Meet Fuster

By -

I awoke from my post work slumber to a box from Major Jennifer...just because!!!!

MajorKnitter and I have been pretend and real friends for awhile now. She's a go getter, as my dad would say. She's an organized and amazingly productive person! And she's an accomplished knitter. Go over to her blog for a fun treat anyday. Jennifer keeps it light, as I try to do here at irisheyes.

Jennifer felt the need to send me knit treats! Meet Fuster. I named her that. She's one of many knit chickens that have emerged at Jennifer's house. Fireman taught me the nasty phrase that is simliar to fuster cluck. When he describes a call that went amuck, he uses this phrase. It is one of my favorites. Having practiced things at work over and over and over, you still cannot predict how life will go when you get a nasty situation in front of you. Sometimes it is a real fuster cluck and sheer fate takes over.

She sent this beautiful bag from : Fibers Entwined an Esty store.
The yarn is silk and won't itch me! Blues are always my favorite color!
THe little stitch markers are so cheerful.
And the chocolate...I think knit friends make the chocolate world go round!

So Fuster will grace the blog page everyday now on the right! Cluck cluck cluck





I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

Carol and I drove by your house on the way to Grandpa's and saw that package on your doorstep. We both agreed it had something knitting related in it! Must know the phrase Fireman taught you that is close to Fuster cluck:0

I'm SO naming our next male dog Fuster. Because that same phrase - you know... the one Fireman brought home? - is SO much a part of our vernacular!

Wonderful surprise package. You are a lucky duck, or maybe I should say chick. Fuster is so cute and I love the phrase. I know the one the firemen use all too well!

Can't wait to see what you make from that beautiful silk yarn.

Lucky you getting a care package from Jennifer - she is a sweetheart! I'm so glad she sent you one of her hens...I haven't seen them in person yet but she was on a huge tear making them.

 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...
