The Sea Wool Florida Footies ......
I love this wool. I am certainly going to buy some. Katherine, thanks for a fanstastic gift.
This wool is a dream to knit with......I give it 4 double points.

The New Marilyn Monroe statue in Chicago.......I give it one double point. I can't knock artists for trying. I won't give it the Hook, the crochet hook that is, because art is in the eye of the beholder. It certainly has gotten everyone's attention and whenever art does that, it succeeds on some level....

Elavil for Rosalyn. Yes, Rozzy is officially on an antianxiety for cats. Poor dear thing. She hasn't been calm since we were away on vacation. She's been miserable, vomiting, crying, wandering the house.....Today she went to our wonderful Vet Kristine Preiser. She is napping now, and calm for the first time.......in too long. I give it 4 double points.

Red Sock Yarns, Top of the Hill Shops, Fish Creek WI, Door County.
4 double points hands down.....kneedles up.
The woman who helped me find some yarn for my friend Channon was sooooooooo nice.
She was soooo nice to everyone in the store and on the phone...
She offered great dining tips, ( I asked Ala Rachel Ray) and said if she
could help me with ANYTHING during my time in Door County she would.
WOW.. Terrific customer service

Here's my rating system

4 double points ........the best
the hook.....the worst

What's in between? Stay tuned. And please, give me a review of your yarn!! I'd love it

LOL...I love your rating system! Malabrigo Rios...4 double points! All the color and soft of Mal worsted, but washable! It also has a nice twist and is incredibly springy.

I knit with 5 dpn's so I'd have to change the scale a little.

Hmmmm Interesting yarns - have to find out if I can get them to our country one day to try ;-)

at the moment knitting with Hifa 2 Ull = scandinavian sock yarn. A bit rough looking, but with a super warm result. 3 double points from me

KnitPicks Gloss - 2 double points. Not great, not horrible. Final review once it's blocked.

Sanguine Gryphon Bugga Bugga - 4 double points. Great color and twist.

Good customer service makes all the difference, doesn't it?

They give Elavil to kitties? Rozzy is probably mewing, "I feel gooood!"

So glad you are enjoying the Sea Wool!

Marilyn Monroe gets a better rating from me than the baseball bat or the clothes pin.

I'm knitting with Grignasco's Merinogold and it is so good it's right up there with Malabrigo!

 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...
