My New Cast on and all that Jazz

By -
There's a new project in town.  This knit necklace is a shop pattern from my LYS.  I've cast on!  I'll share if it is a good pattern.  I'm crazy for it.  Wheeeeeeee.

I walked around the Studio looking for inspiration and just couldnt find any.  Plenty of knitters were in their classes and showing me their projects for the Studio blog.  

 Nothing was hitting me.  Nada.  Nope. Nothin.

 Then I spied with my little eye: this necklace.  

 Things continue at a crazy pants rate around here.  Boundaries!  Boudaries.  Great time to practice my boundaries. 
I cant' fix it all.  I'm not supposed to.  

 Have I mentioned that I love the Budlite Lime-a- ritas? 
There is a new country song I love: the title
YOU LOOK LIKE I NEED A DRINK.  

 How's it going by you?

Not much happening here - three stalled knitting projects and trying to manage fabric scraps.

I saw the knit necklace in Vegas last spring: it's cute. Happy knitting.

All I do is cast on and put things in bags and hope the knitting fairies come and finish them so I can cast on for more stuff!

Crazy pants rate describes my life lately, to a tee! AND it's June already. Where is the year going--I haven't even started Christmas. I love the knitted necklace. It would be a great Christmas gift! Thanks for the great idea.

I look forward to the necklace you make. I had to get up early to take my daughter and two GDs to the airport. Now back to normal life.. as normal as it gets around here anyway. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

Big ch-ch-ch-changes coming here and while it is exciting, it is also a bit scary.

Hope you enjoy knitting the necklace. Looks cute.

What a fun pattern! I'm looking forward to seeing what yours looks like. My life has been fairly boring lately. Just knitting and crocheting while waiting for my silly head to heal. Hope things go well for you.
Blessings,
Betsy

I love that i-cord necklace. I hope it's a good pattern.
I never lack for inspiration on what to knit -- or bead, or draw. That's why I always have an insane number of projects going.
And I must check out that song. What a great title!

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.
