Makers Meetup 2025

 I'll be back next week with more blogging, but, right now, it has been so crazy here at chez PJKnits, getting ready for the 2nd Annual Makers Meetup in Hoffman Estates that my friend, Kendra and I are hosting.  

Hope to see you there.

Where Is The Time Going

 In just two short weeks, we will be getting ready to head to the Makers Meetup in Hoffman Estates for a weekend of knitting with 100 of our closest friends!!

And in the meantime, I've been celebrating grands birthdays.

Knitting on a graduation gift

Startiing something new to knit on at the meetup, hopefully

Watching a thunderstorm come through with some much needed rain

Heat and sun came through today, while I pulled weeds early, ran errands, did laundry, sprayed stuff on weeds that didn't get pulled....

And now, I'm going to do some knitting!  

 

Can't Get Enough Of Knitting These

 Musselburgh #7 is for me and part of an ensemble for a trip I am taking later this year.  

It's Gift Yarn from my knitting adventure partner, Debbie. 

The yarn is Emma's yarn Hella Hank, and I am getting so much mileage out of the large skeins!!

I have a cowl already knit out of it, and now my hat.  Still enough for some mitts!

Now, # 9 is on the needles!  This one will truly be the seat partner in my car for some trips and appointments.  It isn't for anyone in particular, but I thought I needed a more masculine color for my charity pile of hats.  This one is Malabrigo Sock in the Pocion colorway.

I'm doing a quick Saturday trip and this will be my project since I do't think I have to drive...lots of knitting time!

Another Weekend

 Another hot one.

But, there is still knitting going on courtesy of the wonderful AC.

All blanket like knits, but that is what a Knitter can knit when there is some nice AC.

Hope you are keeping cool!

It Was A Hot Weekend!

 But, I spent it with the coolest kid.

It started with T-Ball, then a day of playing with cars and a long nap.

It ended with breakfast on the porch!

And memories of shopping in Destin.

It was the bestest weekend!

Finally Finished Friday

Some things I finished for the podcast last Monday, in case you haven't had a chance to watch it yet.

Dish Cloths

Vertices Unite Number 2 for the Unite KAL I am sponsoring through the end of July.

This one I decided needed to be in brights and my colors

I love love love it.

But, this is going to be my last one.

Musselburgh Number 8 out of Artistic Yarn by Abi's color way Monopoly.

Each one of these hats I knit is so much fun, and yes, there will be more.  They are my versions of the avid sock knitter!

Today is the first day of Summer and I could tell by the way the sun was shining my knitting room, that we've got a change in the season.  And in typical Central IL weather, its going to be above 90 for the for 

seeable  future! 

But, that won't stop me from knitting at all!

Summer Kick Off

Let's See What I've Been Doing

 Knitting on the porch.

Watching the animals come back to the water hole, while casting on a new sweater.

Finishing up Vertices Unite Number 2

And then giving it a nice bath.

Having some Sangria on the porch and finishing up Musselburgh Number 8

And now full circle back to the ongoing Half and Half Triangle Wrap, while having some coffee.

And thinking about Fathers and Fathers Day. 

This Is Good For A Laugh!!

 

Am I right?! LOL

The Dancers!

 As a mother of sons, and at the time I went to high school, if you were on the college track, you had to take gym, no dance classes, soooo, I am over the moon that both of my granddaughters are doing dance and that I got to attend their Saturday night recital and get to stay to see all 47 dances!

Aren't they beautiful young ladies!
