Last FInish of 2012

By -
 This is how the Beatle Bug lays on Fireman daily.   He is the most relaxed cat we have ever known....I just love him so.
Using up the stash at 2012 year's end: for these fingerless gloves for Al.  The thumb business I thought was an error actually worked out fine.  This gives me hope that I can make real gloves with fingers.  In the past the finger join messed with my knit head. 
I think I finally get it without a pattern telling me how to do it....This is nothing short of a Christmas miracle...

I won't recap all my knits this year.....but I have knit many things and better yet, given many away.   I stash busted big time. 

Thanks for riding along with me this YEAR!!!  Those who leave me comments make my every day.  Those who lurk, keep on coming back.  

IT is the workend.  I have big news about that coming up and a contest to celebrate.  
I do make resolutions so they will be in my next post. 

There seems to be a Bowl game for everything from Oranges to 
Tampons...or maybe not that yet....
but enjoy your weekend of sports if you are a fan!

I laughed out loud at the tampon remark-so true. All I know is that football has been on the TV 24/7 for the past few days. It was 1 am last night before The Mister gave it up and went to bed. Who is playing at that hour and why?

 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...
