This is Leona.
We met today in a waiting room.
She is knitting for Marjorie, a relative with ovarian cancer.
I told her I'd ask for prayers for her Marjorie.
She was so thankful
I know where to get prayers.
She was knitting with pink, plastic circulars
She said she's had them for ages
I want those needles
anyone???
Do you know where to get those pink plastic circulars?

Hello--found you via Emily @ Yarn Miracle.

I have a pair of Susan Bates circulars that are black and pink plastic, size 17. The join is 26" and each needle is 6.5".

I got them at a Stitch-N-Pitch night when I lived in Arizona and don't think I've ever used them. If you want them, they're yours! Send me an e-mail: ktdid2@comcast.net.....and will also send healing thoughts for Leona's Marjorie.

What an amazing friend, to make such a beautiful afghan :)I will definitely send a prayer or two.

And, as far as bright pink needles go, I know that Susan Bates has a ton of bright pink, blue, and purple needles.

You guys are the best. But I knew that. THing is Leona doesnt do computers, except to email. She is just trusting that folks will pray for her Marjorie...if only she could see your comments. But good begets good, so expect great things each one of you and thanks.

 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...
