Knitting Bucket List

By -
Friend Kristine gave me kitten mittens....awwwwwww
I'm off and running on my next WIP...can you take a guess as to what it is? 
Friend Kristine also gave me this hot chocolate mix which she swears is the BEST...

Fireman was reading a Fitness Bucket List the other day and it got me thinking....

What would be on my Knit Bucket List?

Here are some of my thoughts,  please add yours!

*Knit a Lopi Sweater that fits me

*Knit in Alaska

*Knit for a grandchild's Baptism

*Write a Knit Book....
yes I really want to...

what else should I add?

(P.S. Is anyone planning a trip to Universal Studios???)

I have knit on a cruise that went to Alaska. I have knit on a ship that went over to Europe (due to a health issue I have been told not to fly).
I have knit at one of my sister's rehearsal dinner (there were a number of people there so it wasn't really an issue). I have knit at another sister's luncheon but I must admit it was more for demonstration than for my wanting to knit (the ladies there wanted to see how it was done).

efOh I love those mittens!

I would also love to write a knitting book (maybe we should collaborate!). Other than that, I don't have any things that immediately come to mind ...

A PANK baby hat in the works? Love the mittens...

I just want to have time and energy to knit... and to finish a cardigan again.

My knitting bucket list would have to have a sweater that fits on it. I have made lots of sweaters but there is always something not right about the fit so they all just live in my closet gathering dust...that and a lace something or other by Niebling.

The first item on my list would be to buy and read your first knit book, and then to knit every pattern in the book!! Now you are going to have a bunch of knit blogging buddies nagging you to start writing!!

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...
