Souvenirs

Look what I got!!! Al went to Ireland and I got an adorable Irish Wooly Jumpers Knit Bag. 9 crazy sheep with shamrock on them adorn it. So I have 2 new project bags now after winning my Dishrag Tag V bag. A knit girl needs her bags!

I have 3 Christmas cowls to knit. I'm halfway through the first one. I'm using supersoft merino and alpaca yarn. More to come on this front.

As for the follow up to the needles that broke in the cold on me last week, here goes. They were made by Swallow mfg. and created from a milk by product. I don't know about milk needles for me. I love love love milk. A glass of cold milk with something chocolate is a must. If I am out of milk, I won't even touch chocolate.

I like to have milk with salty pretzels too. I know, weird. My father used to put ice in his milk all the time. I'm a skim milk girl. I must have milk with cookies too. Must have milk with pancakes and bacon. I adore Tres Leches milk cake. I have to have milk with tomato soup too.

How about you? Got milk?

I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

Want to hear something ironic: I grew up on a dairy farm and can't stand to drink milk.

Love, love, love your bag! Oooooh, I am so jealous.

I like milk with ice and Oreos neither of which I usually have any more since I'm on soy milk. I had the best Tres Leches cake in San Antonio from an authentic Mexican bakery. It was my first time having it and it was devine.

Can't wait to here more on the cowls. I'm making some for Christmas gifts too.

Looking forward to the Christmas cowls.

I am a milk guzzler. I drink three glasses each day but not with anything in particular. It's a little weird though that I have to have coffee with ice cream.

I almost always order milk when eating out. I've done it all my life. You'd think by now I'd be used to the weird looks servers give me

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...
