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 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.
