Magical Match

By -


Anyone who reads this blog will know I could not have planned for these socks to match. I'm was all smiles when I noticed how they'd knit up. I started with one skein, knit all the way through it, which took me midway through the second sock. Then I started the second skein. I think this is a knitting miracle. There is probably a mathematical or some other explanation for this. If there is, don't tell me. I want to believe it was a Christmas Lorna Lace miracle.

I am about half way through and although it wasn't easy to start with I am getting on quite well. The lady in our local craft shop has been very helpful. She actually GAVE me the four needles as they were different lengths!
Love the dog too... even though I am really a cat person! All the best. Merry 6.05pm UK time!

A miracle indeed! I love them. How to start on Ravelry? Well, one way is to go to the forums page and click on radar. This will show you each post to a group as it is sent--when you see something the interests you, go find the group and read some posts to see whether it's a community you'd like to join. Or type in the name of a yarn you like on the yarns page and then follow the links to see what people have made with it ... I just started by doing a lot of poking around. Enjoy! And "friend" me when you're online and have a minute ....

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...
