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.

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post.

If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

This is a call for knitters to knit a baby blanket no bigger than a cookie sheet. Blankets will be distributed in the NICU where I work. We just don't get many blankets. We need them. Traditional baby colors will do, but we'd love you to branch out a bit. Use up those leftovers if you wish. You could win a lovely prize. All who send a blanket by November 1st, ALL SAINTS DAY, you angels you, will be entered in the drawing. Here are the rules: Blanket must be made of yarn which is washable. Sorry, Hospital rules. It cannot be bigger than a cookie sheet. Smaller is welcome also. That's it. Those are the rules. I'll post the prize by next week. Mail a blanket to me Kathy B if you need my snail mail address,email me at Harpnut@gmail.com
