3KCBWDAY5 Improving Your Skill Set

By -
Today'a KCBW topic is Improving Your Skill Set. *I think you'll all roll your eyes if I say it one more time: Reverse Shaping ...someday. I have yet to find pattern that is completely written out for me involving reverse shaping. I've offered to pay someone to write it all out; I realize this must be a huge pain in the arse because no one has taken me up on the offer yet!
Of all the skills I want to learn, that is truly the ONE.
I do have another goal.....I want to knit a Barbie outfit....I am not kidding....
It's been a fun week of different kinds of posts. I've met some new bloggers thanks to 3KCBW.
More news from this week: I knitted a big old lace scarf. Really. I did. Katherine had given me the Skydive Stole pattern a ways back. The angora that I indulged in last year came to mind when I was leafing through patterns. Voila! This baby is so soft. I adore the color. Some things just take a year.....almost like having a baby....
Al is in love. Yup. I am so happy for her. New guy in her life.
I am newly recertified in CPR. A work task. So compressions now come before airway and breathing.... Push hard, Push fast......I think it sounds, you know.......well my mind must be in the gutter....
I am still rooting for Phillip Phillips....
It is the workend. One more to go and then I have a little break. I love to look forward to breaks...
How was your week? Did you enjoy KCBW in anyway?

WHAT?! OXYGENATION saves lives. Sorry. Former CPR instructor... quit because I swear they change the protocols just so they can sell new literature. Hem.

Love the Cheshire cat mug. PANK and cute.

Love that Al is in love. Fingers crossed he values the gift that she is!

I need to do some shaping too, but given that I can't finish any cardi I start anymore...

I've enjoyed your KCBW posts.

Sadly, my knitting has stalled for the last week (or has it been two). It is overcast and dreary here this morning, so maybe today IS the day to pick up the needles and knit few rows.

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 their boy.  Insufficient inf

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 have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I
