October knitting thoughts

By -


*You just cannot capture this color in yarn. It isn't possible. This is magic color time in Chicago.

*Even though a squirrel on my screened porch, climbing the screens like a crazy, I finished a row
before I screamed about it.

*It is very difficult to take a bad picture for the blog in the Midwest right now.

*Zach didn't think the hat I knit him was going to "work". Gave it to him over Parents Weekend.
I swear just one circular project and my tendon was starting up. Fireman doesn't know it,
but he may be learning to knit a hat soon.......don't tell him.
yet

*The cookie sheet blankets are arriving and they are one cuter than the next. How should I show them
to you?

*It took me just over one hulu sponsored episode of the Office, to frog the ruffle on the prayer shawl.
That's alot of ruffle stitiches eh? I'll never be able to take ice from a hotel machine again, after seeing the wedding
episode!

and a question......have you ever had raisen pie?

Happy October

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

Ten more rows and my blanket will be finished! It is almost the color of the trees here but not nearly as golden as the leaves in your photo. Gorgeous!!

Sorry the hat didn't work for the boy. My dear GS(s) are so picky about their hats--fit, color, fiber. I guess it's a guy thing.

Oooh, I'd love to see the Cookie Sheet blankets. Do you have a place to hang them on a line with clothes pins?

I'm a big Hulu fan, too.

No one said anything about sour cream in the raisin pie. Is that standard ? I bought it at a farmstand and it said Amish pies. THis one said raisin. It is already cooked. Im only having a bite, I swear. But if I like it, Im going to make some for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Do take a pic of the little blankies all together so we can see how cute they are.

I've never had raisin pie and never will.

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...
