April showers bring .....knitting pals

By -


Last night as the storms approached our area north of Chicago, Rosalyn climbed on my lap. Radar snuggled next to me. There was barely room to knit! I actually love when they cuddle in, but I feel guilty getting up for anything.

The little Knitpicks Paper Doll sockyarn is so sweet as it knits up. I was really ready to leave the Earthtones of my ribbed shell.

I am inspired by Macaronimonologues.blogspot.com. Have I mentioned it before? The blogger is a fine needleworker. Her last post is rather disgusting to look at, however. She shows a tree from a Botanic garden that makes my skin crawl. When she shows her needlework, however, it is always whimsical.

I am working on a needlework/yarn project currently when I am not sock knitting. Macaroni gave me the idea! Hope to show you soon.

How cuddly! Guess there's plenty of cat hair in that knitting. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I've been thinking about pulling out some cross stitch, myself.

What beautiful little kitties. What's a little kitty fur amongst all the yarn projects!!! Just makes them extra-special. :)

Aww! They look so comfy! I'd feel guilty moving, too. They must keep YOU nice & warm as well! The white one reminds me of my grandmother's cat (long deceased) "Snowball", except she was so shy that we rarely saw more than a far glimpse of her when we visited - she always hid when company came.

Of course, then I had to go see the "disgusting" post, to see what it was all about (aren't we humans odd creatures?). I had to do a search, but I found it, here:

The tree was unique, and certainly something for a haunted house or sadist/masochist's yard! (What a tree to see on Halloween, or "...a dark and stormy night..."!) I didn't really find it disgusting, though, but more facinating. Looks kind of like a rosebush stem grown wild! (I'd love to see the roses if it were! Imagine how beautiful they'd look!)

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...
