McButter.....or Molly my model

By -
Molly's modeling career continues here on Irisheyesknitters. Al knit this one taking a fairisle pattern she liked and putting it on a hat. Dale of Norway. I think Molly deserves a hat ......She loves to wear them. This one is promised to another of Al's cousins for Christmas.

Leave it to dishcloth knitting to raise my confidence for my next pair of socks. Who knew? I found the round pattern interesting to knit. Me? Patterns? Interesting? I think I feel like knitting my STR Grand Canyon medium weight into Lisa Parker's Savannah socks. Has anyone knit her patterns out there?

Hmmmm, the Cubs won their division, looks like Northwestern will beat Michigan today, and I want to knit a sock with a pattern............what is going on? (Im still not a Cub fan.....They've done this before....but I am happy for all of you able to enjoy this..)

Rob was wondering if you were still "not a Cub Fan". I think Molly deserves a hat too! She is so cute!

Molly is a beautiful little girl - and deserves beautiful hats to wear! Both look wonderful in the photo!

I also wanted to mention, Kathy, that the purses I knit from Lion Suede are not going to be felted. Lion Suede is a 100% synthetic yarn, so it can't be felted. They have recently introduced a new product, Lion Wool(100% wool,) that they recommend for felting.

Have a great weekend!

What a beautiful hat for a beautiful girl (she does need one of her own). I've never knit a Lisa Parker pattern either. Good luck with your new sock!

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

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

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.
