Inspiring

Joany's baby sweater inspires me. She is knitting it in Berocco Comfort and I guarantee it won't itch. I want to make one similar to it in pullover fashion. You know, I 'd avoid a button band and a v neck if I make a roll neck raglan.....

Meg's cabled top is Vogue inspired. Meg is a serious clothes knitter and she's darn good.



Carol is making this gorgeous shawl for herself. I am so thrilled it is for her. Her eyes are going to look so beautiful when she drapes this beauty around herself next spring on the beach.
Carol has me wanting to knit one for ME! When I decide to, remind me to use the exact yarn Carol is using, because it is perfect...and oops, I've forgotten the yarn name. It is a funny name...
I'll get back to you!

I've casted on with Major Jennifers stash sale sock yarn. I was going to knit the leg of the sock in a pattern, but I failed miserably while trying to watch TV and follow a simple repeat....so everything I knit during TV time last night....was frogged this morning...

Has a fellow knitter shown you something you are just dying to try to knit up?

I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

I agree, that shawl is gorgeous! I am seriously tempted by Grace's latest Pi shawl to knit another one for myself. When I have knit Pi shawls in the past I feel like it is never going to end--around and around and around....

I love the shawl too. I've been knitting a some shawlettes lately. They go so quickly, and I like having a memorizable pattern.

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...
