Dedicate Your Blog DAY 4.25.11

By -

Who would you dedicate your blog to? I'd like to ask fellow bloggers to dedicate their post or their entire blog to someone on Monday April 25th. Dedicated to the ones we love....
I'll have a button available later for you to post on your blog it you wish.

This is the Mirror Mirror Vest coming along. The fronts don't match right now. Time to rip out the right front. I can see why some people knit the fronts at the same time. I am beginning to understand reverse shaping if you can believe it! It has been a stretch for me. Karen has been great with the pattern write up. I'm reading the Happiness Project book and apparently we are happy when we acquire a new skill. I haven't acquired it yet...and I am not very happy trying. Here's looking forward to mastery of the vest and new found happiness!

It took come serious psyching myself up to take the vest out again. Then I struggled with it last night. hmmmmm. MAYBE tonight I'll try again. If at first we don't succeed.....

I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

I'm in! But who will I pick? And what will I write about? I hope I get a good idea.

Is it bad that my first thought was to dedicate it to Angus? I still miss him every day.

The vest is so pretty! You have done a wonderful job on it and I know you can finish it. We all have to tink back at times to make things even up. It's just one of those knitting challenges we all face. I'm so glad you didn't frog it!!

I'll think about my dedication over the weekend.

 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...
