So many details.......

By -



This is my friend Jane's crocheted square. I am so impressed. She is making a tablecloth out of the squares for her lucky niece. Maybe Jane is a long lost aunt of mine.........something to ponder.....
It all looks like so much detail and that makes it that much more interesting to me.
She said the pattern is in a Ladies Home Journal from the 1970s.
More details: She has made one before!

The new camera is wonderful at detail. Zach taught me how to use the Manual modes on vacation. If I just paid attention to detail when we first got the camera, I could have mastered this sooner. Do you see my angel in the backround???? I like to think there are always angels in our backrounds.

My mind is full of details currently. A juxtapostion from vacation that is for sure.
Al moves out in a week. More details later.
Zach goes to college in a month. More details later.
Many details they have to attend to. Zach is a freshman so we are into all the details involved.
After going to orientation this week, we have detail overload!
Back to work tonight which is very detailed.

No wonder I am knitting easy these days. Almost to the ruffle part of the prayer shawl. 60 inches down, 11 to go.
That's probably too much detail.

Tomorrow: generalizations






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

Beautiful square. I wish I could crochet! It hurts my hands. Are you going to be empty-nesters? You have so much going on that a prayer shawl is perfect knitting for you right now! (I see angels in the background a lot).

 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...
