In the Pink

By -
 
The baby poncho in progress is pictured above.
I found a bag of koigu in the closet.  (it had been a baby sweater that AL frogged a few years back.)  
I'm knitting the koigu with a pink skein of Lorna's Laces that Irisheyes Lynn gave me. 
It will be darling when finished, but the double strands are wearing on my wrist. 

I need my hands/wrists/fingers to stay in the Pink. Therefore, the poncho is on hold. 

Zachary gave me these gorgeous flowers for Mother's Day.   The pinks are my favorite. 
Someone named Pink has a song about learning to love again.   Fireman likes it so I googled it, and I like it too.  I like that the guy from the band FUN is singing the duet with Pink.  

 Pop Culture....It escapes me sometimes.  I try to keep up.  There are some wonderful new artists in our world.  

 What's Pink in your world today?

I looked at People magazine at the Dentist's off ice recently and I swear I didn't know half of the young actors, Apparently I am getting old!
Love your pick.

Have you considered wearing like these: http://www.joann.com/craft-gloves/prd35529/

Maybe your hands just need some support while knitting with some yarn.

Love your pink knitting and flowers.

Cute poncho in pink!!

The flowers are gorgeous! Rich pink color!!

I don't wear much pink because I have more yellow or golden tones in my skin...but love the various colors of pink available in yarns, etc.

Well, when it comes to Pop Culture, I find I'm slowly becoming less familiar with "happening" artists, although I try to stay informed. Did you all see that Tom Jones and Rod Stewart have just put out new albums? It's amazing how they have kept their careers going.

I'm afraid I am a bit of a stick-in-the-mud when it comes to pop music! I seem to stick with the oldies like the original Rod Stewart. Give me Fleetwood Mac and I'm happy!!

I am in awe of your flower photos. I went out and tried to capture some pink things I was planting this morning and gave up.

I have a little niece who is 23 months old. She has 3 older brothers who are 8,7 and 4. She has a heart health issue and she loves loves loves pink. So in that respect she is a little girl, but because of her older brothers she is a Tom Boy.

Poncho is cute!! How big a baby are you knitting for?

As far as pink, I have an 11 y/o so we have lots of pink in the house. It changes hues but pink is still in the mix. Her outfit for tomorrow is a combo pink/black.

I am casting wildly about for something pink in my world ... and there it is in front of me.

Tallulah the Turtle is sporting a dinosaur costume - pink stegosaurus-type fins down her back.

What beautiful flowers and that poncho will be very cute.

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.
