#1  Zach is writing blog posts while he is studying abroad.  He'd love a comment or two.
His photographs are wonderful and his writing is magical.  Head over to

http://inmersoleon.blogspot.com  and tell him his Mama sent you!  

#2 The Take and Replace Pattern Swap has started. YIPPEE.    I mailed the envelope to Kim yesterday.
One thing :  Celia, from SapphireBlue, I need your mailing address to put you into the rotation.
Please email me: harpnut@gmail.com

#3 Now for the knitting content:
I am going to try to seam some mitered squares together today.  My plan is to crochet them together.
I watched a video or two on line and the tutorials were good.  I think I need more coffee before I attempt this -

I'm preparing for some car knitting next week.  Mitered squares seem to be the choice at this juncture.  We'll see what I think after I seam the above mentioned squares together today.

After knitting one bookmark I am hooked.  Pun intended.  There will most definitely be more made for the winter Holidays.   I used the BACKBONE Bookmark pattern , free on Ravelry.  Originally Kiersten Brandt's pattern on www.knitoneblogtwo.com.

I had knitted one other bookmark,  years ago.  It was a tiny long stocking and it was adorable.  However, I am not into all those little turns on tiny circulars right now.   If my square connections fail, I can knit bookmarks in the car right??

(Guess what I am listening to this morning?? Lionel Riche's Tuskegee music.  He sings duets with many other vocalists.  All that wonderful old music, new again.    Deep River Woman with Little Big Town......for one.  Check it out!)

That's all my rambling for today.  Feel free to ramble back...

I stopped by your son's blog! WOW! He is a fantastic writer. Oh --- good photos too. I put it in my Google Reader to go back and read more carefully later.

I'll tell him his mama sent me. LOL

I usually knit socks or dishcloths while traveling. Good luck with seaming your blocks together. I would never attempt it - you know crochet hooks and I do not get along well.

Now, I'm off to check your son's blog. . .

I am following your son's blog now - I told him his Momma sent me! He is a great writer (should I be surprised? You are a fantastic writer yourself!) and photographer. You sure he won't be mad that all these people who know his Mother are following him? My daughters would be mortified!!! lol

I was going to ask you for the bookmark pattern - thanks for sharing. Don't forget to make some pocketbook slippers on your road trip!

I hate seaming and need to learn how do it correctly.

I am heading over to say Hi to your son. Will he think it is crazy all these middle aged women (speaking strictly about myself) are reading his blog?
Happy Friday,

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...
