Rescued by a lurker

By -


You are not bored silly with my sock progress thanks to Karen the lurker. She is letting me show her toe up Cloverleaf socks. She doesn't have much left to finish them. I had to show the cat bag too. You may be bored silly with my feline fad lately, but they are really cute. Thanks Karen.

My sock is coming along......
I have a cable question for all of you. When I knit the cable cross the stitches are tight when they get back on the needles. Aside from playing my Chanting Monks CD and breathing deeply, how can I loosen up? I am normally a loose knitter. Will I loosen up with time? Did you have this issue with tiny needles and cables?

Today's dinner: Frozen california pizza kitchen bbq chicken pizza. Too cold to be motivated to go out and eat or carry out.




I talk more in the comments!

I think once you get use to the smaller needles you will loosen up.
I love the color of that sock and the cat bag is so pretty:)Hugs Darcy

Hmmm cables too tight? Mine are always too loose. Between the two of us we should be able to figure out the perfect solution!

That is a handsome sock. Good work Karen!

We planned to go to a (free) concert last night in NJ. We figured that no one else would go since it was frigid out. HA HA HA. The place was packed and some people couldn't get seats. My husband and I got the last two seats next to a woman who crinkled her chip bag, and texted all through the concert whenever she wasn't snoozing half across me. I really could not believe her or her companion who kept saying things to her aloud. At the end, he complained that people kept shushing him "like it was high mass or the White House" and "afterall" he said, they were just practicing (not true - this is a professional group that donates an annual concert in town)

My one big disappointment was that it was so crowded that I could not sit in the back and knit while I was enjoying the chamber music. My favorite way to knit!

I've not done "real" cables on socks, so I can't offer technical help, but I can tell you that even those allergic to cats enjoy your feline "craze" of late! ;)

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...
