Knit Language

By -
Sometimes when I see little things like this coffee mat, I wish I knew how to sew. Isn't it sweet?  I know some of you are looking for ways to use your scraps; does this help?  
I love this. I'm going to go over the Etsy and see if I can find some. 



knitting pure and simple side to side pullover
I'm thinking about this side to side pullover.  I love Knitting Pure and Simple patterns. They are so well written.  Hmmmmmm.
I just may have to consider this next. 


Thank you for all the favorite pattern Ideas. 

I looked for each and every pattern that you suggested.

I had to google Pimpliesse .  

It's a skin condition as well as a pattern….



 Last night friend Karen was ON the Porch with me knitting, 

and Al was texting us.  Al and Karen are great knitters. 

I simply texted their conversation back and forth. 

Al needed help / suggestions for her Knitting Fever top. 

Half the time I wasn't even sure what they were talking about. 

I'm sure the satellites involved were confused too.

We do speak our own language don't we?

Argh!  I dropped a stitch!

Tink and frog ....I'm sure people wonder just what we are talking about! LOL But, we KNITTERS know.

The mug mat is BEAUTIFUL! Yes, stuff like that does make we wish I knew how to sew.

I've tried sewing. I just don't enjoy it. To each his own, I guess.

Say, I really like that coffee cup mat too! Wouldn't a set of those be great for getting the girls together for coffee and knitting???

The side-to-side shell looks like it would be an easy pattern to follow...and it's cute!

Coffee mats. Hmmm... what a great idea. Those would work so much better with coffee mugs seeing as they don't really fit into a saucer. I agree also about knitting pure (& simple). It has more of a classic look. Great top and color.

The knitting language is a funny one. I love it. I love the idea of you being a knitting conversationalist transcriber on the front porch. hehe. I can't sew either, but love the work of others.

The mug mat is darling. The hexie flower must be tiny.

Add "graft" and "stitches" and non-knitter must think we are surgeons!

Love that little mug rug! I have plans to make one. Eventually. Yours is just adorable!

Yes you can just see NSA agents trying to decipher what on EARTH we are talking abt! But you know there's gotta be ONE older head honcho who has a family member who knits and passes on that info.

I love that pattern, and yes we do speak our own language. How fun to sit on a porch and knit with a friend.

Oh my good golly!!!! That mug rug is right up Daddio's alley. He just got home from rehab and is bored out of his mind so this is just perfect. It's not to early to start Christmas gifts!

Funnily enough some friends and I were talking about 'knitter speak' just yesterday. Put a bunch of knitters together and they can sound like they are speaking in another tongue, which in a way I guess they are.

Cute mug mat. Hope you found one! Once I read of a reading workshop where "knit speak" was used to show what it's like not to be able to read and understand...... Did you decide to knit the sweater?

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 their boy.  Insufficient inf

 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 have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I
