Lorna's Laces Stockings Hung by the Chimney ....

*but just for this post. They are so soft. Again, you'd think I worked for Lorna's Laces, but their sock yarns are just like buttah to me......
You cannot really see the picot edge at the cuff top, but it is different and I love it .

*I'm planning to listen to December Peace piano music by Stanton Lanier later...a gift from my friend Sharon just this morning.

*I've already cast on another pair of socks. The awesome thing about sock knitting that I love is their usefulness. How wonderful that eventually they wear out so I can knit more. I have to broaden my horizons with sock patterns this year. Kick it up a notch.

*Sock knitting settles me. The little parts of the sock used to stress me and now it is like I am walking a beloved path when I switch from part to part.

*My friend Sharon also brought over the most wonderful gingerbread cookies. They are so moist and I never make them, so they are a huge treat. I wonder if there are premade gingerbread cookie rolls in the stores to cut and bake...

IS there something you love most to knit???? Is there something you listen to when you need to settle down?




I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

I agree that sock knitting appeals to my sense of order. From one step to another and before I know it a beautiful sock emerges. Yup, it's my favorite. I haven't done any sock knitting in a while but I have cast on for some slipper socks in--guess what--Lorna's Laces

I love to knit socks.

I love to listen to the soundtrack from the movie Philadelphia when I need to settle.

Sock knitting is the perfect knitting project - small and portable.

Although it is a dream to knit with, I'm not a big fan of Lorna's Laces: it pills and blooms too much after washing for my tastes.

Classical music. This time of year, Christmas music, chamber style.

I love to knit variety... but you knew that! ;)

There is refrigerated gingerbread cookie dough. You just roll it out anc use a cookie cutter. Or, I have just taken it out of the tube and made small balls and baked it that way with a little granulated sugar on them.

I think I saw a mix in a bag as well. Betty Crocker I think. I made a package of Betty Crocker peanut butter cookies this weekend and they are delicious. There oatmeal ones are good too, even better if you add raisins, dried cranberries, chocolate or butterscotch chips. Yummy and easy 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...
