Silliness
I have just two projects on my needles these days.
This very old WIP is a sock yarn cowl.
I apologize for the awful picture.
Suffice to say its miles of stockinette and perfect for knitting while chatting. (and watching the Duggars. It is silly, but I confess, they captivate me)
The other project is the lace fingerless gloves.
Completely opposite in knit energy.
I really have to focus on the 4 row lace repeat.
Good knit friend Karen, suggested I count stitches after each row.
So far this has helped me stay on track.
Simple trick, keeps me from frustration.
If I'm off on the count, I tink back then and there.
Even a four row repeat can tangle my little knit mind.
I get silly looking at the lace pattern actually working!
The hummingbird is back. Again, I apologize for the lousy photo.
She's there on the left side of the feeder if you look closely.
We haven't had any visitors since May.
Guess we are just a migrating stop for this one.
We were hoping to have them all summer, but they ditched us.
We get very silly when we see one at the feeder.
I'm reading a book on prayer.
It is thought provoking. Not silly.
I imagine prayer should be silly too, God must be bored with all the beseeching. I do think God blesses us with humor. I shall try to give some back.
"Dear God, Please send me a good belly laugh today, I shall try to be less serious about today. I promise to think of you when I'm chuckling!"
Al sent me her Nook with many books already loaded on to it.
I can only chew on a few pages a day of this one.
What are you reading? Knitting?
silly over?

We still have hummies. They come and sit on the feeder by our window while we eat breakfast and dinner everyday. They just sit there and stare in at us. I wonder what they are thinking.
I'm going to Jackson Hole with my needle-felting, having been invited to display and demonstrate the craft in a Friday evening gallery walk-though. I'm feeling some sillines over the opportunity. Hope it's fun.
I like silly. I like thought-provoking, and I tell you the two are often best friends seen together. My silly contribution today is chair dancin'. I had some work today that required some method and focus which meant headphones. I didn't care who walked by the cube. I swear, isn't chair dancing why we have swiveling desk chairs in the first place? ;)
And I'm reading "Hyde," by Daniel Levine.
I'm reading for work mostly, books about education, but also a Zen classic, "Wherever You Go, There You Are," by Jon Kabat-Zinn
I need a good laugh today. I need to stop reading blogs and go find something funny on Netflix.
I need to find a good comedy movie to watch on Netflix. Any suggestions?
I'm reading --- well, actually nothing right now. I pulled a book off the shelf --- the first Rose Harbor book by Debbie Macomber, but I didn't start it today like I planned. I also bought a Galaxy s5 book that I need to work my way through. Then there is the new Southern Living that came today AND three socks that I'm working on. NOT.ENOUGH.HOURS. LOL
