What have you lost????

By -


I've lost a pair of fingerless gloves! Imagine Charlie Brown with a buuble that says "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" in frustration. We've already back tracked and checked the diner where I took them off to eat. Have you lost a wonderful hand knit?????

The sister vest wouldn't even co-operate with the final photo session. The color is most true in this shot. It is going in the mail to my sister by the weekend. Good riddens! For all the complaining I've done, I'll bet you were expecting some intricate cableknit. .....The finisher, Julie, at 3 Bags Full did a fine job putting in the zipper.

When said sister was in for Thanksgiving and saw another pair of my fingerless gloves she fussed over them. So much so, that I told her to take them.
I'd rather her have them, knowing she liked the yarn and thumb, rather than adding another to my TO DO list. I'll knit myself another when my list is not so long right now.......and it won't be involve any pressure that way. Do you know what I mean?

Gorgeous vest!! Sorry about your lost mitts. I haven't misplaced any hand-knits yet - but I know I'll be heartbroken when I do.

No lost hand-knits here (knocking on wood). I do hope you find them. The vest looks great! And I'm all for no pressure knitting.

So sorry to hear about your lost mitts. I lost my favorite pair a while ago - last season. I was quite upset, even though they weren't perfect, because I love the colorway. Then they popped up again a few weeks ago, in the pockets of a jacket I hadn't worn in ages! (I had been sure they were gone forever.) I hope you have the same good luck, anmd they turn up soon!

The vest looks beautiful, and the zipper is nicely done! I like the earthy colors. I am sure your sister will be very happy!

Oh,no! Sorry to hear about the lost mitts. My lost handknit was last fall (right after I started knitting, actually). I'd made my first pair of mittens ever for my 3 yr. old son, complete with I-cord to connect them. We wore them out **the first day** and managed to lose them at Target! No idea why they were out of the jacket in the first place...I didn't realize they were missing for a few days and that's when I realized where we must have left them. :( Oh, so sad. I feel for you! --hugs--

The vest turned out so well! I am very sad about your lost mitts - I have lost a single hand-knit sock (which, in my opinion is far more aggravating than losing a pair of something).

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...
