Peaceful Palms

By -


Nona's Peaceful Palm initiative did motivate me. This is the third pair of fingerless gloves I've made this winter. It's a version of Hooray For Me Gloves by Marnie MacLean. These were made for my friend Helen.

I was ever inspired by my friends, (nurses) at a baby shower last night. Two of the most precious sweaters I have ever seen were given as gifts to the new babygirl. Lynn, irisheyes Lynn, made one, and Diane made the other. I wish I had brought my camera.

The 2 new mom's of December that I know and love, are saying the same thing: "It's so saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad when he/she cries." Ah, hormones and lack of sleep. Now that's sad! Wishing them some peace and 40 winks.

Hooray for You . . . those gloves are awesome!!! The colors are fabulous and you do such wonderful work. Those multi-color / patterned projects still intimidate me quite a bit. I know Helen will love them. I bet those baby sweaters your friends gave were adorable - I love little baby clothes!

I love your yarn choice for these gloves! What yarn did you use? I'm sure MArnie would love to see them also.

I have made 2 pairs of the Hooray for Me gloves this winter also - the pattern is an easy one and they work up so quickly.

Your friend is a lucky gal!

 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...
