A Sweet little post

By -


I'm calling Al's Koigu fingerless the Frango Mint Fingerless gloves. Marshall Field's in Chicago makes Frango Mints. There is another store that bought Marshall Field's out and we are a collectively sad Chicago now, awaiting the changes to come. The mints are brown and green like these two koigu colors blended.

The next sweet thing: good'n plenty candies. Well, not quite, but if you go to www.KnitandPlenty.com you will see a nice array of Knitting nice to have's. There is a Knitting Needle Pocket inventory amongst other great things. Love my Knit and Plenty's.

The next sweet thing: Lynn from our Knitting Group sent me the nicest comment the other day. Lynn it is a priveledge to know you look to this little blog for some sunshine. I couldn't be happier about your kind thoughts.

This is post number 474 for the blog. I think a 500th post contest is in order!

Love those fingerless mitts. Anything that reminds us of mints has got to be good!! Aren't Jodi's kits great? I'm proud to say I got to meet her in person at a Saturday morning knit-together. I hope you know your blog brings us all sunshine - it's always great to see your posts come across on Bloglines!! I'm just about ready to get started on your button too - any thoughts?? I'm brainstorming too. :)

Not only do the fingerless gloves remind us of Frango mints, they have no calories too!

I think all of your blog readers should leave you a comment on the 500th post and see just how high a number you can collect. Any takers ?

Soory I couldn't make tonight's group. This is a way to keep up with what you have been up too and that is always fun.

Kathy - YEAH! I'm so glad you bought Jodi's kit. She's part of SNL and is so creative. I can hardly wait to read your 500th post. Happy knitting.

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...
