7th Trap of 2014

By -
 We know that 2014 was the Year of the Trap.
(2015 is the Year of the SHEEP!!!!)
This is my seventh completed Trap scarf.
I used 2 skeins of a goldish Koigu and used up many leftovers for this 50 inch scarf. 
 Here, sweet Beatles models as usual. 

On my needles now: fingerless gloves in the Dragonfly
yarns Al gave me for Christmas. 
I love to knit.  Knitting in the round means, you know, no purling! 
Except I purled the first inch of the fingerless for contrast, so I didnt escape purling completely.  

I'm reading! 
I'm engrossed in Alex & Me about the famous African Gray who changed the way we think about the way they think.

We are supposed to have below zero wind chills this week, so all Traps on deck! 

Do you love to knit or purl?

your trap looks great - and Beatles - oh Beatles! So cute!

I don't mind purling - I can actually do it quicker than I knit!

Hmmm I left a long comment and it published it as two comments so I deleted one and ended up with none :-) Anyhow, Beatles did a fine job of modeling your latest Trap scarf. Your 7th is my favorite, Kathy. I definitely prefer knitting and managed to finish knitting a scarf for my son on Christmas Eve eve! xx

What a cute model Beatles is. I love to knit and I am not fond of purling but break it up with a knit stitch in between and make it seed stitch and I am a happy camper. I'm weird that way--and other ways!

Beatles is quite handsome in that Trap.

I don't mind purling. I actually think I might purl faster than I knit.

The Trap is breathtaking. Are you sure Beatles is going to surrender it to you?

I prefer knitting, but I can purl faster. And no DPNs for me. EVER.

Hey I love your Traps! What a great scarf to use Koigu wool with. Honestly the colours in the Koigu yarns are something else. Beatles looks very dashing in the scarf! I like knitting and purling, knitting definitely goes faster though. Stay warm we've had an artic front blow in today , it's cold!!

My favorite Trap so far. Love the colors.
I used to hate purling but now they are both automatic which means I've been doing both a long time.

This is the best Trap yet, I think 2015 can be the year of the Trap, too.
Hugs,

Maybe Beatles could talk to Mocha and Ginger about this modeling-thing? That's an awesome Trap, and isn't seven a lucky number? Stay warm, Kathy!

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

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...
