New projects

By -
This is my new wrap.   I get to spend time with my sister and her two dogs this weekend.   There will be knitting time.  The pattern called for mistake rib, but I made too many mistakes so I am knitting plain rib.  I couldn't read the stitched well enough in mistake.
Zach was  dis appointed in me for not GETTING his new shirt.    Do u get it?

So I didn't get mistake rib
Didn't get the t shirt 
And I was completely baffled about the car running after I shut it off the other night.
Seems I hit the remote start on my way into the house......
All this and yet I can handle a premie on a ventilator, oscillating with vasopressors without any trouble....

Bilbo Baggins and Frodo?

The new wrap looks great. I've taken the plunge and started a sweater!

As for not "getting it" --- different talents for different folk.

I love the wrap. You always come up with such great patterns!! This would be a good one for the office AC so I will be looking it up for a possible project after the Spring Ruana which is now a shawl so it will go faster.

I do crazy things everyday and hope it is endearing!

It's Frodo and Gandalf! Or Biblo and Gandalf?

Some days I just can't do anything right. I'm having one of those days today.

I think you are perfect just the way you are! Just stop and think about it...so what you did not do the other things....you always do the important things...like saving a baby's life.....what in this world could be more important than that! :)

I loved the Hobbit, but I don't get the shirt's message, either. :o(

I'm not a fan of the mistake rib stitch,so I wouldn't knit the wrap in it. Enjoy your visit with your sister and happy knitting!

Happy Knitting on that nice wrap! The things you do for preemies are a matter of life and death, Kathy. That really matters!!!

I knit the first row of the foot of a sock about ten times this afternoon until I got it right so anything you do or don't do won't surprise me. My brain left the building ages ago. Sigh.....

Out of all those activities, without a doubt, it is best that you shine at the last one... the rest... it's just icing on the cake! A wonderful cake at that!! blessings ~ tanna

I like the vest pattern, and I bet it will look great knitting it without the "mistakes." Ha. Sorry, but I don't "get" the t-shirt. Not to worry... you are on top of it on the important things!

Hobbit fan from way back here, and if that's what the shirt is about... either way, I don't get it.

Pretty wrap!

 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...
