2 Things

By -


The first thing:

Crazyknittinglady.wordpress.com has an interesting explanation of changing guage with the same number of stitches by changing needle sizes. Have you knit anything this way?

Second thing:
I'm glad I dont post the blogs I read, because it seems many knit blogs have been unraveled......
Have you been reading anyone new lately?

I'd love to try find some!

( I wont mention the Cubs embarassment yesterday,)

( I won't tell you that I accidentally clocked a man on my first try with a chuck it at the dog Park)

(I wont tell you about how Cricket doesn't understand that he can poop in his new fenced yard....suffice to say I'm having a party when he finally does)

And (I won't tell you how I knit an entire sock and ripped it all out during the toe finish last Saturday!)

I talk more in the comments!

Seems like a lot of bloggers are taking breaks or quitting completely. I need to make some new connections, too.

I've made friends with some readers, but I don't think I've added a new blog to my reader in a while...

Paws crossed that Cricket gets over himself and poooos in the yard VERY soon!

I always knit that way----I just start 2 needle sizes smaller and sure enough usually get the gauge

I noticed very few folks comment on my blog anymore, so something is going on!

I have begun to have a feel for what needle size I should use to get gauge based on previous projects. I hadn't really noticed unraveled blogs, but that might be because I read waaaaaaay to many so I always have a backlog.

Two of my favorite knitting blogs to read are Mr. Puffy's blog at: http://theknittingblogbymrpuffythedog.blogspot.com/ and Sailing Knitter at http://www.sailingknitter.blogspot.com/. Both post sporadically but are worth the effort to check on for new posts.

About changing needles--I always do that at the hip of sweaters to accomodate my spreading bottom.

Have you put some of Crickets poop in the back yard to "entice" him?

I just follow blog comments along from one blog to the next. You can reach the end reaches of the internet this way!!!! It's fun!

not about knitting but if cricket has not yet pooped in his yard pick up the poop where ever he does and put in his yard scent will give him the idea and if you put it in a far away spot he will usally always retun there instead of pooping all over the yard good luck

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...
