Tempting Sale Yarns

By -


My LYS 3 Bags Full is having a sale this week. Isn't this tempting? This yarn looks to me like it came right out of Rumplestilskin. Shot in available light, my favorite light, I think it is a lovely sight. I didn't buy any. I did buy some yarn in cornflower blue and yellow for a baby blanket. The square I went right to in 200 Knitted Blocks, is called Patch. I will be making a baby blanket in Patch soon.

* A few more books for National Library Week that Al has enjoyed:

The Vacation: by Polly Horvath. For the 3rd or 4th grade set. She says it is a fun read.

THe Outlander: Diana Gabaldon. Al initially scoffed at this Romanace series. Then fell for it! A real page turner. She can't wait for the next one to come out over the summer.

Eat, Pray, Love: Elizabeth Gilbert. People complained that she was very egotistical and self-centered in this memoir, but Al appreciated her honesty. Great mediatation tips. Makes Al want to go to Italy and pig out.

Good Poems for Hard Times: Garrison Kellor ed. Nice mix of modern and classic. Getting her through this dreary grey Chicago season.

I'll see you in the comments. as Donna Boucher Quiet Life says. And I'll answer you in the comments.

Oh that is pretty! Good for you for not giving into the temptation!

I love the Outlander series by Gabaldon as well, but I hadn't heard when the next book was coming out - now I'm very excited! Thanks!!

I would've never been able to resist that yarn. Wow. Such willpower.

I'm so behind on my reading. I have 4 books just begging for attention. I guess I know what I'll be taking on vacation.

 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...
