Hat Modeling

By -
Al is modeling her gift hat.  This is a late Christmas finish for one of her most favorite Virginia ER nurse friends, Keisha.  
I recognize the pattern from a cowl she knitted last year. I wonder if she just adapted it to a hat.  AL?  When you wake up from nights can you give us the pattern, yarn and yardage please??

I"ll be giving my the last of my Christmas 2012 gifts tonight at my girlfriend Jen's house.  I will be gifting some Life is Good shawlette scarves that I knitted last winter.   We never manage to get together until well after the Holidays are over. We celebrate two of their January birthdays at the same time.  
`
The trouble with knitting the blanket for my family is just this:
I don't have much new knitting to show on the blogola. 


Kitten WATCH:
Lucy Lou is all too comfortable.  I don't suspect there will be babies today but anything is possible.   I'm guessing 5 babies, Fireman is guessing 6.  
Lucy Lou wants an epidural and a push present.....or so she says...
Mothers these days !!!

Lovely hat. Sounds like a full day at your house! Is Fireman home to be on kitten watch while you go to your party?

Al is so pretty and talented! I like the hat and would appreciate having the pattern.

A little catnip would be a good push present for Lucy Lou. Have a fun time tonight. I love extending Christmas into the New Year!!

A Push Present is a newer thing...whereby the mother gets a gift for PUSHING the baby out...

IM not about Push presents. I think the baby is a lovely gift for BOTH parents..
I think it is a Northshore thing around here...

I hear you on the knitting crochet front, not a lot going on here because of needle felting and the crochet ripple, love Al in that hat, she is adorable. Have a great time,

Oh...I can't wait to see those babies. I'll forgive the lack of knitting if you give me some kittens!

I agree with Lucy on the epidural. What is a push present?

My friend, Mary, adopted a boxer from a rescue group in Penna. about four weeks ago. Last night the little miss presented Mary with 8 new pups (5 boys, 3 girls). SURPRISE!

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...
