Wednesday :Nothing But Knitting Post

 Sue W-H was kind enough to send me an image of her Comment Cap knitted up.  Darling, Sue!
 I ran into my friend Diane at 3 Bags Full today.  She is knitting this fabulous Furrows Shawl.  It is gorgeous. I think she said you cast on a million stitches.  Isn't it gorgeous?????
 I picked this Berrocco yarn in a very unusual for me orange color way.  I am knitting up a simple cowl I found on Ravelry in my favorites.  It is a simple 2x2 rib folded and sewn into a comfy cowl.  I thought it would look great with a brown, white, or yellow toned shirt/top in the fall.
Somehow I have 5 projects going at once.  This is, for me, unheard of.  My prediction is that I will finish the 2x2 cowl first even though it is the last cast on......

Whats on your needles??

Beautiful peachy color! Your cowl will be beautiful. I am working on a Life Is Good shawl, loving it and enjoying the easy, relaxing knitting. Thanks for the idea!

LOVE your colors - will be perfect for that fallish look!

I have several projects going at once because my hubby and I are about to hit the road for a 600 mile trip to visit my MIL. Two different socks, a Wingspan shawl and Cat Bordhi's Rose cat bed. Might cast on one more thing before we leave next week.

Love it all. Sue's hat is darling, and I don't mind casting on a billion stitches because it generally means I won't have to bind off as many. Will have to explore that pattern.

LOVE that yarn. That 40th bday joke two friends played on me backfired and I now am quite drawn to some shades of orange. Go figure!

lovely yarn and a beautiful shawl. On my needles: a pair of socks mostly done, another version of my shawl - barely started, a shawl I'm knitting along with my daughter and friend, and the modern quilt wrap which is more than halfway done and I'm so over. g

That shawl looks like it would have a lot of stitches, but it's very beautiful.

 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...
