You know am not one for picture less posts. I promise good pictures tomorrow.

 So if I am going to make you read, I hope I can make you smile.  

 Knitting: hat to match baby shawl.  I've gone patternless.....kind of like a nudist colony.   Doing my own thang and enjoying the freedom.  It is not always pretty but it feels so good!

Can't decide if the crackle nail polish I'm wearing looks nice or like a fungus erupted....on my fingers

 Finally , it is march and I'm going to celebrate everyday of it this year.  For a change. 

 Even if I have to buy more yarn to get through chicago not spring!

 What are you doing today with this fine ordinary day.

Carpe Diem is a great motto! I wonder whether they'll be able to dye the river this year on St. Paddy's Day? That's something I've always wanted to see.....

I love patternless knitting. Can't wait to see what finds its way to your needles. I am still playing with G-grandson and visiting with Chicago granddaughter and her husband. Tomorrow we have to let them go and I will be sad, but today I can't take my eyes off of that cute, sweet little boy!!

Today, I am "cleaning" my sewing room. Unfortunately, getting started is difficult since everything I pick up sends me into a rabbit hole of "hmmm, I really should finish this project."

Buying yarn ALWAYS sounds like a good idea to me.

Today was a Disney day ---- the weather was beautiful, wish you were here. ;-)

Name changes. Some of them are very complicated. Good thing I love my new name.

You're so brave. I get nervous when I just have to make a slight change in a pattern. I couldn't imagine going without. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
As for today, we are digging out from another snowstorm and enduring single digit cold. Ugh.

I'm trying to decide what to do for Lent. I'm not much on giving things up, but my cholesterol is high, but I generally take a more spiritual bend...

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.
