Ben Franklin would have liked the wee tiny sock swap

By -




Ben Franklin made some cool connections in his life. Kites/thunderstorms=electircity. I think Ben would have loved how Emily from yarnmiracle has socks flying all over the air this week. My wee tiny was made by Sandra of Cookeyknits.blogspot.com.
She's so clever, you know I LOVE clever, she added a chain clip. It is now on my down vest and looks perfect there as a zip pull.

My son and his girlfriend went to a kite fly in our town yesterday. THe colors of the kites are wonderful. Maybe I'll copy kite colors for good combos. :)

Enjoy a great kite, thunderstorm or knit today.

I love those wee little socks. I always think I will knit a dozen or two, but never do. They would be a sweet gift for anyone!

I'm so glad you are having kite-flying weather!

I'm getting together with a friend to enjoy option #3 today. :) Although the kite-flying sounds fun. Somewhere around here I've got a photo of Elvis flying a kite...

The sock is a great idea.
The Glen open field right by the fitness center is a great spot to fly a kite. It has been a perfect weekend here to do it.

 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...
