Diane the Lurkers Violet Baby Hat

By -


I work with Diane the lurker. She is a fine knitter. She is always interested in what our little work knit group is doing. She made the twins, who threatened to deliver over the weekend, two of these Violet hats. They have darling ear flaps. She picked up for the flaps, then did an i-cord on each, and put the violet on one tie and the leaf on the other. The little group of violets on the top are so darling.

I know there two camps: those who comment and those who lurk. I am glad to know there are wonderful lurkers out there like Diane. (and Great Husband and some ladies from 3 Bags) Sometimes I can lure a lurker with a contest.....Mine starts tomorrow with my 700th post.

Love the hat. I'm not a lurker - but I never enter contests...so you won't be getting me there! Go figure....I never enter, cause I never win.... Something is wrong with that logic, isn't it??

Love the road trip photos and post. I need to check out The Yarnery next time we go to the Twin Cities. I love road trips!!

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...
