Nothing But FUN

By -
 You probably know my love for Donna Booshay and her daughters runs deep. 
This is Emma incognito...
she wasn't trying to be! 
I don't think she is in the Knittress protection program..but I'm not sure.  
I do know you wouldn't ever want to hide her beautiful face.
Funny how this image turned out. 


 I love the EASY button at Staples. 
I may have to get one. 
When you press it, it says, "That was Easy"
The yarn that Channon gifted me when we first met FINALLY got knitted this week.  I love the color swirls. 
The yarn just wasnt sure what it wanted to be for a bit. 
I'm in a hat making mood. 

I cast on 104 stitches on size 2 circs.
Knit in 2 by 2 rib for about 2 inches.
Switched to size 4 and knit all around .
After a few inches I worked a 
k2tog yo row.
I did this 4 times during my hat creation. 
After 8 inches were knit from the brim  
I started hat decreases in the usual fashion and bound off.  

I dont know if you can call that a pattern!!!
But That was EASY.


I have a quick mom story from the other night. 
We were talking about appliances breaking. 
I asked mom if she remembered how her Ice machine on the fridge door was always breaking. 
She said: " I never knew if it would give me an ice cube or lay an egg!"
Oh mom. You make me laugh even now with your dementia.

Find a way to laugh today. Okay?

Nice colors on the hat! Your mom's icemaker sounds like ours! Maybe there was a chicken stuck in it? Hugs to you and your mom.

Excellent job on the hat. I think the pattern and the yarn is a good match. Your Mom definitely has a good sense of humor. heh.

Funny Mom story. My favorite Daddio story is that if you ask him about Mom he always calls her "wigwam". Her name was Libby-where wigwam comes from I have no idea but I know she would think it was funny. The brain is a crazy thing.
Cute hat! I can't wait for hat weather.

That picture is too funny how it turned out...and ironic. With Miz Boo as my mom you know my face is far from hidden from the world! She sent me this link a few weeks ago and it is in my online "shopping cart" now. http://www.purlbee.com/2015/07/06/learn-to-knit-a-hat-in-the-round-kit/ - have not done in the round yet

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...
