Another Hat! Norwegian Star Pattern from Ravelry

By -


Inspiration: Katherine from ComfortKnits blog!
Yarn: Leftover Zara.

Found way to eliminate right arm pain. Chardonnay. 2 glasses over an evening. Who needs advil?

Found way to keep my black coffee streak going when given a Starbucks gift card: Salted Carmel Hot Chocolate with Whip.

Found answer to itchy wool: CONDITIONER REALLY REALLY WORKS.

Found: a thousand new yarns that I can wear if I condition them!

Found: picture of me when little at Christmas. Want to see it?

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

Love the Chardonnay cure. Wonder if it would work with Pinot Grigio too? I'll have to try tonight and report back. ;)

PS: I'm not a cheater!!

I wanna see a cutie pic of you at Xmas!!!! Not sure if I can return the favour as I don't have a lot of childhood pictures with me.

Thanks for the tip - I'll have to try the trick with conditioner.

If chardonnay works on arm pain do you think merlot would work on back pain? I love the hat and the pretty colors, especially the blue. Yes, I would love to see the picture!

I forgot--have you tried Eucalan? It is a wool wash that you leave in to condition the wool. Works on any fiber.

How the do those spammers get through??? I have a hard time with word verification half the time!
I'll show you my baby picture if you show me yours!!

I guess it makes sense to use conditioner on wool, I use it on the dog to control his static cling.

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 their boy.  Insufficient inf

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 have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I
