Sweet Friend Linda's Irishy blankets

By -


My dear friend Linda is knitting again. She took a break for awhile. Life got busy for her. She amazes me. Look at the FO and in progress afghans she knits. They look Irish to me.

Happy St. Patricks Day. My little foster cat is so unhappy; still no kittens. I was so hoping she'd have them last night. Hmmmmm, I don't want her to try the usual labor inducing tricks...
(Sex is out of the question! ) One of the things being a foster has taught me, is to trust Mother Nature.

Im so hyper technology oriented after decades in the NICU, I have to remind myself that Mother Nature knows more than I do.

Its back to the workend for me! Do you think I can get fireman to get up and check kitty momma tonight? (He's already delivered babies....but his SLEEP needs trump all!)

Hope kitty mama is comfortable soon.

 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...
