Have You Seen These???

The new Forever Stamps....Owney the Postal Dog. I had to have them.


Channon was my swapper and sent me FIREMAN yarn. Purrfect. Who knew? Have you seen this label?
Does it mean a portion of proceeds goes to Firefighters??? And as if the label wasn't enough I love the colorway even more!

I've haven't seen that colorway but then I don't look at yarn a lot these days. Are you going to make socks with it?

I'd seen a blog post about Owney and the stamp a couple of weeks ago. I need more stamps and think I shall order a boatload.

Glad you like the yarn. I need to ask Chief Knight if he'd like a tie out of the ball at our house...

There is a special, special place in my heart for Opal Sock Yarn! I'm not surprised there's a fireman colorway!

Grrrr I am so mad at blogger, I can not see the yarn, can you sent me a picture via email so I can see it?

I don't know why this happens, your night picture comes through just fine, the stamps picture is there.

I want to talk to you more about new shawl, I don't know how tight you knit so you may have to cast on a sample and tell me how many stitces you get to the inch so I can tell you how many to cast on!!!

My word verification is arthritis which is killing me this morning!

 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...
