Warm Hat Wednesday: Another prize to tempt you

By -


Aint she somethin? Purdy, purdy, purdy. Another lovely donation from Anne At Wooly Wonka Fibers. Just one lovely hat and you can win this beauty.

I'm working on my charity hat. I'll hope to finish today and show it to you tomorrow.

Thanks for the good words for my travel. As a reward for my courage, I found a yarn store in the area and bought a skein.
It was double what I would normally spend, but it was marked half off! SCORE! Some Alchemy Wabi-Sabi silk/wool in Pewter. As the shop folk were not too warm or wonderful, I'll refrain from the details.

One other thing: Im not sure I want Lou Pinella to get the Coach of the Year award, that will be announced soon. WE STILL LOST!


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

Yeah, but Lou gets an E for effort at least. Plus, he sure can throw a mean tantrum....

Yummy yarn! I too have two hats coming your way. This is such a great idea!

Lou? What can I say? "Lou, Lou, Lou" (shake of the head and big sigh).

Gee... you are teasing with this beautiful yarn. How long can I resist knitting hats? I have plenty to do still... (finish sweater for Wietse, and back to socks)

What must we do to compete for this lovely yarn? I think a triangular lace shawl would be lovely (for someone's mother perhaps...)

Lou Pinella deserves it. As did Joe Maddon. Worst to 2nd is pretty good!

 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...
