I'm still reading my plague book and I love how depressing it is (I know I'm odd). After this I'll probably read a happy one to shake off the doldrums.

Hi Kathy - I love the delicious color of your wool. Perfect for baby socks (and big girl socks too!)
Ijust finished reading Beautiful Lies by Lisa Unger and I'm currently reading In the Unlikely Event by Judy Blume.
I love sitting outdoors reading this time of year.

I love that yarn's colorway! Me I just started Hotel du Lac, which I've been trying to get to for 2 months now, from a recommendation by another blogging knitter. You know me, escapist via fiction

I always have tons (I mean tons) of books going at the same time. Yesterday found me almost halfway through a new one I just bought - Black-eyed Susans" by Julia Heaberlin. I liked her first two stand-alones, and so far, this one is pretty good too!

I didn't know Regia made a baby yarn. Nice!
I'm still listening to the Poisonwood Bible and I just finished reading The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag. The fact that I actually finished a real book tells you how hot it is out.

I seem to have no time to read lately. Of course I could get off the computer right now and read! I started to reread Gone With the Wind but haven't gotten very far. I have new yarn too and am itching to cast on...but I am trying to finish at least 1 thing first.

"All the Light We Cannot See." Although, frankly, at this time of year, Knitters' Hunk and Knitters' Chick take up just about all my time.

I have never made socks, and in the past months made my first mittens. I loved doing them. Now if I can get over the fear of failing with socks I will whip up a pair or two, maybe three, lol. Not reading anything at present, but have plenty of books in hard back and Kindle just waiting.

Out Loud at Bedtime: A Hat Full of Sky
Listening When I Walk: The Pearl That Broke Its Shell
On My Kindle: I can't remember the title but it's about musicians. My Kindle doesn't show me the title like a book cover does!

Love the sock project! Great color, and I love Regia yarn, too. I am reading Under a Wing by Ann Lindberg's youngest daughter. Just finished The Aviator's Wife which lead me to that.

Oh yay, going back to sock knitting is always a good thing! And there's no going wrong with Regia yarn is there?

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...
