Birthday Light up Needle Candles

By -


I had a wonderful birthday. The cake is a Red Velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, my favorite. The candles are my new light up tip needles.

My review of them: WOW they are bright. No rip off here. I had seen some needles at Stitches which are different. The entire shaft lights up. I thought I may have preferred them. After seeing how much light the needle tip style gives off, I am glad the family got me this brand. Radar, our deaf cat, seemed to think the light from the needles was a laser pen and was all worked up as I knit. Thankfully he chases the beam and not the source. That would have been a disaster.

I am enamored with Cabin Fever patterns now that I am completing my Swing Coat. Al gave me another pattern that I had my eye on at Stitches as well. It is a braided cardigan.

Next post: Charting class at Stitches, or How my Daughter had to tell me to behave in class.

Love the "candles" I wish they could figure out a way to put those lighted tips in a circular needle. Happy Birthday!
I started that swing jacket last year ... it has been very neglected.

 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...
