A Great Baby Gift Thank You Photo

 Remember the poncho I knit for my work pal Abby? 
Here is Sloane staying warm in her poncho!
Details:
Sloane: adorable, doesn't sleep much ...
Mother: Nicu nurse Abby...adorable too
Yarn: Two strands of Koigu held together throughout. 
Pattern: Posh Poncho
Details: nice ribbed neck, 
steady increases in first third of poncho,
freelanced the fringe.
Here is another thank you photo from Lynn of her 
boys Mr. Whiskers and Teddy. 
They are adorable and still snuggle buds...brothers!
They were from our foster litter with Lucy Lou ....

There has been considerable knitting progress on two Trap scarves this week. 
The navy/maize is nearly finished.
The Cotton Brown/Red is nearly finished.
Some progress was made on the modular shawl. 

I have to switch things up a bit....
my arm is a tad sore.  I love cotton yarn, but it doesnt give much.
Addi turbos don't help either, I need the 'give' in wooden needles. 
SO: 
I'm going to cast on for socks. 
Somehow socks on wooden straights never hurts. 

Final thought on this October Friday: 
I have to work on my Halloween Black Cat photo for this year.....
because when you love black cats...
well Tis the Season!

That is an awesome thank you baby photo. That kid is soo cute! What a great smile! I love the name of her cat, Mr. Whiskers. I feel like I should make up some kind of bourbon cocktail and call it that, ha!

I think I am like you Kathy in terms of aware of which needles and yarn make me sore or comfortable rather. I think I get aware that some combo makes me feel like I'm "fighting" with the yarn and that's never a good feeling. Here is to happy, relaxing knitting for you. Your traps are great.

I love it when people send Thank You photos! The baby is seriously cute in the poncho.

Knitting with cotton always makes my hands hurt, regardless of the type of needles.

Sloane is adorable! I think she loves her new poncho!

At first I thought one of the kitties in the picture was Uncle Tank.

The baby wearing the poncho...adorable! Cute, cute, cute! I'm with you on preferring knitting with yarn and needles that "give."

The two cats...oh they look so comfortable!

That's a great thank-you, and how nice of her to send it! Love the cute little baby toes sticking out below.

Those cats make me want to take a nap. :)

Sloane is just precious and that poncho fits her perfectly. So sweet! And the kitties are precious, too. So happy that they went to a loving home. Good luck with all your projects. Best wishes, Tammy

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...
