Tomorrow Fireman is taking me to the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival!

Do not expect us to come home with a beautiful border collie; too much dog for us!

I love my new square Single points from Diane;she gave me 4s and 5s.

I'll be showing you some dog pictures; just because I enjoy photographing dogs.

I expect to buy some handspun tomorrow.

We are still working through Huck's passing; I put the metal cup measure into the washing machine today. (loud)

I need to find some more faux cashmere yarn........

I'm starting to give Radar all the people treats I used to give Huck.

It is a gorgeous day to knit outside in the sunshine, here in Chicago.

Radar is grieving the loss of his boy, Zach, so he gets treats.

Have fun at Stitches Midwest Irisheyes Lynnn and cousin Maureen.

I think I'm mastering the close ups with the camera now; do you like todays' flower?????




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

Oooh the flower is wonderful!

So the bag Tom won is officially mine now and I love it. We are traveling (mostly a business trip) and I took it as my purse/knitting bag. It looks great and works great, and I love it, and I am so happy that Tom won it and gave it to me for a present. I even feel trendy wearing it which gives you a picture of how geeky I am!

The flower is very artsy and the photography is so good I wish I could make my camera work like that.

Mutts are always good dogs. I'm looking forward to the dog photos.

Have fun at the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival. Bring back lots of yummy yarn.

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...
