Storms and Radar.......Both good blues

By -




Kim, has been helping me learn to post better. I hope I have been successful this time. Hang in there please, if not. The last time I tried this, a scrabble of confusing marks and scary runtogethers was all that came out. So, I try try again.

There is yarn in the Radar image. I hope to cast on the last front of my sister's vest tonight. I learned this: I don't like to knit if I don't like the yarn. It is hard to knit it for her lovingly when all I can think is WHY did she pick this?
I think she picked it because it reminds us both subliminally of our mom's family room sofa in the 70s.

The storm clouds were just plain fun the other night. I have a great view now from the backporch and it allows for just such viewing. Bluetoned greys are one of my favorite colors. If I dyed yarn, (please God don't let me start doing that too, DH would leave me) I would name bluetoned grey yarn that I made: Weatherwatch....

Finally Radar slept in that very position for hours after the shot was taken. He is such a poser. I think he was a nude model in his past life as a human. Every pose he strikes is camera worthy. He has always been this way.....does your pet pose?

Wow - that almost looks like a ginormous funnel cloud. Almost. Just need a little more Hollywood special FX and voila! Twister. I'm so glad it wasn't. I'd have worried it was your last post.

I don't have pets. Our boys have asthma. Amazing photo of the thunder cloud... I always have respect for thunder.

Re the camisole, I got a kit from nordicfiberarts.com. You do have to have the book, but it may be available from libraries. You may want to wait until you see me wearing it, maybe you won't like it as much when you see it on me :)

I'll make it easy for you - my real name is Bianca. So if you link using my real name, it is ok.

Breien is the dutch word for knitting, and Lansingerland is the town I live in, in The Netherlands - Lansingerland is merged out of 3 smaller towns since Jan 1st of this year.

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...
