Another Acrylic Confession

By -
It's italic font day.  I just said so.   It's also barely 70 degrees outside and this post-menopausal knitter is mighty happy to have a light sweatshirt on.  

 I'm still reeling from my reading with Beverley the psychic.  No one seems as impressed as I am, but I gotta tell you…IT FELT RIGHT.   Since I was told that can't have another golden without making Huck upset, I'm completely at peace about it.  
Her Pie"ness" takes all treats from me directly from my fingers.( like a dog , I know)   Somehow I snapped this image with one hand on the camera….

Summer posts lend themselves to many more pictures than winter posts.  I'm a flash nerd and indoor light just complicates my shots.  In the summer I can click away and have great pictures to share with you while I am in total comfort outside. .These flowers and the bird house are not mine at all, but the neighbors.  

  I was in JoAnn fabric today buying some fleece for the cats in the shelter.   I looked at this goofy yarn that is ……so big it is for arm knitting but it is also-
so soft you want to snuggle into it.  It is of course acrylic.
Red Heart's Vivid is going to find it's way into my stash somehow.
I walked away this time…..but it took wooly willpower….

 Maybe I should rename this blog: 

 1. Acrylic or Bust
(but I also like: 
2. Clicketysticks

 3. Itchystitching
4. Purrchancetoknit
5. or ….just  Acommentwouldntkillya
(I tell that to my family )

Dang - good names all, very hard to choose between them.

I think many of us have a secret acrylic love. It's kind of like admitting you like Cool Whip. :)

Love the names, the bird houses and blooms.

I like acrylic for many projects, especially knits for babies. It's more practical than wool.

I am also an acrylic junkie. I love wool but it can be itchy and hard to care for-not to mention expensive, especially in sweater quantities.

That Pie is such a little sweetie! Great photos, Kathy. I especially like the lily; ours (the one on my header called Chicago)is in full bloom now after taking last summer off for some reason. IMHO acrylic is the yarn of choice for certain projects, babies and little kids for one. (The ones who eat spaghetti sans bibs, etc.)

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

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
