 Tis' daffodil time here in Chicagoland....
in the stores that is,
not outside yet.  
That won't happen for at least another month. 

Al shared some stories with me this week:
A mom came to the ER with her child and told Al she had a fever of 114.....
and
that her daughter vomited "The size of a queen size sheet." 
What lack of rest and quiet will do to a mother's brain eh? 
 On the knit front the shawl is so nice to knit...I love the colors.  
I finished another drop stitch cowl this week. 
Kudos to whoever made a drop stitch error part of a design feature. 
It works!!!!

Yes we SPRING forward tonight and in my mind I still gain 23 hours because I'm not working night shift!!!
Oh it was so fun to push that clock ahead at  0200 ...
but I don't miss that magic...
I'll be in my bed this year when the TIME changes 
HOORAY

 and Happy Birthday Barbie...I still love you.

I like to fall back but spring forward is not too fun. I do not get enough sleep as it is.

Gardening has been on those shopping shows on TV. It is too early here. Snow on the ground doesn't make that possible.

Last year between March 14 and 22 we had those days in the 80's--hard to believe.

I'm worried our snowfall killed the daffodils that were just pushing up through the damp earth. Heaven knows the earth will be soft enough now...

No knitting, but so very much reading. Ebb and flow, and the knitting is ebbing, it seems.

We're getting a "spring" storm that looks a lot like winter, and it's heading your way. At least we can appreciate spring flowers inside.

The shawl yarn is really pretty.

I remember the first scarf I made with the YO dropped stitch. Slick! Yeah, makes you wonder if it was a mistake that turned into a design element!!

How I wish Daylight Saving Time was outlawed - who are we trying to fool?

The only blooms around here are in the stores. I bought some tulips two weeks ago just to remind myself that they still existed.

Very little knitting happening at my house.

I'm really a fan of Eastern Standard Time. I like snuggling into the darkening afternoon and cooking a nice supper.

Not so much when it's light out until almost 9. :-(

Hope you have a great weekend.

When I was a first grade teacher, I dreaded the time changes because something happens to the children's brains. It takes weeks to straighten them back out and get your old students back. Now that I am retired it doesn't really matter but I do feel more productive with the longer days. Now if only the sun would get high enough in the sky to put some sunshine on my deck!

Wasn't it just yesterday that we fell back? Yikes! Our daffodils are getting bigger by the day, and I'm hoping they don't do their thing while we're gone! Love the colors in your shawl!

God bless nurses!!! They hear and see it all!

Your shawl is such beautiful colors and the cowl is super.

Thanks for the time reminder. My head has been in a hole and I would have forgotten!

You are a knitting maniac right now. That poor Mother, her brain has been fried by staying up all night with a sick little one.
Hugs,

Wow! Hospital work reminds you that you can't fix stupid.

We don't have any flowers coming up yet.

Lovely daffodil picture! The shawl still looks great, too.

What's the cowl pattern? Are you on Ravelry? If so, I'll look you up. (Or you can look me up - I'm bookwyrm.)

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...
