Well, won't she be surprised that she is getting yarn this spring instead of flowers. I'll take the yarn too, Troy if you are reading this. I know you lurk.

Oh I am so relieved that blogger.com has corrected the posting issues. I was seriously becoming tense about the inability to post. I have planning the guest bloggers these days...especially when you play along.

Last night I made a stash yarn kercheif. It is darling. Start to finish in about 2 hours or more of knitting. I don't know of anyone who wears a kerchief right now, so I think I'll give it away and start a trend....

The new Vogue is Vogue. Fun to read, but made for those models to wear. Odds are I am not going to grow taller or become anorexic, so if I do find something I love, I'll be making it for someone else. Nothing wrong with that!

I've added this little line to the posts because I get a nonreply blah blah when I click on the commentor's name. MOST of you loyals I know, but if someone new drops in, I'd like to thank them for the comment. Thus far, I have no way to do so:

Please leave me your email or blog so I can thank you for your comment.

So are you going to show the "kerchief", or not? Curious readers want to know. :-)

I too would like to see this kerchief. You just might be on the cutting edge of things here.
I hope to be getting back to Group sometime soon. I have had probelms with my back and have missed seeing you.

Ok, it's a consensus! Let's see the scarf! :) I love seeing quick little projects - especially those "spur of the moment" inspirations people get when thinking about how to use up their stash!

Love your comments about Vogue! On top of those two, I'm not going to get any younger either :) My fingerless mitts are from a Knitty pattern, and a great way to see how it feels to work with Kidsilk Haze before diving into a larger project (you could decided to skip the beads, to make it simpler). My email is birdsong_s@hotmail.com. Have a great weekend.

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 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...
