No server no picture boo hoo

Please leave me your email or blog so I can thank you for your comment.

I have a nice image to post today and the blog is on the blitz. Earlier today the cable network/wireless provider was out of sorts. Hmmmmmm. Is there a sunstorm? Will we get to see the Northern Lights or something great because of this? That would be so fun. Have any of you seen the Northern lights? Where? There is a pattern in one of the current knit mags, I believe it may be Interweave, and the sweater is called Northern Lights. I think I want some yarn colorway called northern lights.


On a more balanced note, I left my Vogue in the doctors office waiting room, just over 2 weeks ago. Returned for a visit today, and there she was! Waiting for me to scoop her up and take her back. I proved to my driver, caretaker extraordinaree, husband that it was indeed ours. Al and I usually write all over them. Comments, like:

Like the cable, would prefer it on a purse.
or
If she looks heavy in this WHY would I want to knit it for me?
or
I could buy something that looks just like that.
or
I must find this yarn
or
Put this on the book list for the holidays
or
show this to nursing instructor. (Interweaves history lesson with nurses
watching over patients knitting as therapy.)

Al and I read the periodicals separately and communicate this way. She always picks the hard things. She never, looks at the ads! I always do!

hope the cyberplanets align themselves sooon so I can show you a fun post.

I have the Northern Lights colors in both Bearfoot and Cherry Tree Hill... Love them both, but have not knit them up into socks yet. Wonder if we have the same internet provider, we have the sunstorms ( comcast calls them sunspot interferences though) here too. Can't wait to see the pictures

Sorry you are having troubles. I just have to brighten your day with this: I've just spent the last (gulp!) hour and a half reading your blog. I started with the oldest and came forward. I think I stopped with December 2005. Gotta tell you, I'm hooked! Wonderful. I'm not a "new" knitter, but one who can't afford expensive yarns. That limits a person! But now I see that perhaps I could indulge in expensive yarns if I'd venture into the world of Sock Making. Haven't a clue how to do DPN's or read complicated directions. Any suggestion to what pattern to use for a person's very first sock? Keep on blogging...this is a wonderful, funny, inspiring place to spend time (wish I could knit and read at the same time tho!)

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...
