Lynn's Cupotea

By -


Here she is, Miss America! Look at that colorway Lynn chose for sweet Katie's clapotis. I have another image to post of it, but I dont want to try posting two at once.....I'm just grateful Blogger smiles on me once again....Lynn oh Lynn oh irisheyes Lynn what yarn did you choose to use? We must know.

I'm still knitting tissue covers......cover #2 is well underway. I might branch out and put a faux cable patten on the next one....well, probably not. But, isn't it a fine idea? I need a little cable practice.

I'm still having fun with:

the contest post
finding funny things for the winners to go with the yarn
reading all your blogs and your blogs blogs
entering other's contests

On that note, I have to tell you that I named the family Rooster on a knitter's contest blog and won! I named their handsome white Rooster:

Russell Crowe.

hee hee heee heee
I get a prize next week. Oh I love to be the clever one!

have a funtastic friday.

OK, I haven't had enough coffee--it took me a minute to get the Russell Crowe joke. But now that I get it, ha!

Glad to see you're feeling better.

The Clapotis is fabulous. And congrats on winning the rooster contest. Isn't it wonderful to win a prize for being cleaver rather than just lucky (although never sneeze at luck!)

Clapotis has been around for so long and I still haven't knit one. I would if I could find yarn as beautiful as Lynn's. Please share with us what she used when you find out. And, "Russell Crowe" definitely deserved to win!

 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...
