Not Another Shawlette

By -

Well, yes it is another shawlette. Life IS Good Pattern has taken over my knit life.....A great friend commented she loved the colors, so it's hers when I finish. I did knit something else over the weekend, while at the movies.
I had a feeling I couldn't sit still for a whole movie without needles in my hands. I dug out some big fat needles and some acrylic bulky for the job. I know this is cheating. I knit a 2x2 rib mini blanket for the kittens, Elaine and Babka. It is not like I knit lace in a dark theatre.....
We saw Dark Shadows. It was very fun. Pure entertainment.
I was in a stupor by sundown last night...the post night shift stupor. But, the light was pretty so I crawled off the couch and took some pictures in my yard. Hence, the Columbine. I love how all their little heads are in unison facing the sunset.

Todays Ten on Tuesday is my own: Ten Things I Knit Over and Over:
1. socks
2. Life is Good Shawlette
3. Baby hats: HEy go see Chan's post today...she knit my made up pattern!
4. Cowls
5. Ribbed Baby blankets
6. Dishcloths
7. Raglan seamless sweaters.
8. Shawls
9. Big gauge afgans
10. Hats for my son. 1 8.

Wish I could peel hats from my son's head! I think he becomes very attached to them. There's never a time when he doesn't have hat hair. lol

Okay, the next thing you knit I am claiming right now to "love the colors". Hint, hint!

Knit what you love! That's all that matters. It's a hobby, not a job, right?

Socks and dishcloths for me.

But, now I can add afghan to that list. I started a king-size afghan this morning.

Kathy, I just saw you cap on Chan's blog. I make lots of baby things for charity and am always looking for a new pattern. I'd love to try your hat. Is the pattern available?

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...
