October mysteries......

By -


This is the month I reserve the right to blog about knitting with spooky unrelated images. Several bone chilling events have occurred here in the past few days.


A furry mouse was left in the living room, after the cats got it. I'd much rather find 'em dead than alive. Still, the body just laying there and all......ewwwww.

My camera, is on the fritz. This is very very scary for me. Unsure of the problem. Shakey at the thought of being without my blog essentials.

Feeling compelled to buy orange and black yarn........

hmmmmmmmmmm

Remember the dress I knit Kathy? I am working on a cardigan in the same length, using the same pattern, for the same lady, in black. Hope to finish it this month for sure...but it is a daytime knit as in the evening it is too dark to work with. Got your email today - pleasure is all mine :-) Today is no knitting for me... my shoulder hurts due to a mini surgery I had today.

Love, Bianca

I was looking at some orange and black sock yarn, I resisted the temptation though as I doubt I would get them finished by the end of the month.

Hope the camera is just being cranky and is not broken.

Mysterious things start happening in my house every October but the is due to the fact that DH is a big Halloween freak and goes all out decorating every year.

I'm currently knitting my daughter some black and orange socks (she's a Bengals fan). Our cats used to leave us little presents on the doorstep; moles, mice,birds...

And of course, your reference to giving blood is extra scarey this month!

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...
