The tiger lilies are generations old. Yet, they still come back and bloom. I caught this shot at dusk and so it is blurred. I didn't want to use a flash. So don't adjust your screen or put on your glasses.....it's just blurred that's all.
My current WIP : Sally's Slippers by Renate Haeckler. Free on Ravelry
Sally's Slippers have this cute top and interesting geometric construction. I have to admit I was muddled with math as I tried to figure out how to make my size.
I am so with on that mouth thing. I've wished many times recently that I had just kept it shut.

Oh my! Use the duct tape. A pin sounds way too painful! LOL
I'm finally learning that I don't have to have an opinion on EVERYTHING! Or, if I do.....not everybody needs to hear about it. But, boy ---------sometimes it is just HARD to keep my mouth shut!
Maybe I need some duct tape too. I think I should buy some of that FANCY duct tape they have at the craft store.
I love the lily* ; the sunset is a good match! I have the pattern to knit these slippers, too, but never made them. However, I did knit quite a few pairs of big Lopi yarn slippers and felted them-they turned out okay! Have fun with your knitting/felting project-they will fit someone is right!
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 .
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.

May I borrow your roll of duct tape?

*I just posted a pic of my tiger lily!
Gauge + math = issues for almost every knitter everywhere.
