Knitting and the Power of Postitive Thinking

By -


So I was at my father's house for his recent birthday. I found the family photo album and took a shot of the signed photo of me and W. Clement Stone. He always wore a penciled in moustache. It was his tracemark. Here I am shaking his hand. The funny thing is, I have exactly the same haircut now!

Anyhow I have had to have to do some postive thinking on my new knitting venture. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. Anything the mind can concieve and believe, the mind can achieve! etc. And I have some new knitting i will try to show you tomorrow.

I'm making Julia Houston's IT's Our Secret Booties.
I LOVE making them.
Using lots of leftover sock yarn.
Almost all garter stitch.
Some seaming, but hey, I've had an epiphany with seaming......finally!

Even though I have to make two of each, they go fast fast fast and are
adorable. Just in time for cold feet......
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Classic hair cuts never go out of style, they just get better.
What a blast to have met W. Clement Stone!
Whatever the new project--you can do it!!
Bootie time again. It doesn't seem possible. Where did summer go. It's even getting cool here in Texas.

(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...
