Calm knitting, my favorite kind

By -


Huck got a new bandanna. The new hairdo looks even better with a bandanna. Couldn't pass this one up at the farmers market today fore 4$. I spent about half that on 3 ears of bread and butter corn on the cob. I wish I could send you all an ear. Tis the season here in the corn belt, and it is like eating August.

I"m knitting with the little ball of brown you see tucked into Huck. I'm knitting very calm right now. Top down raglan cardi for me. I know this knitting, I understand it, I can see it. This is my favorite kind of knitting. Calm knitting. Happy knitting. In my comfort zone knitting. BIg needle knitting. Easy to see knitting. Can't wait to knit knitting.

But now, the crickets are singing and they too are the sound of August for me. They are lulling me into sleep. Zzzzzzz

What a good dog! My kitties are starting to see the fun part of yarn. I'm a little afraid!

Hugs and kisses to Huck. What a handsome dude he is! I would love to see the sweater as it progresses. I am also knitting a summer sweater, and you're right it is happy knitting.

When my big dogs are asleep like that, I just want to lay down next to them and cuddle them. So cute!

 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...
