The subject is Chocolate knitting

By -



Stay with me here. These are Chocolate covered salted caramels. Within the last year we discovered these gems. Fireman and I love them. They are for very special occasions. This little pack was for his birthday a few weeks ago. They come in light and dark chocolate.

I have to send you over now to Bianca's site : lansingerland.blogspot.com to show you her chocolate socks.
She created this pattern and the socks are beautiful. The are published with the pattern in Yarnforward Issue 26 as well.

RIght now my socks are very simple. I let the yarn color do the work. It soothes me not to have to think very hard right now.
Someday I want to knit these socks on Bianca's site. I admire you all who knit complex socks and create the patterns.

wishing you chocolate or caramels or knitting time this weekend.

The weekend can't go fast enough. Fireman's surgery is monday. :) Thank you for the well wished a prayers.
I talk more in the comments!

My thoughts and prayers will be with Fireman and you on Monday.

Chocolate covered caramels--be still my heart. I am a chocoholic anyway. Show me chocolate with caramel and my knees get weak!

Can't wait to see your socks.

 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...
