We need a little silly right this very minute

By -

*The skies are so grey around here it is ridiculous, so we need a little silliness. Please suggest some for me!

These are my lorna's laces socks. I used CaroleKnit's picot edge for the first time. Love this trick and will use it again and again. I love Lorna's Laces sock yarns more than any other. I have told Santa's helper, (AL helps fireman in the knit department...) that I'd love another skein of their sock yarn. Any colors will do.

Beatles provides some silliness around here. He is now 6 lbs and 6 months old. He checked out very very well at the vet yesterday. Everyday is Christmas for Beatles...all he wants is your lap and some toys to play with.

What are your GREY buster ideas? ANy silliness is appreciated!



I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

I require chocolate on rainy days. Have you tried the Ghirardelli pumpkin caramel yet?

I went on a short Christmas shopping spree today and found some cute little gold lame coin purses for girls' stocking stuffers--sure to bring a smile on any cloudy day! Most days, however, I agree with Sissy and go the chocolate route!!

How long did that hat stay on? What a cute, cute picture of Beatles. Thanks! As for the dishcloth, one was just 29 stitches with a border and using something called the sand stitch. The other pattern was on the ball band. Try this one: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/diamond-mosaic And thank Dee! It's very pretty and interesting. THere's a new fair isle book out called 200 Fair Isle Motifs~that'd keep you busy for a while, eh?

I'm not much help with silliness...but cloudy days require tea and a fire! I'm a fellow lover of Lorna's Laces. do you have the button?

I think an impromptu dance party with music blasting is always a good thing! Those leggings are amazing, by the way :)

 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...
