Purple Cauliflower, Blue Cheese

By -


Farmer's Market Images for today's post. I'd like a Yarn colorway in Blue Cheese. I love those colors.

*I hit my 8000th comment yesterday. Katherine of Comfortzone, and long time pretend friend, was the lucky person. She wins a prize from an Etsy site that I picked just for her. It is a surprise so I won't say what it is just yet..

*I'm on the last skein of pink/coral suede. It is lovely. I don't know how to FINISH it off though. Fireman says fringe would overwhelm it's delicate look. Any ideas? It needs something to finish the edging....

*The kittens are uber adorable. Little Beatles is still oddly small, but is right there with his pride and very much a member of the team.

*Porch weather is outstanding. I am off this weekend from work. If I do nothing other than sleep tonight at a normal hour, it will be relished as vacation. It already is.

*I bought gluten free potatochip pretzel cookies today at the farmer's market... does this mean I fell off the no potato chip wagon??? Do chime in please

Maybe a little ruffle? Just several rows of increasing every few stitches. Can't wait to see it finished!

Enjoy your super relaxing weekend! Woohoo--no middle of the night working.

sticking with crochet, how about crab stitch all around to give it a nice finish? I do think fringe could look nice.

I've never had purple cauliflower but I love blue cheese.

I agree with a crab or shell stitch border

I've never seen purple cauliflower in the stores around here. It's interesting.

How does the purple cauliflower taste? I haven't seen it before.
I'm not a fan of blue cheese but I love Ranch dressing!
I think a little ruffle would look good.

Blue cheese makes my world go 'round. I'm guessing the summer heat means the Knight won't be smuggling any back in his suitcase when he goes to Wisconsin...

You know the sound Homer Simpson makes when he sees, or even thinks about, something he'd like to eat? I am making precisely that sound looking at the blue cheese.

 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...
