The Fall Swap was a lot of fun. Thank you for organizing it.

I'm trying to finish a couple of projects this weekend so I can start some new ones, too.

The swap was the best!! Your shawl is going to be beautiful. I love drapey shawls, and the color is gorgeous.

Any weekend that starts with a morning at Bed, Bath & Beyond is a good one in my book. I have a new bath mat, a new ceramic chopping knife and Citrus and Sage room spray. I love that place!!

Glad to see the box made it to you! Those things in the photo were what I was afraid would get smashed although they made it to me OK. Hope you have fun with the ruffle yarn. Have you made one of those scarves? They knit up quickly.

It is kind of hard to see in the tiny pictures, but are they tiny crochet hooks. Could they be "stitch fixers"?

For a moment I thought they were Pez dispensers ... but the stitch fixers makes more sense.

That Silky Tweed looks and sounds gorgeous. :)

i believe i sent the russian doll stitch markers but to be honest I am not sure, I sent the Cherry Tree Hill Yarn and another blue one, I sent the multicolored bag and the tea. I love the autumny bag and yarn I got that Leslie put in!!

Haha! I can tell you what those little guys are for, they are just food picks for picnics, or appetizers, cheese or bento box lunches. The small containers are for sauces such as soy, salad dressing and olive oil.

Sorry they were not knitterly! I just thought they were cute.

Pie is so cute, the only way you could say no, is for her safety eh?

The little goodies are for your lunch box! They are picks to stick in sandwiches, cheese or fruit (as a handle or for the sake of cute). The little bottles are for soy sauce or salt and the link.

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.
