March madness

By -


You have to understand how incredibly ugly it is in the Chicago area right now. Some bloggers have been busy sharing photos of their lovely backyards lately....not this one. I have in my own March madness, resorted to taking photos for the blog in my grocery store. Al completely disassociated herself from me in aisle 6.

Doesn't that little bunny look right at the camera lens? I swear he winked. He kind of steals the thunder from Al's Waterlilly from the latest Interweave. She is knitting it in Collinette Giotto. She wants you to know that her provisional cast-on is looking bad, but she'll get back to that. She also is making the top much shorter due to her not being as tall as the model. I know just looking at the yarn is like the promise of Spring for me.

My sister Deb, sent me the skinny on a new yarn shop opening near Sandwich Illinois. It is opening in March and called estersplacefibers.com. I like the Sandwich antiques fair, so maybe I can talk Lynn and Maureen into a fieldtrip. This is going to be difficult with our weekend schedules, but maybe if we plan for , oh September or so, we'll get there.

I'm beginning to feel like a sleuth snapping photos for this blog.....hmmmm, how shall I entertain you tomorrow? Any ideas? Any dares?

Hmm, a dare for tomorrow . . . I'll have to think on that one!! Today is pretty hard to top though - all the flowers are so pretty. Spring must be coming for sure.

 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...
