Dedicate Your Blog DAY 4.25.11

By -

Who would you dedicate your blog to? I'd like to ask fellow bloggers to dedicate their post or their entire blog to someone on Monday April 25th. Dedicated to the ones we love....
I'll have a button available later for you to post on your blog it you wish.

This is the Mirror Mirror Vest coming along. The fronts don't match right now. Time to rip out the right front. I can see why some people knit the fronts at the same time. I am beginning to understand reverse shaping if you can believe it! It has been a stretch for me. Karen has been great with the pattern write up. I'm reading the Happiness Project book and apparently we are happy when we acquire a new skill. I haven't acquired it yet...and I am not very happy trying. Here's looking forward to mastery of the vest and new found happiness!

It took come serious psyching myself up to take the vest out again. Then I struggled with it last night. hmmmmm. MAYBE tonight I'll try again. If at first we don't succeed.....

I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

I'm in! But who will I pick? And what will I write about? I hope I get a good idea.

Is it bad that my first thought was to dedicate it to Angus? I still miss him every day.

The vest is so pretty! You have done a wonderful job on it and I know you can finish it. We all have to tink back at times to make things even up. It's just one of those knitting challenges we all face. I'm so glad you didn't frog it!!

I'll think about my dedication over the weekend.

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.
