A Mouse, A Cat and A Squirrel

Blog pals, Meet
The Churchmouse Stole in Rowan.
This is not mine and I couldn't knit it. 
It looks soft as a cloud. 
Lynette, the owner of Threebagsfull in Northbrook knit this one. Rowan Kidsilk Haze is gorgeous, but let's face it -
I'd have to wear a mask and eye goggles to keep those tiny fibers at bay.  The yarns are beautifully designed so you don't have to do much of any thinking once you've chosen your 6 skeins. 
But you still have to breathe!

Sometimes, very rarely, but sometimes, 
Pie appreciates her brother Beatles. 
She remains half his size and twice is attitude. 
It's black cat time! 
I'm getting my Halloween decorations out  tomorrow.



*********
I did not have my camera ready today when Fireman and I saw 
the funniest thing.  A squirrel running away from the Dunkin with a sprinkle donut in his choppers.  
So you have to just snicker and imagine that , Okay? 
so sorry!

Oh man!!! Sprinkle donuts are my FAVORITE. I would have chased down that squirrel. LOL

I put out my October stuff today --- some is Halloween and some is just generic autumn. It makes me crazy-happy to see it all.

That is so cute and funny! Even squirrels have a craving for something sweet at times.

I will dream about that shawl tonight.

I want a sprinkle donut now too.
I can't put out my Halloween stuff until it looks more fallish out. It's still August outside even though it is cooler at nights.

Hey Kathy!!!
Wow!!! When I saw the Rowan Stole I recognized it at once (from Churchmouse - I try to absorb all their many ideas through my eyes!!!)
Tell your friend I absolutely adore her make, this is gorgeous!
I made a Rowan kidsilk haze scarf from one ball once, it is so soft!!
Your 2 cats are adorable! :)
And I'm sure it is proven that 9 out of 10 squirrels prefer sprinkle donuts from Dunkin Donuts!!! (We don't have that in Belgium but I know it)
Thanks for making me chuckle (and gasp with excitement about the Stole)

Yes you could knit this but it would put you in the hospital with respiratory issues. Can you knit with a mask on?
Hugs,

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...
