Name Dropping

By -


Bianca of lansingerland.blogspot.com sent me these fingerless gloves a while back. I adore them. She wrote the pattern. She sells her patterns on clipperknits. The link is on her blog. (She a rockin pretend friend!)

Fireman and I have been doing things we haven't done in awhile since Huck died. We tried to go golfing. The course was in Eagle Ridge, Galena. They have marvelous trails too. Fireman wanted to go for a walk. So we did and we both ended up crying because Huck would have loved it. There was a lake, and well, Huck loved to swim. Even when we go away, his memories well up in us.

anyhow, back to name dropping. Grace of Lovin Comfort knits, another great pretend friend, gave our humble little knit blog an award. The Neno's Award. I hereby give the award on to Karen of musingsofaselftaughtknitter.com . We are supposed to say why we love to blog. My Answer: Because of the incredible pretend friends that you make.

Pass it on Karen, pretend friend. Pass it on

Dh just left to play golf and now I wish I had gone with him to walk! I'm so sorry to hear that the grief for Huck is still so fresh but I understand it very well. I can't even allow myself to think about how I would feel if it was Macy!

Thanks for the link to Karen's blog. It's one I haven't enjoyed before.

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 ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
