 Notes to Self:   (and to you ofcourse)
1. The Two Harbors Poncho knit up in Extra's Baby alpaca and merino is very popular at my LYS.  Seems everyone is knitting it....except me
2.  I'm Late to the Bateaux party. I cast on yesterday in an icy blue.  Note to self: need Sharper point needles as I continue this beauty. 

3. I reknit Zach's hat.  I found a double decrease crown pattern that makes the hat fit like a glove at the top. 
Note to self: Zach prefers slouch crowns!

4. I've joined Amy's Christmas card swap. 
Must find adorable card.

5. Note to self:
All of September and October have been picture perfect in my town this year. 
Outside every day and loving it. 

What's your NOTE to self today?

I am about 3/4th finished with the Bianca Wrap by Blue Sky Alpaca. Found the pattern at Three Bags. They have the yarn too. So soft and so looking forward to wearing it.

Note to self: Your driver's license is going to expire in a few weeks and you will NEVER pass the eye exam-you just squeaked by 5 years ago. Call the eye doc for an appointment asap.
Love that poncho...love all ponchos.

Note to self: don't be so hard on myself. It is ok not to produce very day and some days just admire the work of others.

Our note is to take a walk even though it's raining and we are wiped out from 2 1/2 days of babysitting the GK! (We just got back so can check that note off!) Also need to find an appetizer for tomorrow's early evening get-together with an old friend who now lives in NM. Any suggestions?

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...
