Between St. Pats and St. Josephs

If you want to see a Canada cowl by Stephen West design, or the Challah Infinity Scarf go to the 
threebagsfullcorner.blogspot.com site and check the new post out. 
I try to remember to tell you about my weekly posts there, but my scatter brain often forgets.  

On with MY blog: 

Fireman and I were in Delafield Wisconsin and he wanted to stop in the downtown area.  Knitch is the yarn shop I scored thanks to Siri.  
What a beautiful welcoming shop. 

 I need  (NEEEEEED) more sock yarn, and I'm nearly finished with my green and gold socks, so
I give you
this little beauty. 

 Zach asked where the irish Soda bread was last night...
so I had to whip some up. 
Did you have some soda bread this St. Pats?  

My Dog niece Quetzl turned nine on Sunday. 
Here she is obliging her Veterinarian mother with a princess party picture.  She did get the salmon to herself for dinner. 
What's my blog without a fur baby picture?


Tomorrow is St. Joseph's day. 
The Italian feast day and feasting day.
Don't forget to wear some red!

I did indeed have soda bread on my table. I love it. I always wonder why I don't make it more often.
I am drooling over your sock yarn score. What happy colors!

Siri is the best for finding yarn and quilt shops!

I found a GREAT yarn shop in Charleston a few years back --- I think it's closed now.

And, yes, I did have soda bread. Even shared some with the dogs.

Love the new yarn! I would have loved soda bread on the table but we ate a $1.50 hotdog at Costco for dinner. Oh we do live the high life. :-)
((hugs)), Teresa :-)

No soda bread, but I am all about sock yarn. I never think to ask Siri about the yarn shops!

LOL We were a day early for St. Joseph's Day.....we had Italian food last night.

Love the picture of the "Princess" pup! Happy birthday to her.

You know how it is with sock yarn.....it's like potato chips. Once you get started it is almost impossible to stop. ;-) Ask me how I know!

You are quickly becoming a sock fiend! But who can blame you - hand-knit socks are the best!

Oh my goodness Delifield!!!!! I used to live very close to there in Oconomowoc, well for a short bit of time. I love that area so much. There was no yarn store there when I was living there, the closest one was in Elmgrove.

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.
