The Honeycomb Cowl

By -
 Once upon a time, we had a pattern swap and someone gave me this pattern.  Was it YOU?
The Slipstitch Honeycomb Cowl by madelintosh worked up easy as a summer breeze.  

It is long, so I double wrapped it around St. Francis' neck. 
Total cost of yarn: 16.00  
Silky merino.  
 We have a new door bell. :) 
When the little girls visited last week they marveled at:
an old fashioned doorbell
radiators  (what are those) 
a box television (not a flat screen) 

I've put a new post up at Threebagsfullcorner.blogspot.com
Thanks to all for your support there.  

Happy Monday' keep your eyes to the skies,
we are expecting storms in Illinois.

Wowzers! What a beautiful color cowl -- St. Francis is stylin' in that!!!

Up until a few months ago, all we had were box televisions. We finally went flat screen after having one in our vacation rental in Philadelphia. Nothin' better for watching football!

I still have a box TV and will until it decides to dies. Heck, I had a console TV until nearly 2001.

Love your door bell.

So what do you use instead of a radiator?? Yes I live in Florida and have no clue. When I lived up north we had radiators.

And I still have box tvs as well. In fact last year a friend of mine was trying to get rid of a box tv because they never used it and wanted to free up the space She couldn't GIVE it away!!! Nobody wanted it. So being the good friend that I am, I took it!

Love the yarn bomb! I can't come across a statue anymore without wanting to knit something for it.

You really can't go wrong with the Honey Cowl. I'd like to make another one or two.

I love the doorbell. Attractive as well as practical!

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...
