Breezy Cables Spring Interweave

By -


Al is almost finished with the back of her Breezy Cables sweater. She worked on it Up North and it seemed a perfect thing for the pier picture.

No cables for me. My mind is seeking calm so the garter stitch based Swing Jacket is perfect for me right now. I like how garter gives a strong not stretchy look to this garment.

I am working on a simple contest for my 500th post. The prizes will reflect 500 of course, in some manner. Leave me a comment that includes the words five and hundred in some way, and you are in. Prizes will be shown in tomorrows post. Any comment between now and the 500th post (this is post 495) with those words in it, is an entry! C'mon lurkers....I hope you are out there!
Please leave me your email or blog so I can thank you for your comment.

I still haven't watched the ER tape you very kindly sent me about a HUNDRED days ago -- we got a new DVD/VCR combo about FIVE weeks ago but it hasn't been hooked up yet.

Are you going to want the videotape back? Will I be seeing you at Stitches Midwest? Does this count as a contest entry?

*edited to actually follow the instructions and use the written out word "hundred" instead of just the number:)*
FIVE of us were at GROUP tonight - we really missed you, but you may have lucked out since the heat was broken at the Borders Cafe and it felt like it was at least one HUNDRED degrees!

I love cables and that sweater is going to be gorgeous. Looks like Al had to use that cable needle about five hundred times (what with all those twists).

Wow, that sweater is going to be beautiful. It's a HUNDRED times harder than anything I've ever knit. Heck, it would take me FIVE years to knit a sweater like that. :)

I certainly can relate to Karen's comment! This is just lovely, almost makes me want to do a nice, big cabling project - maybe this winter.

[…] On the substantive side, a few legislators got to ask the cable people serious questions. Points for substance go to Garrison (D-Marietta), Stewart (R-Athens), Okey (D-Carrollton), Barrett (D-Amherst), and Foley and Williams (D-Cleveland). […]

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...
