So So Much Knitting Goodness

 Look at these adorable BLACK cat stitch markers…
(ETSY says AL) 
I love that one has yarn, one has a mouse, 
one is sitting up…they are toooooo cute. 
Thanks Al. 
 Fireman…er SANTA gave me a swift from Knit Picks. 
Al was a the first to help me with it. 
It is has a stripped wooden screw, but I think Fireman has a quick fix for it.  I don't like packing things up and sending them back; I will however, call customer service monday and discuss things with them. 
 When your girl is home you go to the Three Bags Full Yarn Studio that helped raise her with you. 
Then you find her some new patterns and yarn and 
it is all good.  

Yarn: Malabrigo Mecha 411 Green Gray
Pattern Quince and Co. 
Britsol Cowl.  
AND it's all very very good. 

New knitting by you ?

Lovely!!! (except for the stripped screw :( When Teresa, Betsy and Taci were here on Friday they showed me how to knit Continental style and I am hoping my eyes and fingers can master it this time around. I want to knit more and faster!!! xx

I am trying to finish a scarf for my father--made the hat but the scarf takes a bit longer.
I am also doing a shawl. If only I had it when we went to my parent's club for dinner tonight it would have been perfect --colors would have been great with what I wore.

Malabrigo is divine to knit - enjoy!

Definitely call customer service - Knit Picks is really great about sending replacements.

I love my swift and use it ALL the time.

Tell Al Hi and welcome home for me, we have missed her. Love the new stitch markers and swift. I am still old school using the back of a chair as my swift. I made two Rite Cowls from that very same yarn, it is the ultimate in yummy!
Hugs,
Meredith

Al is adorable!!! Hope you can get your swift problem swiftly fixed.

Two new yarns happened my way this weekend. I met up with Meredith at Knit n Kibble and what do you know, some yarn found it's way into my stash. LOL

Have a Happy New Year!

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...

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...
