Snow Snow Snow...Soft as Cotton

By -
I awoke to a snow covered landscape.
This is my window view. 
Perfection.....

I am going to sing the praises of cotton round here.
I love how cotton feels on my skin. 
It doesn't pill much.
Now I wouldnt go knitting a sweater in it, but for cowls, for scarves, for the like, it is the BEST to me. 

I've seen the cotton fields in Virginia and I love them. 

 I remember being put in dresses and tights as a child and feeling like I would crawl out of my skin. 
Everything itched. 
I wore the clothes without complaint but they came off the second it was allowed. 
 No wonder I don't like to dress up. 

I love comfort.
I love cotton!

Lovely shot, Iris. Cotton has great breathable fibers. I have this J'adore sweater I found at Target for only $29.99 and it keeps me warm but doesn't make me feel too hot.

More snow? Wow......I'd be jingle belling all over the place if we even got a flake. We've had non stop rain since Thanksgiving but I don't mind. Alexa is playing the most beautiful holiday music and that's all I need!

Apparently we have snow falling today in Spokane too, but since I'm at our daughters house in Washington DC, we're having rain, rain, rain. I love cotton too. I love the feel of the softness in my hands While I'm knitting it. Enjoy your snow!
Blessings, Betsy

I am right there with you. Give me cotton or cotton blend and I'm happy. Except for socks. WOOL socks are pretty good too.

Cotton is great for warm weather, but for winter give me wool or wool blends for winter.

Hard to picture the snow scene for me right now but I can admire the visual beauty.
I like to spin cotton and knit with it but nothing will beat knitting and wearing a good wool for me! Thank goodness for choices!

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.
