Happy Feet

By Irisheyes Lynn -
We celebrated Christmas with my brothers and their families on New Year's Eve this year because of trip to Disney World. Thank goodness we did, because it gave me an extra week to finish all the gift socks. My nieces were all excited to get socks, even the 2 little ones. Their mom told me that whenever they get cold they put on the socks I knit for their birthdays 2 years ago. It's always nice to know that our hand-knit gifts are appreciated, isn't it?

Now that I am done with gift knitting, I'm trying to decide what to knit next. Suddenly, it seems like I have lots of yarn waiting to be knit up. I'm almost done with the back of the Peace Fleece cardigan. Then I have some pretty Debbie Bliss alpaca silk that is trying to decide what it wants to be. Then there is some elann wool that will become the Ribby Cardi . But, guess what I have an urge to cast on today? Socks! You would think after all my whining about the Christmas sock knitting that socks would be the furthest things from my mind. But they're calling to me.....will I be able to resist?

First of all, my favorite socks are the ones the little cutie with the silky santa outfit is wearing. Great colors. I am so glad you WANT to knit socks now. Time for ultimate January knitting.....aka No pressure knitting.

Second the Ribby is so cute! I had No idea you'd be able to put in zippers for me. How wonderful.

 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...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
