Trap to the Fourth Degree

By -






Beatles is modeling the 4th Trap. 
It won't be the last Trap.

In an effort to keep you from falling asleep as you read this blog, I switched it up last night when I cast on anew. 

I've cast on another mindless knit called
the Sweetie Scarf.  
I paid nearly 10 dollars on line for a two row pattern, but I don't mind.

If she was clever enough to create a two row pattern for me,
I'll pay 10 bucks for it. 

What's the most you have paid for a pattern? 
Were you glad you did?

Do books count? If so... yeah. I have a separate closet for the knitting, crocheting, sewing, scrapbooking books. Hem.

You have the world's most patient cat! Your Traps are all pretty, but my favorite is the one with the red in it. As for patterns, I'd have to go look, but I did just pay $10 for a used quilt book, not counting the mailing.

Love the Trap display...very impressive!
I am a total cheapskate and I rarely pay for patterns but I did pay $6 for the Sheep Heid pattern. I do have a big pattern book collection that I never use. I was just thinking about challenging myself to only use my books for a while and stay away from Ravelry but I am pretty sure I won't be able to make that stick.

Hmm, Let me think. . .I paid $24 for a pattern book for socks. It's a great reference, but I rarely use it.

Love all the Traps. Nice job.

Probably $6.00 and I was happy with my purchase.

Of course, I have several sock books --- some were worth the price. Some...not so much. LOL

All the traps look so pretty lined up together.

I know I've paid $6 many times, and I do think it's worth it. As much as I love getting things for free, I also like the idea of creative people getting paid for their work.

Your Traps are wonderful and the colors are beautiful! I once paid close to $10 for a pattern and found a glaring error in it. I had long figured it out and finished the project when I received an amendment to the pattern from the designer. It left a bad feeling with me about paying that much for patterns in the future.

I don't think I've paid more than eight, but I can't remember. I rarely pay for patterns, if I do it is from a designer whose work I adore!! Love your shawls and I think you made up the price for the pattern :)

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...
