Do birds prefer silk, wool or acrylic?

By -


I wish I could remember the knitblogger who posted about offering leftover yarns to the birds for nesting. It was a fun idea and I've decided to copy you. Now, I offered 3 yarns this morning: silk, wool and acrylic. Let's see what my local birds prefer. Consideing it is supposed to snow tonight, I'm betting on the wool.

Many of you share my love of dogs and cats. I am going to use a different groomer for Huck. Has anyone tried a mobile pet groomer? How do you find a good groomer?

Yes Knitting Betty it was you! I am glad you reminded me! How are your birds doing with your yarn?

You know, I can't tell if the birds have grabbed any of it. I'll certainly be watching out for nests around the neighborhood too see if they contain bright bits of yarn.

I have used a mobile pet groomer. It was easy to have them come and all but I found it to be more money. We found our current groomer by accident (we were walking by her shop with our standard poodle as she was coming out. She was crazy about him and showed us photos of her standard. We've been going to her for 7 years now.)but I did check her out with my vet. He'd heard nothing about her and I took that as a good sign. I found our previous groomer by asking people I saw walking their well groomer dogs. She was very good but not a poodle specialist so we switched.
Good Luck!

 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...
