Zach complied. New hat for him made/designed by Al. I want him to remember that when he lived here, he had homemade bread for dinner, routinely AND could mention he wanted a new hat and have it knit up to his specifications in a night by his sister.

It is so cold in our house these days that we do wear our handknits include hats, and fingerless gloves much of the day. We haven't gotten to the Margie level yet. You know, Margie in Fargo wears her hats and wool sweaters to bed...and she's pregnant to boot. ( a time when most women are warm to begin with!)

I keep my less than proud knitting for just such cold days. I don't mind wearing a less than perfect handknit if I 'm staying in. Besides, I can't bear to think I wasted the money on something I'll never wear! Next post: This passion is costly. How I plan to keep the costs down this year......
Please leave me your email or blog so I can thank you for your comment.

I have worn handknit hats in the house, especially lately with the cold snap that has hit New England. I wore handknit socks to bed one night this week and, unfathomably, my feet were *too* hot!

Way to go Zach. Kudos to Al. OK... now that you're talking about the cold INSIDE the house, I can honestly say, I don't miss living in the midwest. I just miss the people. Brrrr. Cold.

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...
