Nicole's Contest Prizes for ME!
Bookwyrmknits.wordpress.

I also won a pattern from Ellen
at Theellenreport.blogspot.com

I chose the AUGUSTINE shawlette pattern for my prize. 
(Check out their blogs.....good fun.) 

I'm a kid....I LOVED the Mickey Mouse
pen and keychain.  
The misti Alpaca prize yarn is so soft 
I want to just carry it around all day..
but it is going to be fingerless mitts for sure
when I knit it up. 

NOW for my blog contest:
You have until tomorrow, Monday evening,
to enter.  

May I just say the the Stitch marker prizes are adorable....
the Yarn prize is so nice I want to keep it:
Malabrigo Sock Yarn in Abril
the most gorgeous purples you can imagine. 

and I'm off to find
the last prize for the third winner:
that Blackhawks fever prize.

Hopefully the Hawks can pull it off tomorrow.
It is my husband's birthday tomorrow and he is a big fan of the Hawks. Wouldn't that be a great birthday gift for him if they win?
He has a number of birthday meals coming to him and we are going to a local place in Glenview tonight for dinner.

Your backyard is gorgeous!! I love Misti Alpaca too. I even knit socks with it once and love to wear my alpaca socks. They said it couldn't be done--or shouldn't, something like that! Beatles,as always, is precious on his leash!!

I loved seeing the contrast of seasons in your yard too. Very nice pictures! I like that Beatles wandered into a photo too.

I see on your newly designed page that you have stayed off the Coca Cola for nearly two months! Way to go!! Keep it up!

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...
