One thought leads to another

By -



Katherine of blog.knittingonthego sent me a treat yesterday. What a pick me up. Guess what? I am going to knit Lace because of the Pacific pattern she hooked me with! (Grace and other lacers, have you knit this before?)

Such a contrast! This Pacific lace pattern from Katherine (Chicago Transplant to Texas!) and I have icicles on my hydrangea bush.

Can we talk about this peanut butter business? I'm absolutely craving it.....just because I can't have it. Are you? What are mothers feeding their picky eaters? Are you using a subsitute? In all seriousness, those who got sick and those who died have my most sincere sympathies. Which leads me to another thought: flip though it is: What is going to happen to the Girl Scout cookies with the peanut butter in them? Thank goodness there isn't a thin mint contamination......

Carol my wonderful OT took great care of my arm again today. We talked Pillows. We talked how to knit without stressing my tendon using pillows. It is all about the pillows. Just like when I teach mothers how to nurse their infants. It is all in the pillows.

What kind of pillow do you rest your head on? A feather pillow, a fiber pillow, a memory foam pillow? There is a pillow sale and I am shopping. I wont even tell you how old my current pillows are. Somehow this connects to knitting.

Because Carol my OT says "It is all connnected!" all the time.
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Don't worry -- you can still have peanut butter from jars. It's peanut butter paste that's used in cookies and crackers that's the problem. Enjoy!

My gurus tell me that "it's all connected" all the time. They repeatedly keep telling me how much I would benefit from regular yoga classe. Hmmmm. There might be something in that.

I sleep on two allerg-free pillows. Bad, bad reflux, even with medication sometimes.

I also nominated you for a Kreativ Blogger award.

So glad to see you are going to tackle Pacific Islands! I really want to try it but I flunked a lace KAL once and have been scared of lace since.

Peanut butter? I'm glad it's not one of my cravings. A chocolate crisis would hit me hard!

I must go look into this PB contamination. I love PB!

Pacific Islands look like a beautiful pattern. I've found using lots of stitch markers helps with my lace knitting (not that I've knitted lace in a long time!)

The ones we like best are ancient - the one we fight over has been around for at least 20 years. The cats love the boppy!

My youngest grandson is allergic to peanuts so nobody in the family has anything peanut butter in their houses. Nutella is a wonderful substitute.

I used a memory foam pillow for years, but it died and was giving me headaches. I noticed that when I traveled and used well-made polyfill pillows I didn't get a headache. So I got myself to Costco and bought a pair of nice poly pillows. I've been pretty happy with them.

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(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. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. 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...

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 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...
