Without Permission

Here I am breaking a cardinal rule.....posting a picture on the blog when I was sort of, kind of, jokingly?, told not to. Here is Cara's boyfriend, (there I didnt say he was my son) knitting the Christmas gift scarf. By now, the scarf is easily 14 inches long or so. The yarns he choose would never have been my guess for such a pretty outcome. He's using a kettle dyed brown with a handpaint sock yarn in JETTY. JETTY was a prize yarn from this year in fingering weight, by Spindlecatstudio.etsy.com. I'd describe it as a blend of light grey/blues and yellows. The mix is magical.

In the other shots I took, you can clearly see the clicker for the TV at the ready for channel changing. I suspect tonight the knitting will be set aside as Cara's boyfriend is playing in the high school Battle of the Bands. Well, I can't say he's got his priorities straight yet, but afterall he's young.

What a great scarf. I love that intent look on his face too. Good for him!! I bet he'll rock in the Battle of the Bands just as much as he rocks at knitting!

I was thinking the same thing Vicki wrote. Concentration and determination in those eyes...Cara's lucky to have him for a boyfriend.

I love it. My son wanted to learn to knit. The first thing he made was a bag for his favorite cousin. Cara is a lucky girl.

My son knits too. He made a scarf in pink for his taxi driver's birthday. With 8 mm needles. She was so proud - and lover of pink shades. LOL! I'll share that story one day :-D

Your son is doing very well 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...
