Suggestions Please for Yarn...

Our world is becoming green again. 
The cardinals are nesting in the evergreens right outside my kitchen window.  Zach stole this shot of Daddy cardinal yesterday. 
Those are not my tulips, but we are finally seeing tulips ready to bloom in my neighborhood.

Progress is being made on my Skydive Stole. 
I'm over the half way point. 
Wheeeeeee! 

I will bore you all with knitting another immediately after I cast off with this one. 
I'd like to knit the next with a yarn that has some fuzz to it. 
Suggestions anyone?

On Saturday I was walking and passed an injured bunny.
A runner stopped and we watched as a police officer shoveled it into a big box....and took it away.
The sweet girl looked at me, and said, 
"I think I'm gonna cry" 
There are a lot of big hearts in this world and they never get due credit.   It's the Circle of Life and all that...poor bunny boo.

How fuzzy? Mohair fuzzy? You can't go wrong with Kidsilk haze from Rowan.

Isn't it so great to see some spring flowers and the returning birds?! Nice pictures!

I don't have a yarn suggestion, as I would just probably look for something with a touch of mohair. I don't have any specific names of yarn to offer.

I hope the Police Officer took the bunny to a vet or shelter!

I am so excited about your shawl. I have always wanted to knit it in alpaca. Knitting another while you are on a roll is very wise!

I love daddy Cardinal. Mama Cardinal was on our feeder last night and stayed long enough for me to get pictures. I love this time of year!

Zach is a marvelous photographer. He framed that daddy cardinal so perfectly among the pine.

Sorry about poor bun-bun. :-( I think I'm gonna cry too. I hate seeing injured animals.

I live in the swamp and so many get hit out on our road. :-(

Hurrah for spring! Glad it finally decided to visit your part of the world. I agree with Kim that Kid silk haze might be what you're looking for. Sad about the bunny although I wish they'd stop eating our plants!

I sent you a message on Ravelry. Take a peek when you get a chance.

Fuzzy yarn? I'm using Knit Picks Chroma and it's got a bit of a fuzz to it. It's also very soft and the colors are gorgeous.

Poor bunny....it's the time for lots of little dead things on the side of the road. I hate driving this time of the year.

Zach's photo is fantastic.

Sad about the bunny. You know you're a good heart, too. :)

Zach took a great photo of the cardinal: I've never seen one in person.

I hope that box was brought to a shelter where the bunny got some kind of care. Nice spring photos!

Oh no the poor bunny, at least it will not suffer long. Good luck with choosing yarn.

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(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...

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...
