Rowan BIg Wool Mini Vest Fnished

It actually looks better than the picture. I swear it does. Someone asked me for the pattern at work today. I love it. I have to find a better shawl pin to use to close it. I don't want a button. Did I tell you that I forgot to put the buttonhole in?

A few things ......

AsKatKNits tells me she has a sister who is my sister's duplicate. I say, I believe it. Let's see her picture! It will be fun. Maybe there is something in our pasts we just didn't know about? Kat is also having a fun contest right now.

This is post number 747, and I don't fly. I am a wimp.

Finally today, I'd like to blame Emily of YarnMiracle for planting the idea that I buy a cookbook for little cakes. I've ordered it Emily.

I love the vest!! It looks awesome. Okay - you need to put in EZ's afterthought button hole :-)

I will work on getting a photo of my sister who is your sister's twin and post it on my blog.

Stay tuned!

Oh... and what contest am I having ???? :-)

You can make a crochet loop and the button will go thru that easily. Make whatever sized button you want to use.

The vest is lovely! The colorway is wonderful... I agree, a crochet loop would be easy, if you want to use a button or toggle closure. Shawl pins are pretty, too.

Yay (and my abject apologies all at the same time)! The chocolate pound cake is also very good (although not at all what I would call a pound cake - not dense enough) and the apple oatmeal muffins. I like your chunky sweater - you didn't forget the button hole, you made a Design Decision!

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...
