Fastest post in the WEST

By -

I love Stephen West's designs. Someday I'll be brave and knit one. Have you tried his patterns? They look logical and easy to follow. Are they?

The shawl shown is not a West, but I still love it. I found it on Ravelry awhile ago. I think the loops might throw me off. I love how the ends have buttons on them...silver ones.

THis week I plan to shawl knit with the Barking Dog Yarn in Haven. A simple garter shawl.
This week the kittens go up for adoption.
This week Fireman turns 50!





I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

I love Stephen West's patterns. So easy and clear, and the shawls are beautiful!

50 is so young these days!! Life is just getting interesting! Happy birthday Fireman and bye bye kitties.

Very pretty shawl. I should try knitting... no mojo though.

Happy birthday fireman!

I knitted Colonnade by Mr. West. I seem to recall one spot of confusion, which I addressed in my notes on my Ravelry project page.

Happy Birthday, Fireman! Won't your house be quiet with no little felines around? Love that shawl; is there a link to the pattern?

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...
