Between St. Pats and St. Josephs

By -
If you want to see a Canada cowl by Stephen West design, or the Challah Infinity Scarf go to the 
threebagsfullcorner.blogspot.com site and check the new post out. 
I try to remember to tell you about my weekly posts there, but my scatter brain often forgets.  

On with MY blog: 

Fireman and I were in Delafield Wisconsin and he wanted to stop in the downtown area.  Knitch is the yarn shop I scored thanks to Siri.  
What a beautiful welcoming shop. 

 I need  (NEEEEEED) more sock yarn, and I'm nearly finished with my green and gold socks, so
I give you
this little beauty. 

 Zach asked where the irish Soda bread was last night...
so I had to whip some up. 
Did you have some soda bread this St. Pats?  

My Dog niece Quetzl turned nine on Sunday. 
Here she is obliging her Veterinarian mother with a princess party picture.  She did get the salmon to herself for dinner. 
What's my blog without a fur baby picture?


Tomorrow is St. Joseph's day. 
The Italian feast day and feasting day.
Don't forget to wear some red!

I did indeed have soda bread on my table. I love it. I always wonder why I don't make it more often.
I am drooling over your sock yarn score. What happy colors!

Siri is the best for finding yarn and quilt shops!

I found a GREAT yarn shop in Charleston a few years back --- I think it's closed now.

And, yes, I did have soda bread. Even shared some with the dogs.

Love the new yarn! I would have loved soda bread on the table but we ate a $1.50 hotdog at Costco for dinner. Oh we do live the high life. :-)
((hugs)), Teresa :-)

No soda bread, but I am all about sock yarn. I never think to ask Siri about the yarn shops!

LOL We were a day early for St. Joseph's Day.....we had Italian food last night.

Love the picture of the "Princess" pup! Happy birthday to her.

You know how it is with sock yarn.....it's like potato chips. Once you get started it is almost impossible to stop. ;-) Ask me how I know!

You are quickly becoming a sock fiend! But who can blame you - hand-knit socks are the best!

Oh my goodness Delifield!!!!! I used to live very close to there in Oconomowoc, well for a short bit of time. I love that area so much. There was no yarn store there when I was living there, the closest one was in Elmgrove.

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...
