I am Tightly Wound, Are You

By -
I , almost always, have to wind the yarn into a ball before I begin to knit. I've been tangled to many times..  
I like one start and one finish.  I don't like those inside pulls..one little bit. 

DO YOU?

 I am usually very happy with a coke. 
Sometimes, I want a change.
Do you have a favorite Mocktail to share?
Do you like a fleece scarf.  I have to admit, 
although I'm a knitter, there is nothing softer than a fleece scarf.
For shame. 
Do you forgive me?

LOL! Yes, you are forgiven ;)

I am usually a bubble-mineral water drinker, but from time to time I love Cassis (black berry drink) and seldom Cola

And I wind my yarn too before starting.

I am a person who like to wind into a ball as well. When I have had the inside pulls I have put the yarn in ziplock bags and had a string out of it on one side and the other part of it zipped up.

I am coming a bit unraveled this week. LOL

I wind almost all my yarn into yarncakes, but then I work them from the outside of the ball. I don't like how messy center pulls get toward the end.

Except for the very, VERY rare diet Coke, I'm and iced tea or water kinda girl.

I prefer to use yarn cakes and nearly always pull the yarn from the center. I don't like my yarn to roll around when I knit.

Try heating a Dr. Pepper (regular or diet) in the microwave with a squirt of lemon or even a wedge of lemon. It's great on a winter day.

I recently started a project without winding the yarn first. Big mistake!! Personality-wise, however, I am not tightly wound but rather laid-back in my approach to most things. I guess that is why I would start a project without winding the yarn in the first place--hmmmm.

Diet coke for me always!

I admit it- I love fleece - scarf or sweater - they are just so darn cozy!

Ever since DH gave me a swift, I'm a yarn cake person, but I never knit from the middle of it or a ball. Fabric, yarn, love 'em both. I'm a fan of caffeine free diet coke but probably should drink water!

I love fleece too. I would rather wear fleece than a sweater and I am totally ashamed by that.
As for the ball, I also agree. I do use my swift and winder but cakes do tangle especially with fine yarn. I always pull from the outside rather than the middle to be sure.

Fleece scarves are certainly faster to make than knitted ones... ;)

I love center-pull balls! Not sure why, but I do.

WHAT? A fleece scarf? Not you, too! OK - BF wears fleece hats and scarves much to my dismay. Your cat is a very good sport to wear your fleece scarf. Very funny. :D

I love a fleece scarf too.

I have a thing for bubbly drinks too - Prosecco!

I keep trying to like center-pull balls, but I make a mess near the end.

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...
