Pretend Friends Knit Together

By -



I found the perfect spot for us to knit together. See us? We are on Lake Geneva in WIsconsin. There really is some knitting going on amid al the laughter you can obviously see.

We tooled around the lake for awhile too and we all adored the mansions. I'm really sorry that all I kept saying was: Nice but thats alot of yarn....

I say that about lots of things I see for sale. For instance we still have the same blender we got as a shower gift in 1982. While trying to make strawberry daiquiri's the other night, I considered getting a new one that would actually crush the ice. Priced them the next day, and thought: I could buy yarn with that money instead.....

I am working on my second shawl and it is making me so happy to knit it. I have 8 inches knit........63 left to go.......
and that doesn't bother me at all for some reason.

WHat doesn't bother you at all for some reason????
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Since the blue chair is taken, I'll take the red one. I can hear the loons from here. Sigh!

You are so good--making the yarn choice over new appliances. We have to buy a new dryer. Guess what that will do to my yarn buying for a long while!!

What doesn't bother me? For some reason I am not bothered at all to be home and no longer on vacation! Maybe I'm getting old and just prefer home where the knitting is easy.

Love where we are knitting. I had to laugh at your blender. I got mine as a wedding gift (first time) in 1969 and it just died last winter. What doesn't bother me--not having a blender. I haven't replaced it yet.

What doesn't bother me? I'm knitting a baby blanket (entrelac) for a friend who is expecting a baby girl in a month. I'm using baby weight yarn, and this blanket will be something this child can use for several years.......it's taking me about an hour per block! 10 blocks across....800 stitches per block, using size 2 needles.

I probably should have done the math in advance, but oh well, it doesn't bother me. :) LOL!

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...
