Pippa and the kittens one week old

By -

There is a very little kitten, but it is hanging in there. I keep telling myself to let it be. Nature knows best. Im going to call her Beatrice, Bea, let it Bea, if she is a girl. Pippa is warming up to us so nicely.

I finished one suede shawl in green. Im giving it to Karen R. She loved the color. I've started another in a pink/coral shade. To finish the other, I added 10 stitches to both sides of the shawlette as the yarn came to an end. I knitted about 4 rows straight then. IT gave it nice WINGS to tie. Karen helped me with the WING plan. :) she is a great teacher.

Happy Weekend. Me and the radio jockeys and air traffic controllers, and firemen and policemen, and Race horse trainers, and doctors, and dispatchers, and all the other night shift workers are beginning our strange shift work. It is nice to think I am not alone up in the wee hours of the night. It is also nice that the sun comes up before 5 now and it makes the long night seem so short!

Can you try to get the little kitten a bit of extra mama time so he is sure to get fed? Cute kitties. :)

You and shawls--how wonderful!! I would like to see the suede shawls. I'm tempted to knit one myself.

Your babies are so sweet. I would love to cuddle them all.

I wake up in the middle of the night and think about my shift workers (nurses and fireman) and, yes, when it happens on the weekend I think about you too! You are all heroes in my book.

 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...
