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. :-)

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
