Al's Knitting

By -
 Before we get to Al's knitting, I must show you the funny Jam names on the jam that arrived yesterday.   An unexpected present arrived in the mail from Michigan friends.  
MMMMMM, breakfast jam.   
 So this is one of Al's projects.  She is busy knitting between school semesters and while she is off of work. 
The yarn is a bit more red than the image shows.
So today, she left and we all had a good BOoo Hooo cry.
She promises she'll move back to the Midwest when her schooling is over.  She wants to! 
Hooray. 

We saw INTO THE WOODS yesterday. 
We loved it. 
 I want to see it again. 

We also watched: The hundred foot journey and the Chef. 
I loved the Hundred Foot Journey. 
The Chef was cute.  

Watching movies? are you?
Knitting? I bet you are!

 (P.S.  Three Bags Full is having a big after Christmas Sale this week. I bought my yarn for the winter class I'm taking at the sale today.

Knitting: Socks

Watching Movies: Guardians of the Galaxy and Throne of Blood (Akira Kurosawa's 1957 Japanese version of MacBeth).

That's how my son rolls and we're just along for the ride. LOL

Both Briton and Hannah are anxious to see "Into the Woods". I'm not a big movie-goer myself, though I did treat myself to a Marx Brothers mini-festival on Christmas Eve.

Knitting-wise, I've made a hat, and finally finished a sock I've had on the needles a while. I cast on this afternoon for a scarf.

Knitting: tiny red mitts for little great-nieces.

Movies: Mr. Peabody and Sherman.

Other activities: Doing dishes. And more dishes. Next time someone asks me what Christmas means to me, I will answer: "An endless round of dirty dishes."

:D

Al's got some nice projects going! Hope she had an uneventful flight back home. We just saw Wild and enjoyed it, especially seeing our choir friend in his small part. I'm working on a b'day sweater for Max who will be 3 on the 4th. How did that happen?

Hi, Kathy b! So glad you found me via Meredith. Thanks for the comment! I love the Jam names and the company name too...too funny. People are so creative. I'm not a knitter, but I do love to see other people's knitting, and I love to crochet. I'll be back to blogging tomorrow with a poncho I finished over the Christmas holidays. Hope you come back and visit me! I'll be back here. ♥

I watched Die Hard and The Interview today while working on a sweater for Pup.
I saw Into the Woods on Broadway back in the day and loved it. I can't wait to see the movie.
Boo hoo....my boy moved away and says Michigan is where he'll stay. I get that this is a hard place to put down roots but I'm still sad.

No movies here, but we did have dinner with my childhood BFF and her family last night, and Sissy had a good pressure check.

I have the Hundred Foot Journey on dvd but haven't watched it yet. Hmmm ... not too sure about something called toe jam. Ha! Best wishes, Tammy

This was one time when we didn't go to a movie. We were pondering "Into the Woods," but I think I'll catch it somewhere soon. I've seen the stage play twice and love the show. I'm glad you thought the movie was quite good.

Very nice sweater in red, and it looks like it might knit up rather quickly...yahoo.

I'd have to think a minute before tasting "Toe Jam," but it's a really cute name. LOL

I'd like to see into the woods but I don't think I have a buddy as yet. We've watched Xmen so far. I am fine as long as we sit upstairs where there is light and I can knit!!

Kathy, my heart sorta cried happy mama tears when I read Al said she'd move back to the midwest when she's done with the schooling. I want you to be near your girl! xoxo

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...
