What I want my knitting to be:

By -


This is the prayers shawl from sockyarns I have been stashing. These are my comfort colors. Blue jeans and bandanna reds.
Garter. All garter. Using the square needles, and I've been really comfortable without any tendon pain.

What's easy and doesn't roll?

garter stitch

What's take along anywhere knitting?

garter stitch

What's talk with a friend knitting?

for me, it's garter stitch.

If all I ever knit were garter shawls for a year would you keep coming around?

What's something I can knit after a mind boggling, emotionally wrenching shift?

Garter.

Oh Garter stitch, I love thee.

By nature Im wound up tighter than a drum,

I don't need my knitting to be stressful right now.

Garter is my summer theme.







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

GO Garter GO! Sounds like a good plan to me. Nothing like unwinding a tightly wound individual than garter stitch (or stockinette if it's in the round) same difference. knit knit knit knit knit - good plan =)

I love garter stitch! So relaxing and I think it is really pretty. Sally Melville's book of garter stitch patterns is one of my favorites. Why not be good to yourself and knit garter stitch!

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...
