It's beginning to look a lot like....geraniums

or a Christmas gift. Whichever you prefer.

Two leftover balls of angora blend Lush I believe, put together in the simplest manner make this scarf.
Funny how those two leftover balls will call for my purchasing a bit more of each yarn.

This begs the question: When does stash
reduction that calls for more yarn become less than cost efficient? Is the leftover stash like a sourdough
starter? Or is it more like that horrible friend bread that comes with the obligation to watch it sit on the counter for days
and then force someone else to make it too? Guilt over leftovers is a bit like that, I think.

At any rate, I love the way these two colors meet. In fact, I'm discovering that greens meet almost any color
in a delicious way. Maybe that is why green is all over the Earth. Just for us to enjoy the match ups.

What is your favorite match up with green?



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

Green and..... blue. Cream. Red. Even some purples and oranges. If it looks good, then it's okay!

Green and burgandy is my favorite! You're right green goes with anything. As for stash--it has a wicked little mind of its own. Sometimes mine says, "Knit this. You have enough," and it lies. Other times it say, "You need to buy more," and I have yarn left over. Wicked!!

Your scarf will be beautiful.

Green and white... or cream white. Reminds me of a field filled with white roses. But as long as you like it, any colour can be used with green

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

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...
