Over the Moon

By -


I'm over the moon about my knitting life. It is just so fun to me. Knitting for a passion, makes it easy for my family to know what I like for all the special days when a gift might be given. We are spoiled silly, I think, with our yarn choices and colorways and tutorials on how to color our own yarn. Blog posts showing projects in all stages abound. Contests, knit togethers, swaps, and get aways are at our fingertips.

Aside from all that, just sitting down to knit by myself is a great gift that I can have almost everyday.

It is fireman's birthday today. It is the second warmest day of the year, here, in Chicago. The flowering trees are full in bloom and the bulbs are showing off. Maybe we'll even have a campfire tonight and listen to the Cubs....

Hope you are having a great day yourself.

I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Hope the evening goes well. Thanks for link for tissue holder pattern. Got it. I'm madly doing tea cosies from a vintage pattern given to me by an elderly neighbour. I had been looking for a cosy for my little Brown Betty a small two cup teapot and this pattern is just great.

It is a gift, isn't it? Even last night, as I frogged something for the second time and had to dig out the instructions for a provisional cast-on again since I didn't remember how to do it after the first 2 times, I still felt wonderful about it.

All Firemen deserve the happiest of birthdays. They are the true heroes!

Knitting by a campfire while listening to the Cubs sounds great! I have just discovered that I prefer knitting to music rather than TV. It's energizing!

I didn't see your comment on my blog until today--thanks for checking out my blog! I agree that it's a blessing to have so much creative inspiration and interaction at your fingertips. For me, however, it can also be a curse--I can spend hours perusing the web for new patterns and ideas!

Congrats to Fireman :-) At the moment my knitting is a bit reduced... it is pretty warm at the moment and my yarn eater is a little moody (big bobble in his mouth...molar coming)

I've never knit by moonlight! You've inspired to try something new.

 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...
