Fingerless by AL

 I love seeing your holiday decorations. 
Our tree is up. 
I'm listening to Carols during the day. 
Tank is so smart.   He knows to watch the fireplace chimney for Santa....
Al's knitting fingerless for her friend Heather. 
Aren't they pretty?
My girl, off from school for a bit, and able to knit. 
They are Toby Roxane's XMITTS

I think you told me it was Malabrigo. 

Short Sunday Post today. 
Wishing you extra moments of peace today

Is Uncle Tank hoping for a catnip mouse for Christmas?

Al's mitts are beautiful. Sure looks like Malabrigo from here. ;-)

Beautiful cat and beautiful mitts! Is it a kind of drop-stitch technique that forms the diamond pattern? What very gorgeous yarn. Reminds me a bit of Colinette Art.

We were supposed to decorate our tree today, but Daughter couldn't make it. That's okay --- I like to see just the lights anyway.

My tree is not up - not many decorations are in my house. I suppose I'd better get on that or time will slip away from me.

Love the mitts. Nice job, Al!

Lovely tree! I've been listening to carols since before Thanksgiving this year which is out of the ordinary. I don't usually put up my tree until my birthday on the 16th but this year I've been tempted to get it out earlier. If I get it out too soon though it gets covered in cat hair and bird feathers and that's no fun. This is Pup's first Christmas so I'm wondering how much damage my ornaments will receive. Ho ho ho....

Beautiful tree and mitt - and yarn! I need to weave in ends on the baby blanket, but that will have to wait another night. Where did the time go?

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.
