January loves...

 

I know, I am a day late on the January loves. :)  How about if I share with you how my knitting week went and then we will get to the linky loves, sound good?

 

 Pattern~ Knitted patchwork recipe

Lovely cloudy and rainy days dictated mandatory scrap blanket knitting.

 

 

It is hard not to work on the blanket when treats like these come in the mail. These colorful balls are from a sock yarn scrap swap with Olivia.

 

 Pattern ~ My basic vanilla pattern (64 sts)  Yarn~ Three Ewes Twisted in Fiber (no longer in business) in the color Take My Breath

My January stripes socks are completed. The colors are perfect and just in time for Valentine's day, would you say?

 

 

The week was a series of good mail days. Friends are so amazing!

 

 

Fun new project bags are at the ready for the next cast-on frenzy.

This weekend the state of Arizona will be hosting the SuperBowl. Despite my Broncos not being in it, I will still watch it. I love football. One of the many great things about football is that it lends itself to many hours of knitting. 

Okay enough about me. How about if we go visit some loves?

• It seems my monthly love posts wouldn't be complete without something from Leigh's beautiful blog. I really enjoyed this post.
• Eye candy for sure with this FO from Cory Ellen.
• January posts are always entertaining when peeps are posting about their goals or ideas for the new year. Loved this one.
• Binge watching knitting podcasts is a norm for me, especially when they are as entertaining as FiberTrek. Little known fact about me, in my dreams I live a cabin with many dogs, sheep and nature surrounding me. Is it any wonder I'm smitten with this podcast?
• I love the color grey/gray and not just in yarn. I adore it in the sky, landscape and especially in the words of Fran.
• Ashley's color video
• Window shopping led me to insta-crushes on this sheepy coffee cup and this project bag.
• A post about sock yarn madness...I am so there.

 

Enjoy your visits? I hope so.

I will leave you now with a fun song to celebrate the sweater weather many have been dealing with.

 

 

      

Have the best day today!

XO,

Andi       

**P.S. A book review and giveaway will be posted tomorrow. :)

The scrap blanket can be so addicting, you don't have to think about shaping, color choice, just absolute creative freedom. So relaxing. How big is it already?

Oh, Andi, you really have the kindest loving soul. LOVING that sock yarn blanket (I mean, super wow!) and all your January "loves". I'm wishing you get all the grey days your sweet heart desires - I can see why you liked Fran's post makes me almost want to forgive all the months of grey days we've had since last fall...but not quite ;) this girl desperately needs the sun. Big hugs to you! XOXO

I am covering your stripy socks. They are adorable and sweet. Those are cute projects bags. They're perfect for sock projects.
I love that song. It's so sexy. I try to play it once a day on Spotify.

Your socks are just perfect for February Andi and they are so pretty. I think socks should always be pretty don't you?
Great song, you always expand my music and my link list :)
Oh, I sent you a friend request on Goodreads, I'm new so am still trying to learn my way around.
Have fun watching the game.

Do you have socks for every holiday? I think it would be great fun to have Valentines, St. Patricks, Halloween, etc. socks.
