The sock knitting goes on

By -


I was up in the wee hours the other night
Rummaging round the knit bag sans light
I came upon two cuffs, knitted up fine,
STR no less, they were just divine.

My knit heart began racing,
Maybe Cara WOULD see,
a pair of warm socks sitting under tree.

I took out some chocolate sent to us all
and I started to taste some, the round and the small.
The wrappers would indicate progress you know,
I finally have some sock success to show.

The last sock is my knitting for most of today
Al took the chocolates,she put them away,
I hope I can manage on soynuts alone,
please finish the last sentence, take this one home..........

I love the poem! And I hope that the soynuts provided enough sustenance. Somehow it's just not the same as chocolate, though. The socks look great -- send some of the mojo this way :)

"For my overindulgence I must now atone." Love the socks, and they go so nicely with the chocolates!

Doesn't Al know...everything is better with chocolate. Why is your sock inside out? Love Al's hats in the previous post...they are beautiful!

Chocolate is actually a vegetable, really. Now add the dairy products it takes to make it and if there are fruit or nuts, stop and think, it has almost all of the food groups in it ! So, of course they are good for you and healthy too ! Oreo's have all the food groups too. See, haven't I made you feel so much better? Ever think Al took them away for personal use perhaps?

Ah, the deadly Christmas chocolates! There have been boxes of these decadent goodies floating around my home and office as well... But, they can be great incentive if used properly, as you were doing! One treat for every (fill in # - 1, 5, 10, etc.) rows(or rounds, stitches, pattern repeats) knit, etc... Just make sure the incentives don't run out before you are finished, LOL!

 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...
