One More Gift Knit

By -

I'm gift knitting even though I said I wouldn't.  

I have one scarf left to knit and then I'm ready. 
Why do we do this to ourselves? 
But, oh we do this to ourselves.

Pie was spayed on Thursday. 
She is so good and leaves her stitches alone.
I did find her eating ashes in the fireplace the day after.
I've read cats do that when the have an upset tummy. 
(Beatles is wearing the Santa hat )

I gave the slippers to my great niece yesterday, and they fit like magic!   I had my first Christmas cookies of the season at the party yesterday.   Should I go through the trouble of Cut out cookies?

I finished my last gift knit last week, and oddly, feel at a loss ...

I'm glad Pie is doing OK. And Beatles in the Santa hat is the best! Please kiss both of them for me.

Off to bake some cookies ... :-)

Yes, definitely make the cut-out cookies, frost them, and add some sprinkles. To me, nothing says Christmas like a cut-out cookie.

I'm doing gift sewing today, but not by choice. Sigh, I'd rather be knitting.

Glad Pie is doing well. Do you have a cookie spritzer to make spritz cookies? Faster than cut out cookies and less waste.

We do it, because we are adrenaline junkies! ha! no, because we think we can find one more way to make the holidays pleasant. I say you cookie however you like, make low stress cookies or no cookies. After all ... you're knitting :)

So happy Pie's surgery went well. It's always such a worry.
I just bought a ton of Christmas cookies at the local food store on a whim. I just can't find the time (or motivation) to bake this year. Maybe it's because I am the only one here this year to eat them-and I WILL est them.

Love the kitty photos! I see they are staying close to the yarns.

A frosted cut-out sugar cookie is hard to beat for Christmas! If I were going to be stopping by, I would for sure encourage you to get baking!! LOL.

I have one more project to go and I am done with Christmas creating, then it is back to normal creating, I am going to love that. Yes on the cookies.
Hugs,

Good on you for helping control the pet population. I hope Pie heals up quickly.

Merry Christmas!

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...

Insufficient Information

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...
