A Very Rare Sunday Post

* My sister loves her blanket.
It arrived for her birthday.
She left me a long long thank you voicemail that I saved.
Do you save voicemails, just because....?

*I'm continuing to knit the suede shawlette.

*I ordered more Suede, in a blush color.
Potato chip knitting on tap here...
another Suede Shawlette will follow.

*Pippa is trusting us a bit more-
All 6 kittens present and accounted for .

*DO you subscribe to KnittingParadise.com?
What do you think of it?

*If I could change one thing about my knitting
today, it would be: I'd give up some nap time to knit
But I cannot. Must nap before working tonight.
I dreamt the other night, that I was actually
succedding in knitting a lace shawl...
oh stop laughing all of you!

The blanket looks great and your sister looks very happy with it!

Lovely blanket, so nice when things are appreciated. I have never heard of Knitting Paradise, will go check that out. Glad momma kitty and babies are doing well.

We adopted one kitty from a rescue and he's such a fun cat. The other two were "adopted" from a coworker who didn't get her kitty fixed and let her outside (she is fixed now though), worked out for us because we ended up with two wonderful cats from her mistake.

I'll bet that blush color is pretty. Check the Berrocco website for cute little bootie patterns...as I recall, they were free. We save voicemails from the GK and play them whenever we need a lift. ;) Off to check your website link.....

Love the blanket! I know your sister loves it. I also KNOW that you can knit lace!

I like the idea of recording every family member just so I can hear their voices often and keep them close to me.

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.
