Jeff at Starbucks Plays along...Day 2

By -


Today's blog helper is Jeff from Starbucks. He was only too happy to assist with the blog shot today. He OFFERED to hold the sock, I swear! This is too easy folks. I'll keep going on asking folks to be in my knitblog posts until someone breaks the spell. Today is Day #2. (today shouldn't count...he offered!)

This little cable sock is really fun for me to knit. I now have to wait for another skein of the yellow yarn to work the second.

Has anyone purchased and use the knit stone from Knitpicks? I am tempted to purchase one for the fuzzies on my felted bag. Reviews anyone?

How cool is Jeff? Love your blog pics!!! I was just looking at the knit stone in the catalog. Interesting, huh? I'll have to check back and see if anyone gives you a review.

I think it'd be great to see how long you could go, getting people to hold things for you to take pictures. :)

I particularly like how he holds the sock so we can see it in all its knitted glory.

That is a really cute photo. Also, it may be something in the air, but I was just looking around online for yellow sock yarn...Maybe it's the desire for spring? What yellow are you using? So pretty....

Bought the sweater stone 3 years ago - purchased elsewhere. I use on my felted items - bags, mittens and clogs. Works great.

Oh Kath, too funny! Maybe with the warm weather you should try the Oberweiss next.... {grin - devil's advocate anyone?} Oberweiss is an Ice Cream shop.

 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...
