TIny Pictures; Big Issues

By -
 The vest has begun.  I'm doing a daisy stitch. 
This is as far as I got after ripping out the daisy stitches twice. 
It is going to be a very very very slow go-
why?
Because after just 2 days my right wrist hurts...
Socks never hurt my hands...never...never ever
 AL's looking for a cute boy baby hat pattern.  She has 4 friends who are having boys this fall. 
I LOVE the little cap above.  It is from the  Vintage Knits for Modern Babies book.
I bet that stitch would hurt my wrists too-
 All my images are from my iphone today. 
They come out small on the blogaroo

This is great nephew RJ showing us how he climbs the walls. 
My kids did the exact same thing growing up.
I had to send Al a photo of RJ. to remind her of her antics.  
You do strange things in the winters in the Midwest when you cannot get outside to climb around! 
Finally, thank you ALL who confessed to night time
snacking right along with me.
You made me feel so much better. 
I saw these muffin tops at Panera today;
I passed. 
That counts for something right?

I'm off to start a second sock..
are you climbing any walls lately?

It DOES count for something. You walked AWAY from the calories.

Wish I could say the same. I ate some sweets at lunch that I really should have not eaten......should have just said NO! THAT has me climbing the walls.

I WISH I could find some self-control.

My kids used to play a game they made up called Swifter hockey, they used Swifters with the duster thing on them, and made hockey pucks out of Gatorade bottle caps and had a grand time. I had at least 6 separate Swifters so everyone had one.
The vest will turn out, the start is always the hardest and use circular needles, they are easier on your hands/wrists.
Hugs,

Just like Dee, I want some self-control. My snacking has been out of control the whole month of July and the scale reflects it. Ouch!

Let the vest marinate a while if your wrists are bothering you. Perhaps you are more tense knitting on the vest than you are socks which is why your wrists hurt. Just a thought.

You get so much more done than me, Kathy! You inspire me to keep trying...even when my projects inspire me to climb the walls :)
I like doing relaxing little projects like knitting a dishcloth along with tackling more complicated projects. So enjoy your new sock, then visit your new vest again... maybe that will rest your wrists?

I love the baby hat! It look like moss stitch which is one decorative stitch that doesn't hurt my hands or wrists.

Those muffin tops look delish!!

Love the color you're using for the vest but sorry it's hurting your hands. And thank you for suggesting that Vintage book (as well as the sock pocket one!); I'm working on that cute capelet, and am going to check out that hat! BTW, great photo of Tank!

Oh - sorry the daisy stitch is hurting you - it's very Purdy. Those muffin tops look yummy and leaving them counts for lots! Happy snacky knitting. g

I had a cinnamon crunch bagel tonight at Panera. Now I wish I had bought two.
Ouch...too bad about the wrist. I am terrified of getting carpal tunnel so I take wrists very seriously.

I'm eating an ice cream cone as we speak and those muffin tops sure would go good with it. I always have trouble with the daisy stitch too so I can totally relate. Seems like the pretty stitches always hurt the most.

I can't knit if it hurts.

The Knight brought me a Twinkie last night on his final pass through the kitchen, but I returned it. If I'm going to splurge, I want it to be worth it.

I'm climbing the walls here at work. I soooo need a new job.

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...
