Fishin and Stitichin

By -
 Our favorite Vet, Captain Larry took us fishing yesterday.
Fireman and I both love to fish. 
Fireman and Larry were pulling in walleye.
I wanted to bobber fish. 
I know what you may be thinking…
Geez she's a lazy knitter and a lazy fisher! 
All that casting and reeling is okay, but I can't SEE what's happening under the water when I jig so why do it? 
I much prefer to use a bobber and get all excited when it goes under.  
I knitted on the current Trap on the way up and back to Lake Geneva.  I'll finish it today. 
As you can see it was a cloudy cool day but it was perfect for fishing.
And the fish were biting, literally.  Fireman got bit by a walleye and it was a bleeder.  Have you ever gotten bit by a fish?
 Fishing for a summer project? 
This little dress is Adorable. 
I found it at 3 Bags Full studio on the wall. 
Looks like a lot of shaping to me, but it also looks doable. 
Fish tales anyone?

No fish tales or tails here.

Love the little dress - an adorable knit.

Sounds like a successful day of fishing...and oh do I love to eat walleye. My dad used to catch them and fry up the filets.Oooh..yum.

At first I did not realize the dress was knitted. Oh my goodness, that's really cute!

Owwweee ---- hope Troy is okay.

Yes ...I've been bitten. I got bit in high school by a dead shark.


We were dissecting sharks and I was holding the mouth open so we could count the rows of teeth. My hand slid off the top jaw and it clamped shut on my hand.

So, now I can honestly say I have been hit by lightning AND bitten by a shark. Maybe I should play the lottery.

My Dad loved to fish and he believed catfish tasted better if kept alive until it was time to prepare for eating. There were many times I would find a live catfish swimming in the bathtub which is why I always shower and NEVER use the bathtub. Even now! I do, however, love to eat catfish!!

What a cute dress!

I hate to fish. I used to be a bobber girl, but then in the course of three casts, I had a run-in with a catfish that cut my hand, an eel that bit my cousin, and a water moccasin. The end of me and fishin', and any time I need to run harder, I remember running from that snake.

My mother loved to fish. We always had a freezer full of bay blue fish and flounder when I was growing up. She also was a crabber and all summer long we had a kiddie pool full of the mean little things in the middle of the kitchen floor as they must be kept alive until cooking time. I don't eat crabs anymore but I still put Old Bay seasoning on everything.

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...
