Tuesday's Guest Blogger

By -


You know when you find a great guest blogger you just have to ask them for a picture. The one on the left was hesitant. The one on the right was so sweet. Both said their wives were knitters! Actually: dare I say I found Santa hanging out on Lake Geneva in Wisconsin last week?

Fireman and i were fishing with a Fireguy . A fireguy is someone who is under 30 and looks to Fireman for advice. THis is pretty much everyone on the Department as Fireman is one of the most senior there. It is a young man's job, for sure. Fireguys tell Fireman, to leave the bag, they'll carry it for him. Fireman doesn't like this......

So I didn't catch any fish. But I was on a boat and the warmth was around us and I knit on the way up and back! Oh joy.

Anyhow I don't have any fishing tips, but I went fishing for knit tips to share so Here you go!

I found Spud and Chloe patterns on the Purlsoho sight. So very cute.

I found SweetGeorgia Yarns having a 40% off sale.

I found some great patterns at ilgaleja.com The lacy top is so summery. Ahhhhh.

I found that our nearby BordersBookstore Cafe serves a seasonal Dreamsicle cookie. To die for. Cookie lovers get there before they change the seasonal cookie. Ahhhhhhh.

Happy fishing.

Happy Guest Blogger. Mrs Claus, he's in jolly good spirits.




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

Santa is adorable. What a way to brighten a day! I went to ilgaleja.com and fell in love with the seascape collection especially skin of the sea.

Tell Fireman to enjoy the respect and admiration of younger men. I know (from experience with DS fireman) that he has earned it many times over!

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...
