Hat Finish Number Two of 2014

By -
 My Slouchy hat is done. 
I finished it just in time for the latest blast of winter cold to hit….

This is Lang yarn in a colorway
that transitions itself rather….oddly.  
 As soon as I mention the odd shadow in this image you'll think I have a bulge in my cheek in front of my ear. 
I really don't. 
For a moment there I thought I was headed to the doctor….
but Fireman, former medic, confirmed it is just a shadow. 

 Pie and Roz and Tank have all tried out the new Hello Kitty Bed on the Dining room radiator.  Someone at the shelter makes them for a donation.   I have nothing purple in my house but I could not resist the Hello Kitty bed.  It washes like a dream.  
My cats sort of play Musical Chairs all day. 
Where one sleeps in the morning, another sleeps in the same spot in the afternoon.  Do yours do this? 
If anyone needs some snow, this is just a minute portion of it in our town .   Every corner of Chicagoland is stacked with snow.   So many of you who read Irisheyes are in the midwest, but this shot is for the rest of you …..
Snow walls…..
don't fall…
all y'all

The wall may not fall, but they do take FOREVER to melt!

Love the hat and the kitty bed.

That kitty bed is so cute. My kitties don't sleep in beds. They insist on hiding under the beds or in the closet when they are napping. Leftover habits from their feral days I suppose.
I also love the hat. I need a new hat so badly. I have nothing that works against this kind of cold. I'm thinking of something with a double layer. I'll have it done by spring!

Not enough snow here to make walls, but it sure is pretty.

I really like the hat!

Love the picture of the Hello Kitty bed and a very happy occupant. Too cute.

We have had the strangest winter weather. Today it was 80* and tomorrow it won't get about 50*. Then by the weekend? Warm again!

No wonder we all have colds.

I love the Lang hat! Beautiful colorway. I can just see a tiny snip of hair. When are we going to get to see the new hair style? I can't wait!!

The Hello Kitty cat bed is so cute. Macy and Max always sleep in the same place, one on my chair and one on DH's chair. They do switch occasionally just to confuse us.

Love that hat, Kathy, and so glad you finished it. The colors look fine to me. Our kitties each have their own favorite spots to sleep and do not like to share.

Your latest hat is both practical and pretty, Kathy! (I'm glad it was just a shadow :) Our snow is still stacking up on Mt. Hood, but it has been raining down here in the valley. And how could you resist getting your Hello Kitty bed...I am so glad your furry friends appreciate it !

No snow here still... now sunshine and freezing temperatures after weeks of rain, rain and more rain. I like the colours of the hat - an eye catcher for sure

I'll take the hat, or the kitty bed (even though I don't have a cat) and you can keep your snow.
Hugs,
Meredith

Personally, I like the slouch hat patterns the best (to wear), and I think yours looks very nice. I bet it feels great in the cold!! Pie looks so darned cute in the comfy Hello Kitty bed. That wall of snow may be there a while, eh?

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...
