The Chair Share ....

By -
 You are going to see a lot of green around here while I knit the vest. 
I had the weekend off !!! and so I was able to knit quite a bit. 
This is the back and I have to start thinking about arm holes soon. 
As simple as the pattern I'm creating is, I still must use stitch markers to remind me of simple changes or I goof up.  
I've noticed: 
-Knitting in the round hurts my hands/wrists in this weight. 
Knitting back and forth: No problems :) 

Remix is not one bit splitty :) 

I've also noticed the 
CHAIR SHARE is on
here at Irisheyes. 
Uncle Tank is so good with Pie. 
The colder the house gets, the 
more the cats cuddle.....

Happy Monday.

Great progress on your vest.

Interesting how knitting in the round bothers your hands more than straight knitting. Do you hold the needles tighter when you knit in the round?

Sweet photo of Tank and Pie.

Very nice cabling!

That is odd that knitting in the round would hurt you. Usually, knitting flat does that.

I have been sick with worry over my outside kitties since we had this early cold spell. Heated huts or not, I hate that they would rather be out than curled up in a nice warm chair. I hardly slept a wink last night thinking about them out there in 20 degree weather. I am wondering how they will handle snow. We haven't really seen any since they showed up a few years ago.

Love the vest. You did make a lot of progress!

It looks like your vest is going to be quite warm. Very pretty so far.

The vest is coming along beautifully! The cats are so cute cuddled up together. They remind me of Macy and Max curled up in a chair together. It was 41° here today and they spent the day in a chair with an afghan.

Nice vest in the making, Kathy! Your cats are much better behaved than ours; they won't share anything no matter what. Their favorite warm spot is the registers, separate ones!

The vest is lovely and coming along nicely, but that chair share steals the show!

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...
