 Help I cannot knit this headband for a few days.
The air is certainly electric here in the land of dry air and scarce indoor humidity.

I bought this luscious bleached out aqua yarn at a show a few years back and frogged my original thing this weekend.  When I knit with this soft wonderful yarn it's fibers sneak up my nose and my eyelashes.  I think I need to wear a mask and goggles like a snowboarder when I pick it up again to finish.  It will make an awesome headband.
This is Cindy.  SHe was the official *Kisser* at the Valentine shelter party yesterday. 
She gave kisses and raffle tickets out. 
She's a quiet little girl and we all stood in line at the kissing booth. 

 If Purebreds are your thing, Westminster starts tonight.  Olympic watching is at a peak here at our house.  I'll be trying to watch both events and knit.

Kissing Booth - what a clever idea. Who could resist that sweet face.

Ah yes, static!

We're afraid to touch anything right now ... even the car door gives out fearsome shocks!

That is some lovely yarn.

Seeing the yarn strands stand on end for lack of humidity made me chuckle. It looks like a bad hair day.

Puppy kisses...oh they are the best. Cute idea.

Your headband looks like a wild thing. Heehee.

Love Cindy the kisser! She is so cute and sweet. How could you not take her home. I know she would kiss your kitties and get along well!! Again, heehee!

Can you believe it? We had snow over the weekend, not real snow like yours, but a few inches. That looks like fun yarn! Cute doggy, too.

Whoa...that's pretty awesome. I'm having the same problem with the fiber I am trying to spin but not to that extreme. Another problem is my rough hands. It's like pulling wool through sand paper.
Love that kissing booth idea with the pup. I'd pay to give it a smooch.

It really is electric :) I am currently working with so called rheuma wool (SMC Fine Wool) for a project for Piecework. It is coming along nicely, although it does not go as fast as I would love to. (2.0 mm needles) But not static at all.

What about humidity... no complaints here! Quite a lot of water this winter, rain, rain, wind and more rain. (duh) Quite an Olympics so far... the speed skaters are doing very well.

LOL. I love the idea of wearing a mask over your nose and mouth when you knit!

Sweet little kisser! blessings ~ tanna

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...
