A Mitten and A Movie

By -
 I love my mitten.  Mittens, where have you been my whole knit life? 
Actually, I think I knitted mittens way way back, and I was new to the needles then.  The thumb join was atrocious and I never tried again. 
Look out!  I see many more mittens ahead of me.
 The pattern I choose on Ravelry is free, but she asks you to donate a pair of mittens if you use the pattern. 
I certainly will.

The car windshield needed to be scraped this morning. 
We had snow flurries yesterday. 

So Fireman and I watched Sweetgrass, the Movie. 


On the big screen it would be amazing.
Here's the thing:
there is almost no dialogue. 
I have a million questions about why they were doing what they were doing.  No answers.  
I get it.  Driving sheep is hard hard work. 
I liked it, but if you are tired or if you are having trouble falling asleep.....may I suggest this movie...

That mitten is spectacular!
I love movies that you can fall asleep to. I usually nod off to something or other. I'll have to look that one up.

Mittens are one of the first things I learned to knit too.

Your mitten is adorable. Love that bright, happy color.

I love, love, love you mitten!! I will certainly look up that pattern.

I got a laugh out of the movie. Granddaughter just told me she has been having trouble getting to sleep. I will recommend that movie before bed!

That is a lovely mitten. Is it waiting for a partner? :) A full movie with no dialogue? That would be a little much. Best wishes, Tammy

Your mitten is pretty! Love those colors.
I've actually only ever made fingerless mittens (many pairs of them). I give them mostly to my grandchildren who like their fingers free so they can "text". I also like the way they fit me, but never have a need here in Arizona to wear them!

Mittens and snow flurries?! It's spring! I love that screen capture of the sheep, but really your Mittens are the star of the show. That yarn really worked up nicely. I am looking forward to seeing more mitts from you.

The mittens turned out great, Kathy. Jill told us about the snow. Hey, it's Spring and not even April Fools Day, right? It snowed in MPLS the day before. Crazy weather, that's what. It's raining here, surprise, surprise, chilly, too.

A million years ago I made mittens for everyone in my family for Christmas, it was so much fun. That was before I had kids, seems like it really was a million years ago. Love yours.
Hugs,

 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...
