My Indian Name would be:

 For everyone who swapped, thanks.
The first envelope arrived yesterday and cheered me up a bit, what with Al leaving and all.  
Lovely lovely yarn and this beauty of a bag arrived. 
I went onto the Ravelry site and saw many people used the
Bambino for socks.  It doesn't seem like sock yarn to me somehow.
Have you knit with this yarn? 
Tank snuggled up to Al this weekend. 
She admits he is very very happy with us. 
After my boo hoo-ing at the airport, 
I decided my Indian Name is
CRIESATGOODBYES.
What is your Indian name?

Again, Al is so pretty!! I am probably not the best person to comment on bamboo because I have had bad experiences with it. I do, however, know knitters who use it all the time and certainly make sock from bamboo yarn.

Since I woke up this morning with two dogs stretched out on top of me, my Indian name must be Awakenswithdogs.

I've knit a partial sock with some Regia Bamboo yarn and I ended up ripping out. The only way to describe it was floppy. Others knit with bamboo and are fine, me not so much.

So sorry Al's trip was so short. This is something I don't look forward to......

My Indian name would be Can'tDecideWhereToPutMyLaptop. So far I've been in the dining room, the kitchen, on the sofa with a fan pad, and in my craft room. I'm like LapTopWandersALOT. LOL

Hope Al had a safe trip home. I'm sure you'll miss your girl, but you know she's well and happy where she is.

My girl only gets home every few weeks for a weekend, sometimes only a day, and I miss her like mad when she's gone. Luckily I still have three close to home to soften the blow. I guess my Indian name would be 'Likestokeepherfamilyclose' !

Oh that Tank is a charmer!

My name would be: SittinAndKnittin

I don't like to knit with bamboo yarn OR needles, so I am a bad one to ask for any advice.

My Indian name would be "Knitsinsteadofcleaning". Perhaps it is an avoidance thing... When the needles are clicking I can't hear the dust screaming, "Clean me!"

Look inside the brown bag.

I'm glad you had a great visit. You'll see her again soon, right?

I didn't like knitting socks with bamboo and frogged... and haven't used the yarn for anything else.

All of your Indian names are amazing. !!!!
I think I may need a few names.
Channon I loved what was in the leaf bag...including the polka dots!

I think the bamboo is destined for a lovely drapey shawl.

That is lovely yarn! And the bag looks gorgeous, too!

I love snuggling with cats. At least when I'm not knitting...

That's a great photo of Tank and Al together! They are both beautiful! I want to cry for you missing her :(

FancyStitching took my Indian Name, so I'll have to go with QueenofCatchUp

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...
