BEST in SHOW!!!

By -
I love to watch Westminster. 

I look forward to it all year. 
I know it is "fixed" and I know we have to promote mixed breeds and shelter dogs....
but I love this show.

I always root for the Golden Retrievers
and the 
shelties
and the Gordons
 and the miniature schnauzers
and the 
Malteses
and the 
Otter hounds. 

Some of these breeds I would never consider living along side...but I love to watch them at the SHOW. 

I'm getting my knitting in order for Westminster tonight.  
 I am losing interest in my tiny needle projects. 

I have such a short attention span.
Socks and Trap can wait. 
I need that new yarn high....



Who will you root for to be BEST IN SHOW?

I'm also glad you reminded me the Show is tonight! We always enjoy watching it and wishing a Newfoundland would win again. Our last dog was a male "Newfie", and what a sweetheart of a dog. He weighed 165 pounds and was so docile and great around the grandkids!

I've never watched the Show, so I can't begin to even know what transpires.

More and more frequently, I find that I need to knit with a variety of needle sizes.

I love Westminster but never get to watch it. Macy objects to other dogs on her TV so I can't even watch the Dog Whisperer. She is a little tyrant! Anyway, I do love to see the Retrievers. They are so grand and heroic looking!

I usually get to see the highlights of the show somewhere along the way. I don't know how in the world they can pick ONE winner. It's a treat to see such fine breeds.

It is nice to change up the needle sizes on occasion.

Dave's grandmother recently got a Sheltie - she is the sweetest little thing. And too darn smart!

Now that's a tough question because I've never watched that show. What do you have your knitting displayed on? It looks very intriguing! Stay warm, Kathy!

please don't tell me it's fixed!!! gotta root for the cockers....they had their hay-day during Lady and the Tramp, so I know they won't win, but I still root for them!! (Freddy would be really sad if I rooted for anyone else!!!)

I have to root for the Yorkies and all the herding breeds.
I have a short attention span too. That's why I end up with a million projects all going at the same time.

I'm rooting for the cats. What? There aren't any? Then I guess I'll go for the mutts.

I chuckled to see you back with a Trap!

Pug, definitely, but then I'm partial to them at the moment. Josie LOVES watching Westminster - the only thing onTV we've ever seen her pay attention to.

I like to watch all the fancy breeds with the big hair-dos, like poodles, Afghan hounds, Pomeranian, Yorkies, and anything that has some awesome hair.

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...
