More good news

*My Tye Dye in Minerals arrived yesterday.

*I had great customer service from Yarnmarket. First try with them.

*Nearing the finish with the blue jean fingerless; seriously, I will likely finish today.

*Cricket's fence is up. The long 6 weeks with a pup and no fence is over.
I never stake a dog, so we have been busy with potty walks for many cold days and eves.

*Al got a job. ER in the city. Near her. She will work as a nurse very soon.

*Spring break with Zach at home has been so nice. So very nice. He and
Cricket are bonded. It took about a minute....

*Crocus are blooming.

*Radar warmed the foot of my bed up right before my nap yesterday........

*I discoverd that one of the hats I knitted for Zach, has mixed fibers. The top of
the hat is felting.....Zach says it gets too loose so he feels the felting is a good thing.

What is your good thing?

Lots of good things there! I have yet to knit with Ty-Dy sock. I have used the original version and liked it very much. I have two balls of the sock yarn in my stash, as I recall...

Yea Cricket!! Having a yard to run in is so important for the furry ones.

It's a good thing the week is over (whew) and that we always take a two day weekend during tax season!

Yea Al!! Great news about the job. Hope she enjoys the ER as much as DD does.

Beautiful yarn you got there!

Good thing would be if it got a bit warmer outdoors. I have cold hands, rain coming :-(

My good thing is being with my boys (hubby included in this count). Just hanging out or doing something special. I'm very grateful for the time they want to spend with me.

I was surprised about the TyDy yarn for you. It's a wool blend. Will that be a problem?

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...
