Al's sock progress

By -


Remember the days when Al would knit a pair of socks in 3 days? Well, not right now. She is however making nice progress on her "goat" socks for Pete.

When I tried to take the image for the blog, the sun was setting and the room was dark. I more or less guessed at where I was shooting. Seems Radar decided to get in the post. Actually, because he is deaf, he is attracted to the flash of the camera. He was not sitting anywhere near then when I began to take pictures.

A follow up to the bologna binge of the other day. I didnt' feel so good about an hour later........obviously my gall bladder is no longer 8 years old........(burp)


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

I'm so glad that they got to you safely (and quick)! I already have more made and am working on others. I just think that this is a wonderful thing that you are doing and am glad to help. I'm adding you to my blog roll.

Dear Kate

I'm sorry I don't knit for pay. I actually don't know many knitters who do. You could find a local yarn shop and inquire there. It would be costly I am afraid. I say , LEARN TO KNIT! Scarves can be funky and simple to start with! YOU CAN DO IT!

Love your photography. Thank you for visiting Kate. C'mon back

The sock is great! I need to take lessons from Al. My socks are all so boring--colorful but boring. No goats here!

 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...
