"Nuttin but knittin" - that says it all, with an occasional deviation into the real world.

And.....

A couple of things I forgot to mention.....

A pretty cute book.  I'm enjoying this immensely.  I fell for the cover dog.  Who could resist?

Also, I should have linked the glove pattern that I am using.  It's Classy Cabled Gloves, a pay pattern on Ravelry.  The hat I made for mom was the Brambles Beret, a freebie on Rav.  I added another pattern repeat for a slouchy outcome per the suggestion of the designer.  She stressed that it was a good idea, especially with an Acrylic blend yarn, which is what Berroco Vintage is.  The cables do not match between the two, but I don't think mom will care.

Thanks to those of you who have left flower tips and suggestions.  Also comments on the flooring dilemma are appreciated.  Mike, (the flooring store manager) and I are getting to be close friends.  lol

Cute cover!
I still can't believe how fast we decided everything last year, when we did renovations. It's rare to have such luck with tiles, and flooring etc. I guess I just knew what I wanted, and let nobody tell me otherwise. ;o)

I can so relate to your kitchen remodel! Our car would go to Lowe's on auto-pilot...... I've yet to try those gloves; downloaded the first time you made the pattern. Good intentions.....
