Did I show you my newest COUPLE?
Allison found this one in Chicago and gave it to me for my birthday. 
This is the only bride I have with a real dress.  
I love my Wedding collection. 

I was thinking about my favorite patterns yesterday.

Here are a few that I've loved over the years: 

*The Baby Raglan sweater is so simple and sweet.
(Nomad Yarns Simple Baby Pullover)

*Knitting Pure and Simple's Raglan

*Any round dishcloth 

*Trap of course

*The Linus Dog Sweater. 
Also very easy

*All socks

*My Oat Couture Vest.
This one was finished by Martha at Three Bags Full.
It has a zipper front and it is so warm .

*The Pickles' children's Vest.
Clever construction with no finishing. 

*The Mizzle Shawl

There are many others.  
If you are pondering a new knit up,

I usually pick very easy patterns. 
Well no, I always pick easy patterns…

What are some of your all time favorite patterns?

Most of my favorites are socks: Monkey, Tidal Wave, Blueberry Waffle.

I have Mizzle (and the yarn to make it) in my stash.

I LOVE the new wedding couple! That dress is so snazzy. Can I still say snazzy? I am liking little coffee bean, baby sophisticate and tea leaves. Shawl/scarf I liked The hitchhiker and Antarktis -- though it pains me to spell it everytime. I may have it wrong. I'm going to follow Dee's lead and try and pick up some favorite sock patterns besides Mr. Dress-up.

Her dress is quite lovely. I have too many favorites but the Elise Shawl and the Olive Twist Ahalw are my favorite crochet patterns, I have way too many knitting patterns to pick a favorite.
Hugs,

The kickbag is the only favorite at the moment, and you already know I'm frogging the current rendition there. Hrmph.

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.
