Fringe Finish

By -


What a few prayers won't do eh? This is nearly miraculous as far as my finishes go. I'm proud to give it to my Aunt now.
Friends Lesley and Karen approved as I picked up some sale O2 def. oxygen yarn. Abby, I took the picture on your deck for a change!

I have a tiny bit of this yarn leftover....and I have a wild and crazy thought......

I think Father's Day is going well for Fireman. He's off. There is a rib eye waiting for him, and he came home this morning to a freshly cut lawn. He gave fatherly advice to the kids: he gave Al tips on starting IV's successfully, and he's teaching Zach how to grill a perfect ribeye.

Stay tuned for another guest blogger this week and other goodies!


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

Glad Fireman's Father's Day was good! I love, love, love the fringe. Using the ribbon-looking yarn was a stroke of genius--an answer to prayers!

It turned out beautiful! As if there was any doubt.

Funny how times change, Dad giving IV starting advise ;) Sounds like a great Fathers Day... Being off must have been a stroke of luck.

What a great shawl! Don't you love it? The word verification today is "fings." When I glanced down at first, I read "fringe." I love word verifications.

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...
