 How cold is it?  It is so cold that the Cubs and Brewers looked like this in Chicago the last two nights......
Al says it was 80s in Virginia the past two days....
Here is a shot of her cabled hat still holding up great.  This was, of course, when we visited her the week before Easter and it was 50s and 60s outside.

I went through a box of knitting hats and scarves the other day .....
why do my less than marvelous finishes last forever ?
I never seem to lose an average hat.   

I have been working often and there has been less knit time this week....
it makes me squirrelly....
I need a good sit and knit....

what's making you squirrelly?

Same thing is making me squirrelly too!! LOL! The weather has been crazy. It was 90 here Tuesday afternoon and then the rain and cold came again... Now, it's 40! Crazy! Did this last week, too. blessings ~ tanna
ps when you figure out why the less marvelous items never go missing, please pass it on to us. ;)

It's 20 degrees F. as I write this comment. The ground is covered in a thick blanket of snow (12 inches) that fell on Monday. I'm ready for moisture of the more liquid variety!

I must say that hat on Al is fabulous! Love the big cable work. Your daughter is a very good model for your work, by the way! Well, this cold, snowy weather makes me squirrely. Staying inside, stoking the fire, doesn't seem too "spring-like." However, I am getting some serious knitting done!! Ha.

No knitting time here either, I hope to rectify that tonight. It was 90 here yesterday, really?

... the power flickering for hours on end. It drove me to give in and walk the dogs, even though I knew it was too hot outside. I needed to get out!!

The current weather certainly makes me squirrelly. It's 39 degrees in Fort Worth today. Hasn't Mother Nature heard that it is Spring?

Medical insurance! Pain in my anterior region.

Had an eye exam today and because he wants to check something further, I have to return. The insurance company doesn't like to pay for two procedures in one day. :-(

Al's hat looks great!

The issue with not having enough "time to sit and knit" is making me squirrely, too. Granted, I could be spending my other relaxation time knitting, but there's been so much else going on that I haven't gotten in as much knitting as I like. Oh well. Being this crazy-busy won't last forever! :)

It being 90 here this week is making me nuts. I am not ready for this heat and am regretting wishing winter away. I would rather be covered up than expose the parts of me that are not ready to be exposed quite yet.

 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...
