Not Nearly Enough Knitting

By -


The weekend was full of gatherings.
We had a wonderful time last night at an old friends' home.
Mark and Mary Ellen met at McDonald's and were married. 
Fireman and I met at the same McDonald's at the same time and we married.  There are 3 other couples we know from that time in our lives that met under the arches, all working there, and have married.  
Clearly love is in the french fries…

I didn't get to knit nearly the amount I wanted.
I did get to see Mary Ellen's whimsical garden creatures. 
My friend Diane, from work who is a great knitter also, has an incredible garden with little fairies in and  around it. 
Mary Ellen has a smattering of fun flags, butterflies, cats and dragonflies in her yard.  It doesn't look overdone at all.
I'd like to do more of this in my yard too.

When I don't have the needles in my hands for a certain part of the day and then the next... I develop this crazy tic….
just kidding.  I do miss my knit time….
it is my zen,
my quiet,
my practice.  

So there was little knitting but I'd like to think we wove some wonderful times together this weekend.  I think my whimsical friends are my favorites….
crazy loves crazy dont' you think?

I can testify to the fact that crazy loves crazy and that they are simpatico! Actually, I like to hang out with a bunch of crazies because then we all feel normal.

I love the garden fairies and elves. It makes a garden feel lived in. DH says that during a crisis or stressful time, "The worse things get the faster you knit." I think he is right!

Love under the arches would be a great commercial - you should share your story with corporate!

My knitting has stalled this week. I haven't knit a stitch in five or six days.

That is so funny! Who would have thought love could be found at McDonald's?!

I love crazy, unique people, too. There is no reason that crazy has to be a bad thing!

I love that dragonfly -- so colorful.

I love that you are all still happily married, it must have been the fries. I feel that way about knitting, too must be why I am a bit crazy these days, not enough time to knit.
Hugs,
Meredith

What a great story! I love how all of you met at the Golden Arches together and married later. How cute is that?

I know how you feel when there is not enough knitting time. Sometimes all you need is a row or two at the end of the day to feel ... complete.

One of my very elegant friends calls it "cray-cray." I am definitely feeling close to cray-cray every day.

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...
