A Bad day to be Pluto and other knitting thoughts

By -


Random thoughts while knitting today:

Why do I love making socks?

Is the mail here yet and is there anything I've ordered arriving? (no, there wasn't)

I have to get Elizabeth's birthday gift in the mail tomorrow. I'll be the only auntie who is late this year.... I should have knit her something.

I'm no Mason-Dixon woman, but I did manage to clean a counter today and throw a garbage bags' worth of true junk out. (I hope husband sees this productive act for what it is....an interruption in my knitting time)

How come the school bus never came on time the first week for MY kids? It is coming right as rain already for the little ones and it is only day 2.

What do I want to give my folks for their 53rd wedding anniversary next week? Knitted Dishcloths, that's the gift for 53 right?

I should really find a guest blogger soon. Hmmmmmm, I wish they had brought my knitting to the Lincoln Memorial in Springfield, Abe would be a wonderful guest blogger. Al and Troy thought of it....too late.

I should unsubscribe to all the knitting stores memos. It just feeds the urge to buy more yarn.

I should buy more yarn.

It is a bad day to be Pluto. My Very Educated Mother Just Sent Us Nine .....
nine what? That fun little ditty won't be taught anymore. Pluto was Pies, the best ending to that little ditty. Just sent us nine zena's? That just doesn't work.

maybe they'll change it to Mobius, Velvet Touch, Einstien Coat, Mohair, Jaeger, Stitches, Unravel...

I was wondering about that myself -- it was "My very enormous mother just sat upon nine porcupines" where I grew up. Yours is more polite, but mine is more fun!

Wow, the things you learn on knitting blog. I never knew those little ditties either.

You should definitely buy more yarn, it makes me feel less guilty ;)

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...
