Sorry folks, I have decided to take the rest of the Holiday weekend off. I will still answer emails, but will not be knitting. Sorry especially to Jessica and Erin as this will put me a couple days further out on your items. I just need to get better, being sick for the better part of the week is kicking my butt. 
Check out A La Mode this Friday for some killer deals. I have listed a Free For Shipping YYMN slot for a newborn longies/hat set. This is a $25 value!!! I am so thankful to all my wonderful customers and wanted to pass something on this holiday season.
On a more personal note, I am sick. I have a horrible head cold and its not getting better yet. Add that with my youngest (Addyson is 12 weeks now) being sick as well and its been rough. I am getting more behind on my knitting schedule by the day
I didn’t get the new hat/blanket collab listed in time so I will put it up for a Black Friday special.
I got Shayne’s longies all done today and have started the matching hat. I am moving slower as me and Addyson are now sick. Katarina is still not 100% so it has been a rough week with long nights.

I have some auctions going as well as some penny shipping. I am hoping to get pics in the morning of the ear flap cap I knit up today to match a blanket, browns and teal. super cute. 
I also sent off Jessica’s longies set today. It is so sweet, hope you love it!
I am casting on Shayne’s longies today. Then I will go back and do the other 2 hats for Jessica and then I am going to get Erin’s longies all re-worked up for her.
And then that should finish me up for the year and just leave the huge project list for all the Christmas gifts and Addyson’s longies stash. Poor girl is out growing all her wool way faster then I can’t knit them up to replace them. lol

A new style of cuff, as well as the hat (for me at least) and an action shot of Addy trying on the hat. 
I was able to get Jessica’s longies done yesterday and I have the matching hat about 1/2 way done right now. I have the longies being blocked now and should be dry enough to ship in a couple days. The cold weather is increasing my drying time significantly. I am hoping to have all the hats done by the time the longies are dry.
Jessica’s longies are on the needles, waistband done and working on the rise. I am hoping to have these done in just a couple days, maybe even ready to ship monday… we will see how my weekend turns out. LOL.
So as some of you might remember, my husband broke his ankle back in March. Well he did it again, well didn’t break it but twisted it really bad. He is home from work for the rest of the week and needs to do an RICE treatment and start some physical therapy in a week or 2 so that it doesn’t happen again. I took him to the dr today so that didn’t help my time line, nor does him being laid up and unable to help me out very much.
SOOOOO, this means I haven’t started Jessica’s longies quite yet, but I am winding the yarn tonight. It won’t take long once I get it on my needles though.
Oh and A La Mode is stocking tomorrow at 1pm EST, 10 am PST. http://hyenacart.com/alamode/
I have some cute christmas hats up as well as some hair scrunchies that my mom knit up. Even a FFS offering! Check it out. 
Wanted to update since I will be out of the house most of tomorrow and then we are going to be gone most of the weekend.
Kim’s longies are on my needles right now. I have them split for the legs and am working on the first leg now. They are turning out so beautiful! I am hoping that things will work out and I will get them done by friday for shipping on monday.
I still have some girly longies instock on A La Mode
And I used my birthday money and purchased myself an Ipod Touch, so I will now have email on me all the time. This will help because it will keep me from getting distracted on the internet all day long and make my time more productive with my knitting and mostly my family. So feel free to shoot me an email (mamabear@dakineknits.com) and I will get back to you asap, this will also be the best way to contact me.
Thanks!
