Thumbs Up Thumbs Down

 Thumbs down for the pop out scones.  They taste just like crescent rolls with blueberries not like real scones....
Thumbs UP for the noro work.  I'm making Pickles Plain Vest for a one year old I know and love.  I hope to finish today.  Thumbs Up ! for the simple pattern writing.  If all her patterns are this clear and easy...I'm finding more of them.  I 'd actually like to convert this one to adult size...I wonder if it would work??

Beautiful vest! I would think that it would convert to adult okay, if you don't want darts or such. There are quite a few simple vests and cardis already though on Ravelery for adults. I look at patterns I like, then yarns already used...

Shame about the scones, but thanks for the warning.

Thanks so much for trying those scones for me..... I have been eyeing them in the grocery store and now I will turn my nose up at them and just make my own!!! That is usually how it goes tho, homemade generally wins over "store bought". Oh no, great, now I am feeling the need to go home and make scones. Thanks lady!

You know, I have heard mixed reviews on Noro - some love it some hate it. I certainly do love the colors!!!!!

I can't imagine that scones from a box would be much ... now that you've reviewed them I won't even give them a try.

I suppose home made is ALWAYS better anyways.

I've never seen those scones, but if I do see them, I know not to buy them. So sad.

Your noro looks fabulous! Can't wait to see the finished vest. g

I like Noro yarn colors, but it's soooo expensive. I guess for a small project, though, it might not be too bad.

I've been disappointed with box mixes many times; homemade is usually more tasty!

The Noro yarn is making a gorgeous garment! That's a winner!

Wow, the vest is gorgeous! I love the bright colors of Noro.

I didn't realize scones were available in pop-cans. Sorry to hear they aren't too tasty. Nothing like a good scone and a cup of tea to start the day.

Very pretty colors. I'm sure your little gift recipient will be thrilled and it would make a beautiful adult sized vest too. I'm crazy about scones, especially Starbucks scones!! They look pretty good to me!!

Sad to hear about the scones. I'd love to have a quick and easy scone option.

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...
