Cha cha cha Changes...

Al frogged her entire sock for it's trash talking gusset. Wow. This is the new one. She's using some STR and a pattern from Knit Night Socks by all the knitters at Mountain Colors. I believe she is making Diana's Simple Lace Cuff. Al says she knits faster with lace or cables because she is more interested in her knitting.

What follows is non-knitting content......
This is Day 1 of my trying not to be a Cub Fan anymore. This needs no explanation, sadly. The flag, the shirts...anyone want them?

I awoke to the radio contest giving away Cubs tickets this morning. Must change station.

It is brisk this morning and I habitually reached for the tattered Cub sweatshirt...
stopped myself.

Coffee chatter around the kitchen table was mostly Baby Bulls discussion.

Chose Yankee mug for this mornings coffee.

Before yesterday's game even started I took the Cub flag down from the front porch. (Sox fan neighbor emailed me, said they noticed. Hint of compassion in their email.)

So goes Day 1. I'm not giving up baseball. Just the team I was born and raised with. The time has come. Mid-life carries a certain responsibility with it.

Encourage me. For there is no Joy in Mudville.....

As a Cubs fan I cannot condone your behaviour.
Maybe you just need a giant foam Cubs paw? ;)

I'm sorry, I've missed the Cubs controversy. I guess I do need an explanation. As a child raised within the Red Sox nation, I'm curious what's caused you to revoke your citizenship. (As you know, within RSN there are no other teams, and as someone who doesn't even watch the Sox regularly, I have no idea what the Cubs are up to....)

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...
