and another shawl I finished Memorial Day Weekend. Also started a Fire Dragon Wing KAL!
I will keep an eye out for your test knit, that’s exciting 😋
Started working on the Azel Pullover by Heidi May at the Velvet Acorn! Chunky knitting, yay! Because I continue working on the Hue Shift Afghan from Knitpics, which is done on size 5’s, lol!
It’s a good juxtaposition!
Lol I love the balance! I want to make one of those too that pullover
Made an easy Sanibel cowl for my niece’s birthday the end of this week. Finishing a test knit for a group in Poland that has to be done by the 10th and enjoyed a quiet knitting filled weekend with the family and BBQ on the 4th!
Nice! Don’t think I’m familiar with Sanibel have to look that up. Thanks for sharing
Making your own shoes sounds so cool! Knit on my friend!
It was 😋 thanks
Do you know that I did NOT get the chance to knit this weekend? I’m about to remedy that tonight, though. My fingers need some needles.
I so know that feeling!
Girl, did you know that you are my new favorite thing (blog) right now?!?! I think I commented a few weeks ago telling you that I never knew you existed until that fabulous WATG post featuring you. And even though I had been following you on Ravelry because of your gorgeous Fearless cardigan you made since last year, I still didn’t know anything about your blog! I made mine in gray btw, and followed your adjustments to the T. Thank you for coming into my life! Lol! I’m glad you reviewed both the Pop Life Cardigan and the Ipanema kit, because I’m awaiting the arrival of both of them and the Tommy top as we speak! I can’t wait! Did you also have the pleasure to get the new Washed Out Denim color as well? Please let me know your thoughts and thanks for the coupon code
Hi Hannah! I do remember and welcome to the family! I saw that washed out denim and died a a little
I’m down with w knit a long in that washed out denim! Just say when!
Lol ok
