Ten things I'm thinking

By -


* Busstop.typepad.com 's angel is adorable

* Camera broken....very very concerning......

* Frogged Cat's Paw lace scarf. Just because. I got to 11 paws and decided I was bored.

*Al congratulated me on lace success, then told me if I used a smaller needle, the paws would be more outstanding.

*Started a Helix hat for the charity drive. Oh this is fun knitting. Have you ever knit any helix patterns?

*Bianca of Lansingerlan changed her blog look. I Love the new look. Better to see your knits with my dear!

*People in Chicago are nice. Politicians in Chicago tend not to be. Come see us still......we are really nice.....

*My worst knit of the year: The little vest I made and actually showed you all in January. Nice yarn, terrible knitting!

*Car knitting time today :). Off to Fireman's cycling friend's party .

and the Tenth thing I'm thinking on the blog today: My solar powered snowflakes have nothing to do with the blog, But, I have to recommend them. They come on themselves when it gets dark, no switch to flip, no fingers freezing, no burnt out bulbs. Earth friendly. As santa for some....the are sooooooooo easy and nice.
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

I've heard about the solar-powered lights and really want to get some! Much easier than the regular kind. I haven't been able to find them anywhere, though.

We won't hold it against you that you're from the Chicago area. I'm sure there are at least a dozen honest guys there. Did you get offered a chance to bid on the senate seat? How many skeins of yarn did you offer? I hope you didn't offer any of the prize skeins. :-)

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

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
