Second Stocking Cap Finished

By -
This stocking cap  turned out to be a better fit for a toddler.  I think it will make a lovely baby gift nonetheless.  Just think if the baby has a big head , it will fit it sooner.  I think a bit big is better than a bit too small to wear.   I enjoyed using up the leftover yarns and the whimsy of the whole thing.  

Tonight I hope to cast on for my 6th pair of socks in 2012.   I bought into KnitPicks clearance sale last week.  

I am counting down to the Olympics, are you?


I'm sleepy after the workend.   So that's it for tonight.  
I'm hoping we get some storms with a decent rainfall. 
There's a chance....

Your cap is so cute!! I love the way the stripes look when it hangs down in the back. They swirl! I can see that I didn't make my "tail" long enough so now I have to knit another one to get it right. LOL!

The hat is CUTE!

Sunday evening a nice thunderstorm came through and brought cooler temperatures and even a bit of much-needed moisture. I wanted to go dance in the rain.

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...
