Karen's Swiss Cheese Scarf

By -


Karen was having fun while she made the scarf. I'd seen it somewhere in a photo, probably Ravelry, but not in person.
If you don't know, or didn't surmise, as I didnt' : it is buttonholes and buttonholes and more buttonholes. Cute huh?

Still working on my thumbed glove. I am working a thumb like a gusset. I didn't realize I've never done this before.
I like it because it is easier to do than run around some stitches in a circle on four needles. I think I'll really like the result.
I don't do well running around in circles. Period.

So it is MY weekend. The weekend where I work the night shift and we lose and hour! I know the seasoned night nurses know how to feed the 2 oclock babies at a new time , but thank goodness there will be 14 others nurses there to help me figure it out......otherwise I will be running around in circles.

One less hour to stay awake. What annual fun for those of us who are night shift!

I can't believe we haven't organized a theme of treats for in the lounge. Hmmmmm. What would the theme be? Perhaps there is no TIME to get to the lounge on this evening........aha moment for me.....
I talk more in the'm comments!

Neat! However, I bet I'd get sick of the pattern... Only one way to find out, eh?

I love the swiss cheese! I never thought about it before but while I am frustrated because i am going to lose an hour of precious sleep there are others, like you, who are thankful that they don't have to stay up or work for that extra hour! I feel better already and I haven't even lost the sleep yet!

I have Swiss Cheese in my queue. Her's looks great. Will have to get it done before next winter.

I love the longer daylight but I hate the time change. I'm so glad that I don't have to make any major adjustments.

 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...
