Happy Blogoversary Barknknit!

I almost missed my Blogoversary!! Barknknit Blog turns 2 today! I can't believe I've been knitting and blogging for two years now! I started knitting right around the time I started this blog and so much has happened since it's crazy!! I became a better knitter, I started spinning, I processed fleece! I also happened to get married and get a new job! Crazy how much can happen in 2 years!

I love looking back on the last two years and seeing all the pictures I've shared. I love all the cute doggie faces and all the pretty yarn and fiber and knitting!

Thank you my readers for hanging around and reading my craziness! I appreciate you all!

Well..to catch you up from my weekend...Thursday night at about 3am I woke up with the stomach flu...it was bad! I didn't end up being able to eat a meal until Sunday morning. Took me a while to feel back to normal. I'm better now and today at work was pretty good. I got a little nauceous a couple times but I just drank some water and breathed and it seemed to be better. My stomach is still getting used to food again. I am not a fan of the stomach flu!!!

Well...other than that I didn't do much this weekend. I really couldn't knit until saturday and even than it was very basic stuff. I missed a day of spinning for Tour de Fleece but I think I had a good excuse!

And since I can't resist...here are some fiber pictures!

I've started work on the 2nd 3 oz of the sock yarn that I'm making. This is my first single of the 3ply from Manda's stash! Thank you Manda!! :)
I also managed to get some dyeing in this weekend. I love the colors!And of course! I have to include my babies! Here's Abby on the couch with her bone!
And Jackjack resting up after a long day!
Hope you are doing well! I'm going to go back to trying to figure out a friend's sweater I've been ripping and re-knitting on and off for the last couple weeks! I feel bad because I need to get it back to her but it takes so much mental energy to work on it's driving me crazy! I'm almost done and am doing to try one more thing..pray that this works out!

Ok..hope everyone is good! Happy Blogging!!

The little things...

Sometimes it's the little things that a person you love does for you that mean more than they can imagine. Today started out as a normal day. I actually had a temp job today being the receptionist at the temp agency I am using. It's pretty much the only day this week that I'm working. :)

I got up and walked the dogs, made coffee and toast with jelly for breakfast, made my lunch, got ready for work, and headed out the door. Walked down to my car, fixed the seat because Special K was the last to drive it. Got settled in and turn the ignition...only to find that my car would not start. Yesterday I was on empty and we took my car to meet Special K's boss to go out on the boat. I had known we needed to stop and put gas in the car but on the way there we were running late and after the boat we just were tired and came home. We drove his truck around that night so I never thought about my lack of gas again...until 7:30am when I thankfully was heading to work early. So...I quickly called Special K at work and told him my car wouldn't start. He said without hesitation I'll be right there. A little more than 10 minutes later he picked me up and drove me to work. We got there on time and he kissed me good bye, said I love you and I'll pick you up at 5.

Now...this may not seem like much but to me it shows me how much we are a couple now and how much he loves me and is my partner in life. I've never been one to depend on people outside my family. I usually am there for my friends but don't call them for much. Special K is the first boyfriend that I've allowed myself to depend on. We have only been together a short while...will be 6 months next saturday but he means more to me than anything. We have our disagreements and we both have our moments of wanting to kill each other but in the end we always end our day on a positive note and an I love you.
