Skydive Stole

By -
 So sorry for the small images.  
I am so happy to announce I found the perfect project and the perfect yarn......
I had frogged a previous half knitted shawl with this yarn in the summer.  
Katherine sent me the Skydive Stole and Scarf pattern by Cabin Fever a long time ago.

So after I finished frogging and donating yarns, I went through my patterns and this one shouted to me. 

This is a lace knit up with just one row to repeat
over and 
over 
and over
and I love it. 


In other news, Pie is now grooming Beatles on occasion. 
I've never had cats that groomed one another.  
Pie's eye infection is gone so we'll hope for the best now. 

The weather took a quick turn and its very gloomy today.
Gloomy weather affects me. 
It is my goal for it not to affect me. 
After all, I'm not in the gloomy weather alone.

How do you chase the gloom away?

The yarn is beautiful...and it's going to make a wonderful stole. Good choice! The weather is gloomy here today too. We don't USUALLY have too many gloomy days, so I don't have many coping ideas. Stay busy...well,...and knit!

The yarn is perfect for that shawl! It is going to be gorgeous. Strange thing about gloomy days--I love them! My Mother liked to go for a walk on gloomy and chilly days, and for some reason she liked to go to the movies when it rained. Me--I laugh in the face of gloomy days! HA! Let's take a walk.

We just had a week and a half of gloomy weather that almost did me in. I like a rainy day but not when they last forever. Starting a new project always perks me up when I am down. I must have been really down because I started three new projects.
I can't wait to see that shawl finished!

I have Gg in my lap. That chases the gloom away... even when I have to go back out for a meeting and she'll be ticked...

Lights, candles, turning on my pretend fire in the fireplace, praise music, and stitching on a project help me chase gloom away.
I'm glad you found a new project to enjoy, Kathy :)

Oh, I'm so glad Pie's eye infection is gone! She's such a cute little kitty. And the colors in that stole are wonderful! That should be enough to chase that gloom away right there. :-)

Oh yeah, this is the perfect yarn for the stole.

Sun is shining here today and temps are perfect for Fall.

Gloom is chased away by upbeat music and a jigsaw puzzle.

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...
