Saint Leslie

By -
Saint Leslie is sitting next to Saint Joanie. 
Saint Leslie took one look at the sweater that done me wrong and said,
"Give it to me, I'll unravel it"

She meant it too. 
Saint Leslie knows here way around the yarn unravel.  
Only a real pal says that to you. 
Saint Joanie only knits for charity. 


My friend, Saint Karen is going to be very upset if I leave her out of this. 
Saint Karen is my patro saint of technology. 
If you have a phone that won't ring right or an app issue, Saint Karen is the one to talk to- and she'll stick to it until she fixes it. And she's nice about it. 


Okay St. Kathy C. I cannot leave you out or Saint Carol. 
St. Kathy is the patron saint of trains and bat winged design sweaters.  

Saint Carol, is the vacation Saint. 
She loves vacation. She lives for vacation. She'll even find you a vacation...

The Saints really do live among us!

Knitted item unraveling is at the bottom of my list - I don't take to it well. But, my friend Judy in our meetup group, loves to do this and has assisted me a number of times! Thank goodness for saints/friends!!! Love those roses! Thanks for answering my sock knitting question.

Yes, the Saints really do live among us, and they knit, too!

Love the "ravel" photo. Now, that's a saint!

wow, that undone sweater is something else. I have a knack at untangling any kind of yarn......that is an odd skill to brag about.

Oh my, that poor sweater will never be the same, but I have faith that Saint Leslie will wind that yarn into the neatest ball you have ever seen! I have a Saint Jason, my dear fireman son who looks after my tech problems. I willingly surrender my phone to him when it will not do what I want. Yes, I agree they are among us but with frogging Saints and train Saints and bat-winged sweater Saints we are going to need a whole bunch of new statues and medals!

Oh my gosh.....that's quite a pile of yarn barf.

I'm known as the patron saint of tangled up necklace chains. I have a way of working out the tightest knots.

Wow, the end of Lady K? Your Leslie is truly brave; all that yarn gave me the shivers! Sounds like you have some really good and talented friends.

How tedious and frustrating is it to unravel yarn? I would pay to have someone do it.

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...
