Dive right in....

By -


Seems we are diving right into many things in life right now!
So far, the water is just fine on most accounts.

I'm ready to dive into another knit/crochet project.
I think I may finish my dad's knit today.
Great news, my dad does NOT need surgery for his back.
He gets the prayer lap blanket anyhow.

I'm also diving into sending Z to college and
so far I'm either in denial or perhaps I am really going to do fine.
Anyhhow, it is not about me. It is about him, his time, his studies, his not having me cook
for him anymore!!!!

Al dove right into living in the city and she really loves it.
She didn't really dive in, she stepped in and out of the pool of change
about a hundred times, but that is her way! And now we cannot
get her out of the water!

Katherine is diving into Holiday knitting.
Hmmmmm, don't think I have a thing knit for holiday gifts yet this year....
Maybe I'll just knit one holiday gift. One very lovely holiday gift.
A very lovely flat holiday gift.
But for who????

are you testing the waters today? Good luck. Be brave.
I'm there at the poolside with the floatation device to toss to you
in case you need it.
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Lots of change for you - good luck! We have a fair amount coming our way - all of it good and exciting! None of it knitting!!

This is a special time for you! I remember those days of change so well and somehow we do recover as our children grow and change. It's so much fun to watch them!

Yes I did dive into the holiday knitting last night with the first cup cozy. The Fair Isle knitting is so familiar that I don't think I'll need the flotation device but it's good to know you are there, waiting to help!!

I like diving in - it's my nature. I'm not a toe dipping person. I'm all for diving in. Enjoy the changes!

How are things going? Summer went by far too quickly.

Please please help me!!! Enter my contest--if you link to a stole/shawl pattern, laceweight, with beads, that I can understand and knit, I'll send you something from my stash! I'm getting desperate!

Love you!

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...
