It's All About the Shawl Y'allI (Mizzle free Raverly pattern)

It's all about the shawl 
 Y'all
The yarn is set, you see,
It was not happy thinking
 it was a sock to be.

 Now that I know it's wishes
I can knit on cheerfully. 
It's very very blue
and it reminds me of the Lake
I Pick it up to knit it
and I don't fear the mistakes
  
It's an ordinary Tuesday and that's just fine by me,
are you knitting?
are you writing 
keep on going, happ-i-ly.

Love the color.
Perhaps on my way home I will go to 3 Bags to look at yarn. I just have to leave in time so I do not get caught in construction.
Knitting is what is keeping me sane at the moment. Well it is a distraction at least.
I have a procedure coming up and knitting has sort of kept my mind away from it. It has helped to when I have gone to the appt with my parents too.
Thank you for writing your postings.

I can see why the yarn did not want to be socks - it's lovely as a shawl.

Socks are being knit at my house - two separate pairs on the needles right now.

I should be sewing, but that is a disaster, so I will treat myself to knitting instead.

I like the redirected sock into shawl. It looks like it's coming along really nicely! Lake Blue it definitely is. I will try to draw on your inspiration Kathy!

I love the blue. It will be very pretty as a shawl. I on the other hand am totally into the sock knitting at the moment. :-)

Beautiful.

I knitted! The first meeting of the JLC Crafts 'n Cocktails met last night. Two knitted. Three drank and watched. One did wood burning. Very good times indeed.

And proud "mom" moment; the other knitter was a beginner in my April class! She cast on for project #3.

(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...
