TGV THIRD SHAWL FINISH MONDAY

By -
 Beatles needed to be on the blog today, apparently..... He's your good luck black kitty.  *The witch is not mine.....she belongs to a house in Kenilworth Illinios* 
I just now cast off the shawl.  I think I have to knit some fingerless gloves next.   My arms/wrists are sore and I know better.  The weight of the shawls and yarn is beginning to show.   

 Just can't tell you enough how much I love this Susan Ashcroft pattern TGV, Tricot grande vitesse.   I am so thrilled I knit the first in blue acrylic for myself.  It drapes around me when I'm chilly in the house, and well...... knitting! 

 Recently read that it is really important to thank those who read and comment on your blog...Ree Drummond's post.  
So I cannot thank you enough.  I LOVE this little daily part of my life.  I LOVE hearing from you.  I LOVE reading your blogs too. 

 I Think it is an exchange, in a big big anonymous world.  A great exchange.  I am very diligent about leaving comments on others' blogs, too.   I know how happy comments make me.  

 For the lurkers out there, I appreciate you too.  I know some people just feel shy about using their words in print.  They are afraid they'll sound silly.
(You can see that's not something that runs through this mind! ) 

 So I will be hosting a thankyou contest very soon.  

 Thank you thank you thank you.  Happy Monday, and oh I got downstaffed last night......so I am overjoyed to have slept normally again last night. I Love my bed.  I dont' thank it enough....
thank you Bed.

Beatles made an appropriate showing in your blog today.

I have to agree that the shawl pattern is very nice, and it looks as though it would stay on one's shoulders quite well. It's beautiful; I like the contrast of the border. Well done!

You are funny! I am very thankful to all who comment on my blog and try to show that by responding to the comments - either with a reply email or by 'returning the favor'.

I know you perfer the square straight needles? Have you tried the square circulars? I find circular needles let the weight of the knitting sit in my lap, rather than be supported by my arms. Just a thought - pain is never any good!

I love it that you comment on my blog and often give me a chuckle when you do. Thank you.

I always read your blog even on the days I don't comment and value our blogging friendship.

But some days proving that I'm not a robot is a challenge. Isn't it sad that we have to do that?

I am right there with you Marguerite!!! Proving I am not a robot can be challenging! I reject more than I accept - the teen tiny numbers are the worst!

Anyhow, Miss KathyB - I LOVE your blog and I am thankful you read AND comment on mine faithfully. You were one of the biggest reasons that I am trying to pull myself together and blog faithfully.

Comments are wonderful things! :)

Sorry to hear about the downsizing, but sleeping normally sounds wonderful. Give and take, I guess...

Thank you Kathy!! I love you and I love your blog! (I also am a faithful reader of Ree's blog). It is special to me to share in the lives of so many wonderful women who knit and cook and love being wives and moms.

I am enjoying the TGV shawl and thank you for the link to it! I had some bug this weekend and didn't get to knit as much as I would have liked. I'll be back to it this week!

Glad you had a good sleep, Kathy, and that you successfully finished another shawl! Bravo(:
The silver cup in the photo you asked about on my blog is a tea strainer, but I have been using it lately to put a used teabag in when my cup of tea look strong enough to drink. Thanks for visiting me (: xx from Gracie

I'm just catching up on blogs after returning from a couple days camping/fishing/kayaking.... wonderful! I love your fall pictures, and the shawl turned out great! I'm being drawn to things other than socks these days, which surprises me. I'm thinking a shawl is in my knitting future. But yet I think I will cast on socks pair #10 tonight... and try to finish up on the Reader's Wrap this week. Thanks to YOU for keeping your blog fresh and interesting... I'm afraid mine is suffering right now, but perhaps I gain time and inspiration again soon.

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...
