Milestone comments, 10,000

By -
This is my great nephew Jaxson wearing the blanket I knit for his big brother 5 years ago. His mom is TERRIFIC at thanking us for hand knits. I think I need to knit him something else soon. His mom is married to my dear nephew Ryan. Her mom, Barb, fought and has beaten ovarian cancer. Yes you read that one right. She had innovative therapy and she's several years out doing great! Their family really knows how to survive a struggle with grace. It is a joy to have them in our lives....and of course, they appreciate knit gifts.
I have to thank you all for comments. I went over 10,000 comments since this little blog began in 2004. I just went over. I will find a prize and award it for this milestone. A thousand, well no, ten thousand thanks.
Speaking of comments, have you been asked to subscribe to my blog?? I am being asked to subscribe to many of your blogs...I read them all daily anyhow, so I don't' think its necessary. I wonder why this is happening all of the sudden this week. Anyone have the answer?
Elaine and Babka are hanging in there. Sometimes I call Elaine, Laney. I'm almost getting confident about their surviving......thanks, keep the wishes/prayers coming. I think they feel it!

What a little doll! Isn't it great to know your handknits are treasured and used?!

Wordpress is ticking me off. It's now emailing me every time someone else comments on a WP blog where I've left a comment. Is this happening to you too?

Wow, that's a whole lot of comments! (I don't even know how to calculate that....) Glad to hear that the kitties seem better and hope it continues.
That little Ryan is a cutie. No wonder you like to knit for him! Good news about Barb also. Ovarian cancer is a tough one.
No, I've not been asked to subscribe to anything but have rec'd the Wordpress emails that someone mentioned.

Half the fun of blogging is getting comments and making new friends. Congratulations on your milestone!

Yes, I've been getting invitations to follow some blogs, but I've ignored them because I read my favorites on Google Reader, which eliminates the need to "follow."

What an adorable baby and a beautiful blanket. I love when people actually handknits rather than saving them as too special.

Congratulations on receiving 10,000 love notes, for that is what they truly are dear Kathyb!!

I know what you mean about the subscribing thing because I've received some of those emails too. The amazing thing is that I have been a subscriber to your blog and others for some time and I'm just now being asked to subscribe. Can Blogger get any more strange?

Hi Kathy, I'm glad you left a comment when you visited my blog a few days ago!! Since you were new to me, that's the only way I knew you were reading! I hope you will come back. I love knowing where my readers are reading from. From someone who doesn't knit at all, your knitting is beautiful!!

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

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...
