Movie Themes and Log Cabin Lessons

By -
As the Baroness would say: Somewhere out there is a Hobo Bag that will never be a baby blanket. Next spring I'll line it and finish it and it will be a cute Hobo bag for the summer.

The fun ones at Three Bags Full held a little contest to see what we could make out of the bumpy log cabin I knit up in Fixation. The Hobo Bag was the winner. Other suggestions included a hat, a pillow, a pregnant woman's apron, a Challah cover or a toilet paper cover.

Adrianna says the next thing we know Vogue will be showing log cabin Hobo bags and we'll all say we saw it here first.

Lynne's having another swap contest. My partner is Vicki From Knitorious. The theme is movies. So if you need more quotes from the Sound Of Music go to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059742/quotes

This is so cute! A pretty rainbow of colors. It will make a cute hobo bag (definitely the start of a new trend!) It would also make a lovely seat cushion cover for the wicker chair in your photo... :)

 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...
