Talk Before Sleep

By -


(A Great Book by the way. Have you read it?)

I've been talking to myself before I fall asleep. Apparently I talk during my sleep as well. This could be a direct result of being alone most of the time in the house lately. Not that I don't talk to the kitties, ad nauseam, I do. At any rate, it has been a relief because I have made some knitting choices because of it.

Log Cabin blanket. Over. I'm stopping with the small piece I made last year. The arm just won't comply with the type of knitting, and yarn. It is all good however. I am flat knitting a baby blanket with the Riverstone yarn instead. Straight garter stitich, on straight needles. It will be wool and non machine washable, but it can be handwashed. I just can't give it to any infant that looks like it will or does have reflux....

Ruffled Prayer Shawl. Bye bye Ruffle. I am never going to force myself to do the second ruffle. I showed it to you already and yes it is impressive and lacey. But I think I 'd rather watch the Cubs lose the World Series than knit the other ruffle. And, I think I am going to CUT IT OFF. Better I finish it for my mentor than not finish it for her.

That's it. Strike three they are out! No instant replay. No throwing them out of the game. No protesting. No double-switches.....maybe I am watching too much post season baseball......before I sleep.....




I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

That is hilarious--the thought of giving a wool blanket to an infant with reflux. Just plain evil! I love it!

We all have those knitting projects that just won't cooperate and have to be junked! BTW I love your war with ruffles. It makes mine with short rows pale by comparison.

P.S. Oh my, I misread that! I thought you said you WILL give it to an infant with reflux. Still a funny thought!

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.
