When your dreams are Dream in color

By -


then they are wonderful dreams. 3 by 1 rib for my hat. The mandatory purl stitch gets less attention that way. I'm going to knit for a big brim that folds back.

I've salvaged the camera. Again. For now.
I looked at some last night with Fireman, and they just overwhelmed me. The one I thought might be best looks so intimidating to me. Fireman says, "look at all the bells and whistles," and I just cringe. I don't want bells and whistles. The simpler the better.

Just like my knitting! and my life.....
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Glad that the camera is working again. Sometimes the simple things are the best.
Love the colour for your hat.

Bells and Whistles overwhelm me, too. We recently got a refurbished Canon Powershot E1 for $138 at Amazon. It's got the bells and whistles, but it also has an auto setting and a taking pics for dummies setting. Works for us!

I know what you mean about simple. DS bought me a really souped-up camera to take bird pictures and I love it, but I find myself going back to my simple point and shoot Kodak for quick pictures. We are creatures of habit.

The hat is a gorgeous color! Three by one ribs are so warm and cozy!

YOU noticed the shoes......Fireman bought them for me for Valentine's Day! WE are both working, so we celebrate early! I've never had a pair of Privo's. My daughter is transforming me into a shoe lover.....now that I am almost 50! Better late than never..

What a gorgeous color yarn and perfect for the 3x1 hat. I love to do a 2x1 ribbing on my socks for that very same reason ;)

Beautiful color. Reminds me of ripe cantaloupe which I love. Too bad for the Fuji. I love my Finepix and now the memory card door won't stay. Somehow lost one the pins. It's taped for now.

I have two Canons with many bells and whistles. They're both set on Auto, stay on Auto, and take wonderful pictures of almost anything.

I did learn to use the zoom for bird pictures, but I zoom with Auto.

Maybe they include all the bells and whistles for the men, but the jokes on them (the men) because the camera works better on Auto?

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...
