 Morning breaking beautifully at our Historic Grove. 
I was up early for spays and neuters. 
The morning is so quiet and welcoming, but I still prefer to sleep till nine when I can.....
You will laugh but I exchanged the ITO dental floss yarn for this biggy cotton.  Seriously.  I did. I'm going to arm knit a cool cowl. 
Really.  I am.  I prefer cotton around my neck.

Here's  my sister's goofy Gordon Setter. That's redundant, because all Gordons are super goofy.  She has a new camera and he's hiding behind the blanket I made her years ago. 
I prefer Goldens, but Gordens are fun too-


For those of you who prefer Ito,  here is a silky soft shawl with a million gazillion tiny stitches that I promise I won't ever make. 

But that doesn't mean it isn't breathtaking and loverly.  

Happy Thursday!  or Little Friday as Channon used to say!

That is a funny picture of your sister's dog! I know Irish Setters are goofy and now I'm wondering if it's all Setters or just the Irish and Gordons? They are really beautiful dogs too. I'll be interested to see your arm-knit cowl!

I also enjoyed the cute doggie face and nose under the blanket. Adorable. My little Cairn went in to the groomer and came home with a super shaggy untrimmed tail. Makes him look like the end of a Shi Tsu! Enjoy your weekend. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

I had no idea Gordon Setter's were goofy, he is a cutie that is for sure. My Max turns 11 in two days!
Wah!,

I really love that goofy face!! And I really love your cotton yarn. I like to knit with cotton. May last three sweater knits have been cotton. It's drapey, soft and I even love the way it grows!

Yeah, I won't be making Tsuru ever, either!
Julie's is our new favorite breakfast place here. You must try the cherry crepes. They are truly divine!

Ha! You went from one extreme to the other, didn't you. Lacey floss to the biggy cotton, and I don't blame you. No way would I try that pretty shawl. I am still doing miles of stockinette for my GD and can't imagine doing something larger. Hope you had a great day! Can't wait to hear about the arm knitting!!!

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 ha...

This is a call for knitters to knit a baby blanket no bigger than a cookie sheet. Blankets will be distributed in the NICU where I work. We just don't get many blankets. We need them. Traditional baby colors will do, but we'd love you to branch out a bit. Use up those leftovers if you wish. You could win a lovely prize. All who send a blanket by November 1st, ALL SAINTS DAY, you angels you, will be entered in the drawing. Here are the rules: Blanket must be made of yarn which is washable. Sorry, Hospital rules. It cannot be bigger than a cookie sheet. Smaller is welcome also. That's it. Those are the rules. I'll post the prize by next week. Mail a blanket to me Kathy B if you need my snail mail address,email me at Harpnut@gmail.com

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...
