Of Calendars and Corn

By -

Darn! Men With Yarn Calendar.  Have you seen this Calendar?   Do I have your attention? Happy Monday!


 Have you seen the movie Fabulous Fashionistas?
It is a wonderful interview with 6 amazing women who are redefining aging.  
Find a copy and watch it.....it is a gem. 
 I played around with the Take Me With you Bag Pattern yesterday. If I really decide to knit one, I have to find a yarn equivalent. 
She used cotton, and I know that will make my arm hurt.  

I made my own confetti corn last night as a side dish. 
I browned the corn on the stove with a bit of oil.  This took a while but brought out a nice flavor.  I then added a can of tomatoes and jalepenos.  
Mmmmmm.  Twas good. 

If you get a choice today, 
Choose Happy!

Why couldn't the bag be knit with acrylic? I'd think cotton would stretch and be very heavy when it got wet, and we know that bags get wet.

That is the funniest calendar I've seen in a long time!
I have wanted to make a cotton bag for some time now, but I think I'd have to knit a little at a time to keep the yarn from hurting my hands.

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...

This is a call for knitters to knit a baby blanket no bigger than a cookie sheet. Blankets will be distributed in the NICU where I work. We just don't get many blankets. We need them. Traditional baby colors will do, but we'd love you to branch out a bit. Use up those leftovers if you wish. You could win a lovely prize. All who send a blanket by November 1st, ALL SAINTS DAY, you angels you, will be entered in the drawing. Here are the rules: Blanket must be made of yarn which is washable. Sorry, Hospital rules. It cannot be bigger than a cookie sheet. Smaller is welcome also. That's it. Those are the rules. I'll post the prize by next week. Mail a blanket to me Kathy B if you need my snail mail address,email me at Harpnut@gmail.com

(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...
