Black and White Movies

By -


I was in another great swap of Lynne's from Iwasknittogetherinmymotherswomb blog. My partner was Vicki from Knitorious. The theme was movies and here is what I sent her. Black and Whites. THere was a hint a few posts ago, if anyone caught it. Al thought of the theme for me! (thanks Al) I had to look hard for Black and White cookies, for all of you Seinfeld fans. A good Jewish Bakery/Deli, Max and Benny's, came through for me. Vicki has a crush on Greogory Peck so I made her some kitchen magnets. The alpaca black and white yarn was sooooo soft. I hope to see what she knits up with the yarn.

This makes Day 6 of Sister Vest ONLY knitting.

I wish I liked the yarn, wouldn't that make a big difference? I have so many things I want to knit right now. I'm not casting on one other thing until this vest is knitted. I have 13 inches knitted up. Foot excuse to knit has been a big help here. Foot's fine by the way. I wonder if I can really only knit this one WIP. My Chirstmas Lornas Laces socks yarn is following me around the house, tempting me, begging me, calling me.....

Knitting under pressure......ewww.

I am so glad I am not the only one that hears yarn talking to them.

What a great package. The Alpaca looks yummy, and I have knit with the Classic Elite Desert, it knits up nicely.

Fabulous package! I can't wait to see all the good ideas people came up with for this one. Knitting under pressure is no fun if you don't really like the project. Of course, if you like the project, pressure is a wonderful excuse to ignore everything else!

wonderful package!! You are so creativewith your package theme and contents. Good luck with the sister vest. I find it hard to stick to one big project and knit nothing else... can't wait to see photos of the vest, though.

 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...
