If they say you should surround yourself with great people and you'll be a better person for it, I have all my knit pals to thank. Carol in the first picture, is knitting a Berocco Suede Shawl. Joany B. in the next image is knitting a entrelac dishcloth. The stories we tell as we knit, are complex pieces of who we are. It is good for me to hear their stories. It is good for me to tell mine. This is the real meaning of knitting together.

Sometimes, Joany B., says it is the Bloody Mary talking, but we listen anyhow. Sometimes we
laugh to the point of snorts, and sometimes we puddle up and sniffle together.

But it is all good.

I wish my pretend friends could knit together under the sunshine......

Berroco suede is so pretty. Have you seen the cute bootie patterns using it? (One is like moccasins and the other like Ughs..so cute.) Wish I could have seen the entrelac dishcloth up close!

Knitting together is so much fun, indeed. And women of all ages are brought together.
Thanks for your comment on my blog. Reading Mary Oliver is so soothing, isn't it?

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...
