Dorothy WINS and so do I

Dorothy won my comment contest. http://mommy-knitter.blogspot.com/
Head over to her blog to see some wonderful wonderful knitting. Dorothy you have to send me your snail mail so I can send you the prize!

I won big today too! Al and I visited Donna Boucher of Quiet Life today. Yes, yes this is the pretend friend Donna who I met at the Cub game a month ago. I couldnt' stay away. She is so amazing. Katie, her daughter is just a doll. Al wanted a road trip and Donna obliged.

She made us a delicious good old layered salad...the incredible one with the mayo and sugar and parmesan dressing. We went on a yarn crawl as that was my agenda...
The Sow's Ear is a must see shop in Verona Wisconsin. If you want a small charming shop with a coffee bar inside, you've got to go here.

Katie is a near professional yarn winder. She will happily crank away until your hank is a lovely perfect cylinder. Katie and Donna, what fun we had. Funny thing is, Donna will be in my neck of the woods tomorrow. DONNA the door is always open for you!

TOmorrow I'll post about my swap with Channon. She sent me a wonderful wonderful swap box.

Some days hold so much joy.....today was one of them (sorry no images. Blogger wont post them tonight for some reason.....)

Congratulations Dorothy! So happy to hear about your fun yarn crawl. It is rare to find a shop that will wind yarn, and so perfectly. I love those little round cylinders, especially when they pull from the center!

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...
