Guest Blogger Firefighter Dan

By -


I had to promise Dan this would not be able to be used against him by fellow firefighters. None of the rest even knew I took the blog photo. There is a brotherhood of teasing that is relentless amongst firefighters. Dan, married to an actress who KNITS!!!! was quick to comply. His wife is in a Play in Chicago called, Kama Sutra. I'm sure she is great. I have to plug the play since he complied so nicely.

He is holding the sock I haven't finished from vacation this summer.
The sleeves I haven't finished are driving me mad, they're makin me crazy crazy!
The felted purse is coming along for those of you interested in that blog chapter. The felting fairy was kind to me again. Phew.

Lynne From I was KNit together in My Mother's womb was my colorswap this month. She also kindly coordinated the whole thing. Red/pink month. Her box to me came today. I refuse to open it until I get hers in the mail tomorrow. Despite Al's great attempts to justify opening it, I feel I mustn't until I've mailed hers tomorrow. She was great fun to hunt for goodies for. Thank God for garage sales and LYS.

Finally, Kelvin from down under, notified me that he has added me to his list of Blogs to Read. His blog lists are found at 212121blogs.blogspot.com. I'm very flattered.

Thank God the pain has ended. Cubs have made some changes. Here's to next year. Where have I heard THAT before?

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

Okay, Fireman Dan does look less than thrilled to be posing for a picture with knitting. But how cool that he agreed to do it anyway! I love your guest bloggers!!!

What a good guy! There are lots of firefighters around in my daily life and I doubt I could get a one to pose with Knitting.

Wow, you had a great swap pal! And what a nice guy, I am sure he would never hear the end of it if it were to get out. Can't wait to see that finished bag, it is always nice when the felting fairies are on our side.

Poor Dan, he has that "deer in the headlights" look. But how sweet of him to hold your sock and be guest blogger!

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...
