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

By -
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!

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.

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.

This is a call for knitters to knit a baby blanket no bigger than a cookie sheet. Blankets will be distributed in the NICU where I work. We just don't get many blankets. We need them. Traditional baby colors will do, but we'd love you to branch out a bit. Use up those leftovers if you wish. You could win a lovely prize. All who send a blanket by November 1st, ALL SAINTS DAY, you angels you, will be entered in the drawing. Here are the rules: Blanket must be made of yarn which is washable. Sorry, Hospital rules. It cannot be bigger than a cookie sheet. Smaller is welcome also. That's it. Those are the rules. I'll post the prize by next week. Mail a blanket to me Kathy B if you need my snail mail address,email me at Harpnut@gmail.com
