I Take IT ALL BACK!

By -


Al calls this her shawl that only a mother could love. 
I think it will look lovely on her. 
I'm not a fan of asymmetry. 
I think she actually liked the knitting part of  it .
Isnt it interesting that you can like it while you knit it and then not like it after ? 
She's ready for a new knit up. 

Can i just say the Cubs are K I L L I N G me?
I expect us to win it all
at once.
Sigh
I love Buster Posey. 
I can't love him this week though.
(for the non baseball knitters: Buster is on the other team the Cubs are trying to beat) 

gocubsgo.....
UPDATE!!

I WENT TO BED
I COULDN"T TAKE IT....
IT was too much to have that awful feeling yet again..

AND THEY CAME B ACK AND WON!!!
GO CUBBIES!!!!!
Happy NEW DAY

It's true that good knits don't always end up being good garments. I always enjoy knitting sweaters and then hate wearing them because of one reason or another. That is a pretty shawl. I've got my favorite out and have put it to good use these last few chilly nights.

Maybe Al will change her mind about the shawl when she wears it; a good knit is not always a good FO, we all know it! Oh, well.

Yes, it is possibly to live the process but not the end result - been there many times in numerous crafts.

Tell Al to put the shawl in the gift box, and she'll find someone who loves it.

Al's shawl is beautiful. We all have projects that make us wonder why we started them in the first place. Actually, I have a bunch of them. My favorite shawl has a big hole in it where I dropped stitches and had to tie them off later. The shawl is soft, warm and big so I'm not going to give it up. I love it! Someone will love Al's shawl too!

I know what you mean about the Cubs. I told Bill I think I will go to bed, cover my head and not come out until after the World Series and the election are over. Then I can learn to live with the results.

Glad your Cubbies are hanging in there! Al's scarf is pretty (BTW, I have the same blocking squares!); maybe it will grow on her? Or maybe she will gift it to you! It's getting to be shawl weather here, too. We have a wind warning for tomorrow.....

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.
