Color my World

By -

In that I am working on the color cowl I thought I would add some color to the post today.  

I love this girls chalked hair.  So so so cute.   Al should do it in the e r for the kiddos
- what the heck maybe I'll do it too for my birthday this year ????.  I'm going to be one of THOSE old ladies..

Do you need a little beach color about now.  Just ten days into January????  We are going to get into the forties today in Chicago.    Lots of snowmelt , black ice at night and dirty cars.  The birds are so happy with the warmer weather, I need to be as observant as a bird .  

My noro cowl is pure pretty,  lots of ribbing and satisfying to see such progress quickly. My most colorful yarn choices seem to happen in the dead of winter

Finally I will leave you this Sunday with this thought

Do you think you love color images or black and whites better??

I like both ----- some shots just really pop when you go black and white. Others need color in them.

All in all, black and white. Shadows make you think.

It depends, sometimes color sometimes black and white, it depends on the subject matter.
Hugs and have a colorful day.

I love b/w portraits better than color ones: the person's character seems to come out more in b/w.

I like both... it depends! ;)

I think I'm going to give up on finding "Sissy's needle" and cast on for a cowl I've had open on my laptop for almost a week.

Great post. I need a little color. I love B&W but not in January. I want to chalk my hair too. I had a kit in my hand and put it down because I am a chicken.

I like both too. We've got strong winds and melting snow too. Temps in the 30's for this week. It sure beats that below zero stuff! I'm looking forward to seeing your colorful Noro knitting!!

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 have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
