Karen's Swiss Cheese Scarf

By -


Karen was having fun while she made the scarf. I'd seen it somewhere in a photo, probably Ravelry, but not in person.
If you don't know, or didn't surmise, as I didnt' : it is buttonholes and buttonholes and more buttonholes. Cute huh?

Still working on my thumbed glove. I am working a thumb like a gusset. I didn't realize I've never done this before.
I like it because it is easier to do than run around some stitches in a circle on four needles. I think I'll really like the result.
I don't do well running around in circles. Period.

So it is MY weekend. The weekend where I work the night shift and we lose and hour! I know the seasoned night nurses know how to feed the 2 oclock babies at a new time , but thank goodness there will be 14 others nurses there to help me figure it out......otherwise I will be running around in circles.

One less hour to stay awake. What annual fun for those of us who are night shift!

I can't believe we haven't organized a theme of treats for in the lounge. Hmmmmm. What would the theme be? Perhaps there is no TIME to get to the lounge on this evening........aha moment for me.....
I talk more in the'm comments!

Neat! However, I bet I'd get sick of the pattern... Only one way to find out, eh?

I love the swiss cheese! I never thought about it before but while I am frustrated because i am going to lose an hour of precious sleep there are others, like you, who are thankful that they don't have to stay up or work for that extra hour! I feel better already and I haven't even lost the sleep yet!

I have Swiss Cheese in my queue. Her's looks great. Will have to get it done before next winter.

I love the longer daylight but I hate the time change. I'm so glad that I don't have to make any major adjustments.

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.
