NOW LETS GO

By -



I was trying for a good picture for the blog at the Botanic Gardens.

I think my Mountain Colors two repeat lace scarf looks not so good at this point.

Anyhow, a family was walking by when I was taking the picture and an inquisitive child said,
"what is that?"

The father said, "Its a turtle with a scarf now LETS GO!"

I remember the LETS GO days in our family. Now the only one who gets that said to them is ME!

Anyhow it is that end of senior year at high school time at our house. Last night I knitted during an awards ceremony.
We were expecting severe weather. I figured I wanted to have my knitted when the tornado went over the school gymnasium. I think it warded off the severe weather during the ceremony. I only dropped one stitich between knitting and putting it down for al the applauding we did.

Have you dropped a stitch lately?

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

Your Mountain Colors scarf looks wonderful. Beautiful design AND color!!

I've been rushing to finish the Alix shawl (two more rows) so I'm expecting to be dropping a lot of stitches in the hurry to bind off.

I remember the high school awards days. You were very wise to take your knitting along! Best wishes to all during this time of transition.

LOL! A turtle with a scarf! Hahaha! That comment made me laugh out loud.

But... the compliment is yours, my friend! I love the colours and the pattern you used in this one.

The stuff we parents say as a matter of fact. LOL I'm still laughing. The scarf looks good to me, unblocked lace droops instead of drapes, that's all. I'd say that turtle never looked so happy.

And yes, I'm always dropping a stitch here or there, especially when I'm caught off guard by random turtles.

Y'know I'm going to be using that one all the time.

 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...
