Etsy browsing....

I found these cat pins on ETSY this morning. 
It is somewhat dangerous for a crazy cat lady to be stuck inside for too long with no desire to venture outside in the Chicago March. 
I didn't order anything.
I am just WINDOW haha Safari, shopping. 
 This Super Dee Dooper Big Yarn is so popular you have to wait to get some on Etsy.  Its nearly 200 dollars for a skein. 
I see tendon and joint pain, with those needles. 
However, even I may not drop a stitch in that gauge.
What would that gauge be exactly?
The ply is more than an inch anyhow...

See What you learn on Etsy?
I'm intrigued by this crochet ring. 
What? 
You crochet with a ring. ?  

This fascinates me enough to watch a you tube video.
Do you finger crochet? 

Do you arm knit? 

Oh and while we are asking questions, Does anyone have a really wonderful black bean burger recipe? 
I'd love to try it. 

Back to my ETSY shopping....

So did you succumb to the little kitties? They are adorable and probably don't cost too much to feed. LOL Funny, I was going to ask you whether you arm knit? How are you doing on melting that snow?

That ring looks like something I've seen knitters wear to keep tension consistent.

And I can go on etsy and stay and stay and stay!

If you knit with that giant yarn you sure would get good arm muscles.

I can't imagine keeping control of needles that big. YIKES!

The kitty pins are adorable. Looks like maybe they are made with upholstery fabric.

Cute cat pins.. but I'll pass on yarn that big and have no desire to arm knit.. but to each his own. You should treat yourself to something though.. retail therapy works. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

I eat black bean burgers all the time. You just grind up a can of them-drained and rinsed, of course with enough panko bread crumbs for them to stick together. You can add any seasonings or grated onion if you want. You roll them in more crumbs before frying for a crispy crust. I top mine with fresh salsa. Some people add eggs to bind them. I don't and they don't fall apart.

No on the recipe but that huge yearn is intriguing. I think the crochet ring is to keep an even tension, but I am not sure about that one.

I've only purchased a few items on Etsy: yarn (most recently), rug frame, quilt labels.

It been a grim March in our part of the world, hasn't it?

$200 for a skein? It's probably worth it, but I can't get over the sticker shock.

I haven't done black bean burgers, but every vegan cookbook seems to have a recipe!

Fascinating. The crochet ring... the huge yarn at an even bigger price... I might be ready to play with yarn again.

 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...
