santa overlooks yarn shortage.....

By -


Not everything in the workshop goes as planned. I think I'm preaching to the choir here. Darned if Al wasn't just a few yards short of finishing the cousin's hoodie sweater when she ran out of yarn. Well, she must be on the nice list, as there was more yarn in the North Pole where they have more than 3 Bags Full.

A funny thing happened on the way to cyberspace.......
Al was trying to give an unnamed friend the blog name and overheard her giving the name to someone else over the phone. "It's irish with an 'E', then yes, then knitters dot blogspot dot com"

It's all in how you look at it. While we are looking at things, I want to tell you that I had an eye exam and all is well. My eyes are simply MATURING, as the doctor said. So I am now in a pair of progressive lenses and making the adjustment pretty easily. The key, I'm told, is to point your nose at what you want to see. I want to see new yarn under the tree....I'll be nose pointing whenever I get a chance....

I got progressives a while ago and they are the greatest. I would never go back to bifocals. After a while you stop thinking about pointing your nose and just do it automatically. I have no idea what's in the box. I've never asked anyone to get me yarn, because I want to pick it out myself. The big box is also very light, compared to it's size, so I wonder if he hid a small box in the big one? It won't be open until Christmas Day, after I get home from work that morning -- yes, I have to work, we are shorthanded this holiday and I have to help cover. But the suspense will probably kill me before then. Hope the actuality lives up to the expectation.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
