Al's Nashua top

By -


This is Al in her Nashua top. She says it is from Nashua Book #4. The color is a green(really Kathy B? we didnt' notice) in Ecology Cotton. Al was inspired by a Nashua company knit of the same, that hangs in my LYS.

This is day number 4 of not being a Cub fan. Friends at work fear I'll fall off the wagon...
as SO many do-
but so far I'm steadfast. My neighbor Mary was in NY and bought me a sweet Yankee cap to encourage me. Yes, this is neighbor Mary who modeled the crochet shawl a ways back. Their family loves the White Sox, hence the show of support.

All I can say to Donna Boucher,
is Apollo Anton Ono all the way!

There has been a kind reminder (from ahem Diane the lurker) that we haven't had a guest blogger lately....
stay tuned. I promise it won't be cicadas.

I have that book to make that top! I think I am going to use the Knitpicks Cotlin for mine though. I am so happy to see that it looks great with a tank!

It's such a pretty top, and in a pretty shade of green too!

Beautiful top! I just finished the same pattern myself. I like it more and more as I keep trying it on. Hopefully I will actually wear it one of these days. =)

Gorgeous sweater, you sassy girl!!!

I will agree with you that Apolo is the best dancer.
I don't know what the judges were talking about last night.

But, I have a crush on Joey and I'm afraid I would crush Apolo on the dance floor.

Who will win?

Hi Kathy,
Nice to "meet" you! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I would LOVE to see your painting of a cemetary. That gives me an idea... As I knit my sweater, (not many exciting posts about THAT) I might post some photos of cemetaries from foreign contries that we have visited. Hmmm - an idea. Hope no one would think it morbid!!

I agree - Apollo is the best!!

 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...
