LIttle Yarn Crawl

Al took me to her local yarn shop. Wow. Windy Knitty is a great bright wonderfully stocked yarn store. The girls there were very nice. Why does buying new yarn make the whole day good?

I am going to knit Al's leggings in these two different yarns. Fair isle ahead! I'm very excited to get off size 2 needles....

But being the strictly monogamous uptight knitter that I am, I have a toe to finish on my current pair of socks before I can cast on.

What is ahead for you?

Three cheers for monogamous uptight knitters!! I wish I could be one also. My multiple projects get me into a world of hurt! Nothing ever seems to get done.

Love the yarn in sooooo pretty colors.

Can I have whatever medicine that you have taken to be a strictly uptight knitter? I'm usually very good about projects, but I can't stop casting on... what do I do!?

I love that shop's window. The pirate skeleton made me LOL!!!

What's up for me --- some nice, slow, relaxed knitting on my lace sock (maybe with a Starbuck's latte at my side).

Have a great weekend.

I've been mostly monogamous but I did cast on a pair of socks last weekend. I haven't got past the ribbing since I went back to working on the sweater.

I'm planning to dye yarn with my nephews and knit something special for them to give to their mothers this Christmas. I'm also going to make some triangle bags for knitting guild gifts so I have a pretty busy time ahead of me.

Love the L&D pumpkinscape and that PANK yarn!

A quiet night in is ahead with some almost monogamous knitting on my capelet and maybe the mohair cardi too.

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...
