Guest Blogger is Back!

By -

Fireman commented that I hadn't had a guest blogger in a long while. So, without further ado:
Here is the clerk at Fit and Frisky Pet supply in Evanston, Illinois. He didn't mind a bit.
If you can make out the knit up, it is my sister's new blanket.

I am knitting this behemoth on the needles that one of you so generously sent me from your
Stitch N Pitch giveaway. These needles make BIG stitches. I guess the supposed Rapture made me think I had to knit this fast for my sister.

I am sorry to join the Rapture for blog fodder, but it is just too irresistible.
Just in case the world was ending, I had my favorite dinner: Homemade bread and
sweet unsalted butter. Accompanied by a glass of chardonnay.

The thought occurred to me that if indeed, we were all going, I'd get to see my Huck again
and
there was comfort in that. I fully expect us to reunite someday in a joyous round of tail wagging and hugging.

Anyone who says there are no dogs in heaven is just crazy!! God wants us to be happy! I'm afraid I didn't give the rapture stuff enough thought. I didn't remember it until I was in bed and as I was going to sleep I thought, "I guess we'll either sleep and then rise or we will rise and never have to sleep again."

I hadn't heard about the Rapture stuff until Thursday night.

And you know I can't imagine a Heaven without my darling dogs.

How do these coo-coo's get so much press?"

Great idea to use big needles on a blanket! Wish you'd have posted this sooner, before I starte mine. Have you read Cat Heaven or Dog Heaven, both by Cynthis Rylant? Great children's books that adults like too.

I figure I'm probably not going. I'll be sitting here with my stash and trying to figure out what to knit next.

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...
