Melt your heart Carter

By -


Carter is all melt your heart these days! Noah is too, but both have eye infections going on and Noah is less than perfect for a picture. She's going to hate me when she grows up if I show an image of her today! Kids......you know how they are!

I have given my eye worries about the kittens to the worry dolls on the barette I bought in AZ. I also GIve my worries to St. Francis, and so they will be fine.

Today's Eskimmi thought for bloggers during blog week has to do with reflecting on how you ve grown during the last knit year.
Well, I will play the pity card and say that much of the last year was difficult personally with health issues. THat said, I stuck to mostly basic socks and fingerless gloves for my knitting.

I cannot say my knit skills grew very much. I did however, create and run the Swap which was hugely fun. I also wrote the article for Ravelry which has been read by over 5,000 now.
These two accomplishments came oh so easy to me.
New KNit skills are much more difficult for me. Here's to that reverse shaping I'm going to master this year!

wishing you all whiskers on kittens ....and a favorite things kind of day

I know you will master your reverse shaping skills this year. I feel like I'm going backward in the knitting skills--I can't seem to wrap my mind around things right now. When there is a lot going on in our lives I think it is enough to just knit (at least I hope so because that's all I'm doing right now).

Precious photo. And wouldn't it be boring if we were all the same? Celebrate your strengths and embrace your weaknesses!

No shame in socks! Just think about how mystifying they were before you learned to turn a heel!

(PS My captcha is "enwooten" I think that means to give someone something that makes them say "woot!")

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...
