What I did on my summer vacation:


Day one:


Finally had a saturday morning free to go to the Farmers' Market Cheese table. We Illinois suburbans stand in long lines for this Cheese table. First item: cheese curds......fresh, squeaky cheese curds....


Next: Went to LYS. Felt instantly better about my log cabin knit. I'm not calling it a blanket anymore.......

Joan from NY has such a great idea for my blunder......I'm going to name it aftah huh. I can listen to this woman talk all day. My ears love what it hears as an accent. I do think I was a mynah bird or parrot once...

I signed up for a lesson with Joan next week.
I am very careful about signing up for lessons.

I can tell that I can think like this lady. I can tell that I will enjoy the lesson, and probably laugh while learning. She is going to teach me how to knit the left front and right front of my sister's vest at the same time. Al says I can think Joan's way and it will be a good fit. (Not just b/c Al won't enable me by rewriting the pattern long hand for me. .....or WAIT A MINUTE!.....just kidding.


Then I looked at some of my favorite sites: link. I don't sew but I love aprons:http://angrychicken.typepad.com/tieoneon/


Finally, I'm NOT doing homework on my summer vacation. Stashology Stitches Class says: No homework! Bring stash samples on hand and stash confessions. My kind of summer school.

Strange that you should get this, since you have the word verification on. The only time I got any kind of spam it was after I turned that off for a few days. I turned it right back on!
Your log cabin blanket is great, I love the colors, so soft and pretty!

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...
