Saturday musings

Ravelry has an article about photography. One suggestion is to shoot yarn as landscape. This is Araucania Nature Cotton for my mitred square baby throw. Do you see complaining about seaming in the distance.........on the horizon.....

I'll end the Wee Tiny Bite week with a wee tiny red velvet cake and icecream dessert. I am going to keep on with Wee Tiny Bite Diet but it won't be a Irisheyes running theme. There is a certain, reader guilt I feel when I am reading someone else's diet success. I'm thrilled for the person but I only feel guilty that I'm not doing anything about my own diet/lifestyle. So thanks for the support; i'll let you know when I give it up okay?

what's on your horizon?

Hmmm....wee tiny bites does not make me happy. But for ice cream it is too cold. So I'll make myself a double coffee I guess and knit a bit, everyone is asleep now and I have to wait until my dh comes home.
Tomorrow is Marathon day in Rotterdam and I am glad that dh changed shifts, he is free tomorrow! And for the rest, I have some finising to do in knitting... almost done with a sweater for Wietse, and some mittens.

Is the Araucania Nature Cotton as soft as it looks? If so that may be on my horizon. I'm into soft yarns lately.

Wee little bites is a great idea. I hope it's working for you. And I plan to employ that strategy on a pint of ice cream later!

a haircut tomorrow afternoon is on my horizon and hopefully starting some new knitting projects. Another project I want to play with is decorating tins with tea themed scrapbook paper if there is such a thing to put my flavored loose teas in so a trip to Michaels will be in order!

I really messed up the Hemlock throw. I guess I can't read knitstructions!

A son in the ice cream business? Can I come live with you?

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...
