This is one of my great nieces ......Eva.  Looking at this image I took of her, makes me happy....

Katherine, Kim, Grace, and Jennifer and I are going to partake in the Pattern and Bookmark Take and Replace Swap.  Is anyone else interested before I make the route for the package?

I'm reading Domino Knitting by VIvian Hoxbro and 200 Crochet Blocks by Jan Eaton.  Both books were loaned to me by yarn friends yesterday .  Seems all I had to do was show them  a mitered square and the books appeared.  

It is the workend.....I'm bringing a big can o p'nuts to share with everyone.  My goal is to drink lots of water throughout the shift, watch my back, stretch once an hour,  and remind myself that I choose to work the graveyard shift right now.  

Happy Knitting to you

Did anyone ever tell you that Eva looks like you? There is a definite family resemblance.

I so admire nurses who work the graveyard shift!! Our son works the surgical shift from 3:00 to 11:00 everyday, but never leaves the hospital before 1:00 AM It takes a special person, and you are certainly one Kathy!!

Can't wait for the pattern exchange. It's going to be fun!!

That photo is precious - what a cutie!

Love the peanut idea, but throw in a few cashews, and I'd gladly work your shift. ;oD

She *IS* a cutie!! Take care of that back... and thanks for reminding me I need to do my back yoga routine.

Hang in there. The workend will be over before you know it!

Hugs and the peanuts will make you a big hit!

I love smiling babies. My great niece has the same sqinty face smile and fat cheeks. It's amazing how the all eventually learn to smile like us grown ups.

Domino Knitting was my first introduction to modular knitting.

Never had much luck with modular knitting. Guess I skipped that gene.

Looking forward to the pattern swap!

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...
