Car Knitting

By -

I am in the land of cherries and fish boils and sunsets. The Mecca of the Midwest: Door County.
I neglected to bring my adaptor to download images from my computer so I grabbed this image from Yahoo Images. Folks up here cook whitefish in a kettle and then throw Kerosene on the fire to get it to boil over in dramatic and hot fashion. I'm not a fan of the meal. But I am a fan of just about everything else Door County Offers.
Have you been here? I'll be you loved it.

I'm knitting Colorjoy's Fast Florida Footies and I love the pattern. So well written and a fast knit indeed. I am finishing footie number one this morning. I may actually create a pair of socks again......

Off to find some quieter inland water and Kayak a bit. More later after some....
cherry pie...

That is a fast footie, isn't it? I have a pair I use as "house socks" when I travel.

Reminds me of when people set turkeys on fire.

Enjoy that cherry pie!

Yes, I've been through Door County, and it is wonderful.

Have a safe and fun trip and keep knitting.

Love Door County! Love cherry pie! I can do without the fish boil also. Sounds like a restful and beautiful vacation. Have loads of fun!

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

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...
