What do you look forward to?

By -

Radar looks forward to a bit of butter every night. Just a dab. He comes to the table and reminds me that he deserves a bit of buttah....
I think this started after Huck died. I loved to give Huck treats. I think we all need things to look forward to; I know I do. I realize this defeats the living in the present frame of mind we are supposed to strive for these days. Anyhow, I cannot resist his obvious request each night..



I am looking forward to casting on the second Simply Ginny Cabled sock. I hope to get to it today. I have to admit that I couldn't use this yarn (Paton's Kroy), without the new needles I splurged on. My new Signature needles have a great point that keeps yarn from splitting. I am not 100% certain that I prefer them to wooden needles. I wish they GAVE a bit. They don't give.
Since I have not been known to bend metals, yet, I'm looking forward to a wooden needle with just as sharp a tip. Do you know of one???

Other things I'm looking forward to:
*reading your blogs

*eating a Pretzel bagel from Einstein Bagels this afternoon
(yes I need more salt in my bread....apparently we are getting too much salt
in our breads these days, but I'm throwing caution to the wind with this one)

*talking to my kids today

*sending out Valentines...

*photographing Al's cat Helo who is visiting, today


I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

Love that yarn. So pretty.

I'm looking forward to dinner with a friend, a snuggle with my dogs while I explain to Sissy that it's raining and Mama doesn't walk in the rain when it's so cold...

My poor double-points are very bent. I was thinking about getting the stainless steal Addis, but I don't know how it will go with the fact they don't bend.

Short term I'm looking forward to the weekend. Long term I'm looking forward to April for the 15th and the weather!

What a sweet kitty face that is. He deserves two slurps of butter.

I love the cabled sock!!

Wow 1600 posts! You are amazing. I laughed at the fibers getting in your eyes and nose, that happens to me all the time I am constantly itching while knitting or crocheting. My Max loves his peanut butter and begs for it all the time.
Have a wonderful day,

I've never had a pretzel bagel. I'm a big fan of salt bagels - hard to come by in New England, so they're a treat when I visit my parents. At Christmas, I had a turkey sandwich on a pretzel roll. SO GOOD! I have to figure out where to get these rolls or learn how to make them!

Your kitties are adorable!

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...
