Simple Wins Out

By -
 I knit my Midnight Mobius in two nights.
This super simple pattern is all garter on size 15s.
Do a twist and sew the seams. 
I have to pick soft acrylic for around my neck.
This is Thick and Quick acrylic. 
It is like a cloud around my neck. 
Just in time for our near recording breaking cold days this week. 
It was perfect Westminster watching knitting too.
The Golden Retriever didn't win...again.
I enjoyed the coverage and two whole nights with no channel flipping going on. 
I rarely reserve the TV for myself, but I do for the Dog show! 

The cats just seemed to watch a bit and I could see them thinking,
"This whole thing is silly.  
Don't these animals ever sit down and wrap their tail around their paws and just be admired?"  
and then,
"Im going back to sleep"

Love the color of your Mobius, and also how fast you knit it! Of course, I guess #15 needles helps. Keep warm!

Gorgeous cowls! I am so upset that I missed the dog show.. I have no idea why. He's a cute Beagle, but those dogs are runners.. if you let them off leash you'll never see them again. Have fun knitting! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

Yup Beagles are kind of a different breed! I know they are notoriously hard to housebreak. Yet they have that cute all american dog face that so many seem to fall for!

I just watched the video from Best in Show --- that little Beagle knew she had it as soon as that spotlight hit her. What a great dog.

Lovely! Perfect for the big chill we are all having.
The little beagle was cute. The Mister was in shock. Beagles don't win best in show in his world. He still can't get over it.

Those cowls DO look very warm and snuggly!

We are about to get our coldest weather of the season. Tomorrow night it will be below freezing. Not looking forward to THAT!

Nice cowl...and yes, it will be just the ticket!

I think the cats' thoughts on watching the dog show is just about right...you are good at reading their minds!

That is such a beautiful cowl. And unlike many cowls, this one lays beautifully when you wear it.

It is cold, isn't it? Just going to work is unpleasant!

I love your cowl, I'm sure it's going to come in quite handy for you. I can't believe what bad weather parts of Canada and the States are getting. Just plain nasty!

Ooh, that cowl looks cosy. The older I get the more I like to keep my neck warm. Especially in this weather!

I think the cats are a tiny bit jealous of all the attention the dogs are getting - but they'll never admit it. :)

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...
