Remember Abby's dilemna?

By -


So many of you had helpful ideas for Abby when she ran across some stripes issues on the front portion of her vest.

She decided to knit the front in a lovely complimentary color in brown. I like that it isn't a matching color. The colors chosen compliment ALL the colors of the back. She also knit a matching hat for the gift set. I love how it all came together. She will bring it to her dear friend overseas soon.

Great finish Abby! YOU inspired me.

Who inspired you today?


I talk more in the comments!

Oh Abby your vest is lovely! I love the colors and contrast. This morning I was inspired by a Knitscene email to knit a capped sleeve, cabled hoodie to wear over a long-sleeved tee for those breezy spring days. Maybe--maybe not! As slow as I knit sweaters it would end up being for next spring.

Clever! I love it.

I haven't been inspired yet this morning. I've felt guilty - Nephew is taking the Knight to the oral surgeon so that my MIL didn't have to cancel her manicure appointment this morning - I've felt indignant (hem... see above?), and I've been frustrated (DMV paperwork for the firehouse), but inspired will come. My blog reading always inspires me.

I only just discovered this today, but I'm very inspired by Pojagi - a Korean patchwork technique. Just beautiful.

Abby's vest is gorgeous.

 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...
