THe knit birds answer your questions

By -


This are two new guest bloggers to irisheyes. They flew into my sideyard yesterday and think they know everything.
Apparently they've arrived to bring me knitting fortune. I'll share them with you.

MY first question to them:
How do I add pizzazz to my current fascinating knitting?

"Well," the pink one said, " you have to stop knitting the tissue covers, honey. They are boring everyone to death. "

"Try cables woman!", the yellow one said. "They look so impressive. "

"Oh yes, cables honey. You'll feel like you can fly, once you master cables"

So, I'm cabling. And I am soaring.

What has a little bird told you lately?
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

I haven't learned how to cable yet, but it's definitely one of my summer knitting goals!

I love cables, they make you look like you know what you are doing even if you don't. I like to do cables on everything even my socks.

Hurray for cables!!! They are easy, aren't they? I remember being so scared to try them - but they are great!! :) Hmmm, I haven't heard anything from any little birds lately. Maybe I need to listen harder.

Oooohh, so those are little birds that are talking to me...I thought it was the voices in my head. I never do what those voices say, but I gotta admit that they have some really good ideas. :)

Ah yes, the allure of the cable! If only I could manage to get rid of that pesky cable needle.

Cables are a nice change of pace... Just don't make more (cabled)tissue holders... ;)

Hi Kathy,

I like cables (I'm doing an all-over cable sweater right now) but I really love the creativity of color better.

But most of all I LOVE your bird guys. My husband is a very avid birder. These guys may be standing between him and a perfect life. Wherever did you get them?

 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...
