A Week of Thanksgiving....

 Here we go: I'm thankful for three amigos in the image below......
Zachary, Alejandra and Helen.   If this is the youth of our tomorrows we are in good hands.   They are all that youth should be: excited about life, embracing different cultures, and ready to take on the world.
I am thankful for the opportunity to knit a gift for Alejandra.  She will be the recipient of the Drop Stitch Cowl.  Yarn: Ella Rae Lace merino Chunky.  Pattern: free on Ravelry: Spiderwomanknits Abi gregorio Connors.

Helen is learning to knit.  I think I'll send her some yarn.....she was most appreciative and awed at my last sock in progress.  She had that, Mind blowing look on her face...when she learned the yarn did all the color change and pattern work for you.

Happy Thanksgiving Three Amigos....

Beautiful "young people" and beautiful knitting! It's fun to share fiber arts with others who really appreciate it, isn't it?

The recipients of your knitting projects are so fortunate! Isn't it wonderful to be in the company of young people who are kind, motivated, excited, and grateful?

What wonderful faces!! They look so happy. There is no greater gift than to assist a young person in satisfying the need to knit! Especially a young person who is awed by the process. You are doing a great thing by sending her yarn. We should all send her yarn!

What a wonderful group!!! :-)

Happy Thanksgiving to you and them.

I have to admit, I've been knitting self-striping socks for a long time and I'm STILL amazed at how they do that. LOL

They certainly are beautiful, inside and out. So sorry to hear about your car! That just stinks.
Hugs to you,

Eager faces filled with promise is what I see in your photo.

High five, for self-striping yarn!

What a lovely glimpse of the drop stitch cowl. Lovely, eager faces in your photo. I don't think I'm worried if they are the future. Enjoy sharing the joy of knitting. g

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...
