Not My Knitting

By -
 I went to Knit Night last night at Three Bags Full.
Christine was showing us her TAMPA shawl. 
(thank you Grace for the correction) 
Wowza.  I'm impressed.  I don't think Lace in that capacity is anywhere in my future.  That's okay. 
I'm content in Mittenland...

Some ladies, in the know, were raving about the patterns in this book by Hatton and Storey. 
One lady said she wanted to knit every single thing in the book. 
That's a testimonial.  She wasn't the author either! 

I do love to photograph Knit night. 
Not because there are treats; I had just one mini cookie. 
I love to see what others are knitting, if they like the pattern, the yarn, the process.
Head over to the post on 
Threebagsfullcorner.blogspot.com for more pictures and inspiration. 

I'm off to knit on my porch! 
It's gorgeous out!

I did the Citron pattern... for Marjie's shawl I think? Lovely. And I love cables, but not "jumpers" so I'll just admire the pretty photo... because I need to be baby knitting!

That shawl is stunning.

And you could TOTALLY do it. It's still just knit and purl. ;-)

I do envy those of you who have a knit night. One of our stores does one twice a month, but it is so popular that you can't find a place to sit or hear over the roar!

I've always loved the Citron, but am a little (or maybe a lot) intimidated to knit one....maybe some day.
I belong to a knit group that meets Thursday nights and Saturday mornings. It's a lot of fun and a great bunch of gals.

your "not your knitting" is beautiful and I'm imagining your mitts and they are just as lovely :)

I keep looking to find a knit night to go to near me! I had one that I was going to years ago, but they always made me feel left out - so that wasn't fun!!

One of the few disadvantages of living in a yarn-shop-less village is the lack of a Knit Night. Ah well. :)

What a gloriously lovely shawl.

Isn't it nice to be warm again? I actually sweated on my ride yesterday - a strange feeling! It was very windy too, but the sun was shining which makes a huge difference.

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...
