I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

sorry. I had to. Its EVERYWHERE. Even on ETSY.


WildSeaDesign's knitted golden tiara, (ETSY.com)

I was a bit under the weather today, so I viewed more Television than normal. I dont' mind the Royal craziness. It beats coverage of mass murders, corporate cheating and gas prices. I've been knitting more TOAST fingerless mitts. I am using a patterning yarn with a decent sts/inch ratio.

The last pair of fingerless I made are mine mine mine. I love to pull them up high on my hands. That is something I can't do with a thumb knitted into the design. This will be a gifty pair.

I wonder if Kate the Bride will wear fingerless? My favorite part of the wedding watch, will be all the Kings horses. I Love horses. What will you knit during the Royal Wedding? (Grace, what TEA is appropriate for the big event?????)

I won't see any of the wedding thank goodness. I'll be in a knitting machine seminar all day. It starts at 4 am so people will have to get up early.

I would go with English Breakfast for the morning events and then switch over to Earl Grey or Darjeeling as the day progesses!!! If I had seen the crown earlier I may have tried to knit one, maybe I can find a big floppy sunhat tomorrow and add some knitted flowers HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I love the Royal craziness and will record the event during the early morning hours so I can watch it several times! We all knew I'm weird anyway so I confess to being a Royal watcher!

Hope you feel better soon. Family in Chicago are begging us to send some sunshine (and 85 degree temps)in a bottle. If I can get it together I'll send you some.

MJ's a royal watcher, so she'll schedule her commute to work after the kiss and whatever comes next...

Sissy would love a crown, but we're still trying to keep her in check from the whole Best in Show stuff.

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.
