This is Spring

By -


Well, in reality, this is yarn. But, round these here parts in Chicago, we are living in grey and white for yet another day. Therefore, I look to this PAPERDOLL colorway from Knitpicks for a visual happy. I think it will be on the sock needles as soon as I finish the sleeveless shell. The back is finished for the second time. Can I finish the front today? Aside from unforeseen ROADBLOCKS (yes the Amazing Race lingo has permeated my mind) I think I can.

Pat K. (Pumpkin knitter blog) wanted to know about the quilt in the baby bolero backround......JC PENNEY! I hope you aren't too disappointed in me Pat. The frugal Hungarian can enjoy it as if it were an heirloom, and then let my dog use it in the back seat of the car when it is wearing out. My other quilt fakes, have always made the back seat of my car look so nice compared to manufactured carseat covers for pets. Huck loves a good blanket too!

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

That is a gorgeous colourway - it really reminds me of spring (which rumour has it is about to start in London!). Can't wait to see the finished socks.

Beautiful yarn, and I really like the little bolero jacket, too.

I just love everything about Spring!

The colors, the smells, the returning birds and flowers...

Just wish it came a little quicker...or is the waiting part of its charm?

Well, I am also ready for spring - and it has been here for a couple of days! We have had clear blue skies and temps in the 60's the past few days here in the northern NYC burbs. I am loving every minute of it, though I expect we'll have some more cold days before it's here to stay!

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

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...
