 The simplest of knit ups is a new dishcloth. 
I was between projects and needed quick satisfaction.
It was high time for a new one in my kitchen. 

Our sidewalks were glazed in ice this morning. I shouted, 
TWIZZLE to Fireman as we headed to the truck. 
He did 
not comply….

My little Cub Antennae topper promises Baseball will return. 
I often spot my little Honda Rhonda by the Cub topper. 
Do you have a way to recognize your wheels from afar? 


Finally this Friday, 
I'll be sad to see the Olympics end. 
Silly me, I thought we had another week to go. 
They certainly helped pass the time during the harshest of weeks here in Chicago. 
My favorite event was border cross, followed by 
pairs ice dancing…
how about you?

Nice dishcloth, Kathy. You have more ice? We had a touch of sleet here... We find our car by using the "check if locked" feature on the key and it will honk. No Olympics watching here, sad to say, as we don't have cable.

I have some dishcloth yarn languishing in the stash. Thanks for reminding me it's a "quick" knit -- so says Kathy! I was saying Twizzle too much at home. I like to twizzle in my socks, the boys won't try and synch theirs with mine, how rude!

I really liked the biathlon, and all the ice skating controversy. I wanted to watch more hockey and the kid found Skeleton interesting.

My "car" is pretty easy to find....I'm the gunmetal Subaru Forester w/the Saris bike rack and Beaver College tag holder on the back. Oh yeah ---- there is a "Defend the Bay" sticker on there too. ;-)

Awwww...no twizzles from fireman?

The short program ice dancing was my favorite this year.

I have a "Mystery Science Theatre 3000" decal on my passenger-side window; that's almost always how I find my car. All the Vandy stickers on the back don't hurt, either.

Not much Olympic watching here, seems every time my husband puts it on I am watching curling, not that it isn't fascinating and all.... Did see skiing last night, very exciting.
Hugs,

I didn't watch much of the Olympics, but kept an eye on the highlights.

My car has a black Toyota logo on the front (it came with the car) and I've never seen another one like it. Of course it does me no good if the front is not visible in the lot. The license plate makes for easy spotting, too.

Nice dishcloth...I'm just about due for a new one too.

I've enjoyed watching the Olympics! Ice dancing is always my favorite. The speed is some of the other events is mind-blowing to me. The snowboarders were impressive too. Amazing tricks!

My car doesn't have any distinguishing marks. If I lose it in a parking lot, I'm in big trouble. Even worse...when traveling...how about finding your rental car in a shopping mall parking lot!!

Can you believe that I didn't watch a single minute of the Olympics? First time ever! I have been listening to a couple of good books on my iPod and knitting along. It has been so peaceful that I shunned TV altogether.
Your post reminds me that I need a few new dishcloths.

I didn't watch anything this year, but I love all the ice skating/dancing events and the ski jumping. Probably because I don't think it's possible that I could err learn to do either... ;)

I have a variety of Mickey Mouse antenna toppers, which I change based on the season or my current whim. :)

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...
