Guernsey Goings ON !

By -
 I've Gone Guernsey.  Yup.  I can do this! 
I'm knitting "That Easy Guernsey Hat"
a free Ravelry pattern.

Gosh Golly Gee I LOVE guernsey! 
I have in my knit book collection:
Knitting Ganseys' by Beth Brown -Reinsel.
I believe Marguerite suggested it years ago. 
Sometimes think have to simmer in my mind a bit before I can attempt them....
Stay tuned for more Gansey fun. 




and now for furry ones' pictures
 Pie baby likes to lounge on the sofa with us now. 
I found her in Zach's closet the other day laying on a pile of clothes.  All cats know this place of joy...but how??
I met Moxi at our local ice cream venue yesterday.  She rides in a pack on her person while he rides a motorbike....
She wears her goggles well. 
She's a lucky rescue from Arizona her person tells me.  
Dear Diane has a grand dog who wears goggles too.  Eye protection....can't take it to lightly for the travelin' ones. 

What's going on by you?

Looks like a fun hat pattern to knit. I'm curious as to how it will look when it's read to wear.

Pie...what a cutie! Love that picture. She sure looks like she feels loved and at home!!

A little dog with goggles! Oh my, that is so cute. Perhaps if you start a dog out young wearing them, they are totally OK with it, eh?

What a fun post today!

Gansey knitting is such fun! Round and round and no seams. Start with one of the little kid sweaters where you don't have to worry much about gauge and fit. You'll love it!

Pie probably found the pile of comfort by the scent. We dog-sit a golden retriever and when we leave she ALWAYS pulls something of Steve's up on the bed and sleeps with it. She NEVER chews it -- just wants it by her.

What a cute pup and the goggles are ADORABLE.

So cute - all of it! I'm on a green kick, so the yarn speaks to me, and Pie is just too cute.

My sister's lab wears Doggles on the boat.

Can't wait to see the hat. I love to discover new knitting techniques. I think it keeps our knitting fresh!

Pie is so cute lounging on the couch! She certainly knows how to make herself comfortable. Macy and Max love to find a pile of clean clothes fresh from the dryer to lounge in.

I would love to see Moxi in her goggles!

I agree with Marguerite, start with something small, and soon you will be hooked.

What a newsy and fun post - love the photos and the green yarn.

What could be cuter than a dog with goggles on? You are brave with the Guernsey.

It was suggested by the vet that my blind doggie wear "doggles" but she wouldn't keep them on. Too bad she couldn't have seen how cute she would have looked in them. That biker goggie is a riot!

Pie is SO cute! I have that same Gansey book but haven't tried any of the patterns. Cats that walk on a leash and dogs that wear goggles, amazing! We did see a guy out walking their cat on his shoulder yesterday though.

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.
