Overachiever leggings

I was so proud of my legwarmers for Al, until I saw THESE on Ravelry today....
THe funny thing is, these would actually be very fun to knit up....

I hear there is a new fair isle book out. Heard yesterday on a news show that you are supposed to do something that terrifies you once a day.....
really?
I'm so not about leaving my comfort zone...

Have you left your comfort zone lately??

Oh boy did I leave my comfort zone today!! I went Christmas shopping and came back:
1. Alive
2. Tired
3. FINISHED (with the gifts that have to me mailed).

I will now hibernate for a few days.

Those are just overgrown socks.


Daily adrenalin rushes from terrifying yourself can't good for you. The fight or flight syndrome has its' place and it is not in your life everyday.

Actually, I'm starting to suspect my life motto is "What comfort zone?"

Those are cool!! But I don't enjoy fair isle so much...

I'm not sure what my comfort zone is, so I didn't leave it today.

Those are really cute, but I would NEVER EVER finish them!! :)

Comfort zone? I live there and rarely venture out. I guess I'm a chicken!

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...
