The Mom Cave?

By -

For starters today, I'd like to thank a girl who is a light in our life right now. We didn't meet her until today, but she is showing Al a great kindness. There is something very powerful about being a light for each other in this life of ours. Usually the person who is the light, doesn't even realize it. I am always impressed with the power of one little flame when our electric goes out and we light that first match. It chases the darkness to the corners of the room, and that is what this young girl has done. I think I better knit her some socks....


Beatles is surrounded by my next yarn. I sort of snatched it from Grace when she had a sale....could these colors be any better for a grey Chicago knit up in February? I really shouldn't cast on another pair until I finish the Simply Ginny's but I have to give my hands a break. As slick as the new needles are, they are too stiff. I need my woodies......

and finally, I heard the term MOM Cave today. It is supposed to be the equivalent of the Man Cave for a woman. It is a silly idea, that a woman needs a whole room before she can relax......we all know all she needs is a pair of needles and some good yarn.

I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

What could be better for February than sunshine yellow? Can't wait to see your sunny socks!

I agree that we need more angels in the world. Even better, can't we all be angels for each other? We would just wander around smiling and knitting socks for each other.

I have a Mom cave! It's called the kitchen. Oh, and there's also the laundry room!

Love the sunny yarn. I am desperate for a Mom cave. It seems like everyone in my house has their own space but me. My husband has a workout room and an office. My son's their own rooms. I would love a craft area, with a comfy sofa and a TV all to myself!
Have a great day,
Meredith

Such a bright and festive yarn.

I have a Mom-cave, but I really would rather knit in the middle of everything. So, usually I'm in the family room.

My Mom-cave is Stephen's bedroom and I haven't refinished the walls or carpet yet. But, I will. Then maybe I'll spend more time in there. Right now it's mostly just storage for all my needlework stuff.

I think the firehouse gym is my cave. I realize the day crew uses it, but on Crew 5 nights, it's mine, all mine. No dogs. No one else holding the remote.

Much as I love my husband and walking with my dogs, there's something fabulous about just getting on the elliptical and running and running...

and our Mom cave is portable, we can take it with us and find serenity in any location. I am so grateful I fell in love with knitting!!!

ANd yes repay your angel with socks, we must always remember to show our gratitude, even though it is never expected it makes it easier to continue spreading the love.

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.
