Pretend Friends Meet in Person

By -
What a joy to meet Judy from STITCHALONGWITHME.
Judy and I have been pretend friends for a long wonderful while.
Judy and Dick met Fireman and I for a great lunch yesterday. 
Judy is funny, and she is beautiful. 
Something about her reminded me so very much of Meryl Streep.

We chatted and we shared yarny things:
 This wonderful sock yarn from Judy will become a sock reality very soon. 
I highly recommend Pretend Knit blog friend meetings.
Channon, Donna, Jennifer and of course, now Judy-
each one of you…. a gem in person.

It is my birthday. 
We celebrate my birthday !!!!
I love my day. 
Katherine and I share August birthdates.
She sent me this duo of 
gorgeous malabrigo last week. 
 I'm newly into neutrals….can't wait to knit something up with them.
My girl is flying home today…..
we are going to PARTAAAAAY! 

It is already a great day!
Enjoy something for me today? !!!

How fun! Happy Birthday. My friend designed a sweet shawl using 2 different Malabrigo in sport weight. Not sure which weight yours are, but they would be perfect for the shawl. https://www.etsy.com/listing/193150645/there-be-mermaids-shawl-pattern?ref=shop_home_active_3

It is SO cool to meet blogfriends. I have had some wonderful times with Rose of Sand in My Yarn when I was visiting my brother.
Happy birthday! Having your girl come home has to be the best gift of all.

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...
