A Little Wisdom From Yoda

By -

Luke: All right, I'll give it a try. 
Yoda: No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try. 
So goes my new lace sock.  Do or do not, there is no try.  

 So I'm doing.   And I'm loving.  Casbah will be socks.  Outnumbered but not out voted, because I am the boss of the knitting.  (and I get to vote early and often) 

 (What Do you today?)

Today, I have plans to get slow cooker salisbury steaks started, visit my mother and then go to the pottery studio and do some glazing. I've let it go too long!
Thanks for reading and commenting.

Casbah is getting knit into socks? Sounds fabulous!!

I had to get rid of iGoogle today...and now...I can post a comment on your blog. I was having trouble doing this on several blogs. I'm no "computer head," but this action seems to have solved the problem...at least I hope so!!! This is my "DO" for today...and I am thrilled. Now on to other things...

Have fun getting those socks started!

 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...
