I've had a rough go at trying to photograph this sweater back. Al is making it for a gift. I give you the textured version. You can make out the ridges going up the back to the chest part where it changes to checkerboard. Her goal is to finish this by the winter holidays.

Some thoughts today:

*I think I am moving on after 4 cowls. (readers breathe sigh of relief)

*Cable bug biting again. (also mosquitos)

*knitting interrupted this week, mostly due to my own inability to concentrate.

*knitting interrupted does not mean no knitting this week, just lots of interruptions.

*Two current on the needles projects: other confetti sock and Nonni throw.

*taking on the moods of others around me, this week. Must stop this.

*wee tiny bite fad over....

*weaniing off coffee creamer......not off yet!

*posting about posts. I cannot seem to find post earrings that a pretty anywhere.

*Bring back the post. Enough of the drop earrings already.

*let the maid go after 8 years. We both cried!
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Have you tried looking on Etsy for earrings?

Really? No more coffee creamer? I've been thinking about that myself (my thoughts include replacing it with milk and homemade vanilla syrup).

I'm sorry to hear about Marta. That sounds like a very tough transition for everyone. *Hugs*

I know what you mean about the posts. Pretty much diamond studs are the nice post earrings to be found.

Invest in some pretty diamond studs and wear them everyday! Chic! Sorry about the maid. That's a tough decision to make after 8 years!

Nobody should let go of their maid *and* go off coffee creamer at the same time. That's just torture. Why don't you send her to my house? I most definitely need a maid. There's no shortage of disgusting house cleaning to do here.

I hear you about the maid - mine decided to go back to college and we shed a lot of tears.

Beau looks great - I'd like to knit one too.

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...
