Favorite movie line....

By -

One of my favorite lines in one of my favorite movies, is spoken when the evil Baronness tells the handsome Capt. Von Trapp, that somewhere out there, there's a young lady
who will never...be a nun.

Well, here is a start that will never be a shawl....
Al started this shawl a few years ago. She got mad at it.. It has been stuffed in the bottom
of a large hawaiin print bag in my closet.

I had this dream that I was knitting lace the other night. I really was reading a chart and
knitting something very much like the shown shawl. (say that ten times fast, shown shawl, shown shawl...I can barely type it right)

I woke up laughing at myself Me? Knit Lace again? I have succeeded only twice in my knit life.
Once I knit a pair of lace socks for Al. Once I knit a lovely lace pink scarf for our friend Gee.
Then I gave up.

So something in my subconscious was telling me LACE LACE LACE. Perhaps the heft of my sister's blanket was actually the culprit. So I found that shawl Al doesn't want anymore. I ripped it out ....
I'm knitting a lace scarf.... the Skydive Scarf by Cabin Fever. Pattern from dear pretend friend Katherine who used to post more often.. ahemm....and I loved her posts.

I'll show you soon. When I knit more than 10 rows and don't make a mistake. I
hope that is ..sometime soon.

(Do you have another line from a movie that you love?
I have one more.
humor me please.
I stick my head out our back room window onto the screened porch and say " Heard the little
girl got a bump on her head....." I am compulsive about doing this.....about once a month. I have to...
do you know who says that line in a favorite movie of mine???)

I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

Maybe, "I'm mad as Hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore" from Network.

But, that may just be THIS week. LOL

The shawl certainly is a pretty color.

Isn't that one of the guys in the Wizard of Oz? Tin Man or Scarecrow? I don't remember their names as farmhands...

Gunifer...you are close. the line about the bump on the head is the wizard himself from the wizard of oz. When he is the fortune teller.....in black and white.

I know! I've been a bad girl--I've had a blog written for a week and can't get time to take pictures and post it (trying to get ready for our trip).

I'll bet you could finish that shawl but the scarf will be a good lace project too!

We are always quoting the line "I think we're going to need a bigger boat. Really it was, "You need a bigger boat" but close enough.

You responded too soon. It didn't give anyone else a chance to guess the answer.

Lace sometimes takes time and patience. I love knitting it even though I don't do it often enough.

I knew that bump on the head line! I, for one, think that your exiled, embryonic shawl looks loverly. I hope you didn't frog it.

"You dense, irritating, miniature beast of burden!" Not you, it's a favorite movie quote.

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 their boy.  Insufficient inf

 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 have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I
