Shi Bui

By -

My pal Linda just knitted this amazing color block scarf.
It is more of a shawl. 
It is more of a coat.... if you ask Linda. 
I think its Shi bui yarn and pattern.
It is a costly knit, but then again, it can be used as a coat!

Linda sees something and buys the yarn and knits it. 
She's amazing. 
Lauren is modeling the knit. 
Lauren was my patient many years ago as a premie. 
This is how Linda and I originally met. 
Thanks LAUREN! 

Despite the fact that we got 6 inches of snow yesterday, the birds are singing their hearts out this morning. 
I love a bird with a positive attitude!

We have birds on our feeders in the rain. I was thinking they were a little daft but I'm so happy to know it's a positive attitude!

I love a big shawl that can be thrown around the shoulders for warmth any time of the year. I have one I take to the movies with me. Granddaughter is always begging me to share my shawl. I need to knit one for her and that one would be perfect. How fascinating that the model was one of your premies.

I was watching your snow on The Weather Channel yesterday. Wow. We've got the cold (boo) but not the white stuff. I could use a scarf like that right now. I'm freezing to death.

You have to love a bird who sings of spring, even when a snowflake falls!!

And our GK had a blast sledding! What a pretty scarf. I've only seen that yarn in a shop in Portland.

(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...
