Review of the VIEW Stick

***** 5 stars.
Given to me by Katherine in Frugal swap.
Made by Sundown Products in Cape Coral GL
Makes itsby bitsy lace chart much easier on the eyes.
Eliminates need to enlarge chart at Kinko's.

I have been able to correct my last two lace mistakes on my own.
Eliminates need to drive to yarn store and ask for help
Eliminates need to beg Al to find a spare moment to fix it for me.
The lifeline is very much still there, and I move it up just about every repeat.

I have not memorized the 6 different rows that are involved in this diamond like look.
I take it one row at a time.
I am able to take it along in the car.
I can knit it with baseball on the TV.

I thnk I can say
I am hooked on lace.
and charts.
I feel like I've learned a universal language.

No wonder I have ben so tired.
Good tired
Brain tired.

Im off for a nap. :)

I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

I'm so glad you are using (and liking) charts! They really make everything easier.

That view stick thing-a-ma-bob is pretty darn cool. I might have to get one. By the end of the day my eyes are worn out.

I've never heard of the View Stick before - but I think it's a wonderful invention!!! I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for one of those.

I'm so glad you are loving lace. Yes, take it one row at a time. Just like life - one day at a time. Anything is possible if you break it down into small steps. :)

I'm so glad you are enjoying charts (and the chart holder!). Charts are the only way I can knit lace. That's a beautiful scarf. Are you making it in pink?

 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...
