 Teresa asked to see the yarn knit up.  So here you go!
Can't put my finger on what I don't like, but my eyes don't like it.
We are so lucky that we have so many wonderful choices in our craft!

More Decor from my town.  It just gets better and better!

Wow --- you'd never know the yarn on the left is the yarn on the right. That's a huge difference.

I'm not a fan of Halloween, but I LOVE the huge blow-up spider!!

I actually like how that yarn knits up.. for the hipster crowd it's a winner! I'm thinking it's time to hang up my ghost witch lady. LOVE the big blow up spider. We have East Wind here so I don't think we can do blow up stuff. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

That yarn looks just like some of my handspun knit up. It's that barber pole thing that I don't love either because it's so busy.
That spider is AWESOME. They know how to do Halloween right in your town!

To me it looks like the yarn was trying to capture the essence of handspun.. but in handspun the stripes are usually a little more gradual and subtle.. these ones are jarring and abrupt.

Not my favorite but still nice enough for a hat! Thanks for indulging us!

I love the hat!! Maybe you don't like the light blue with the brown? I never liked that together before, but I guess I kind of do now! We do not have any zealous halloween decorators around my house.

Whoa! That is one monster spider. The best decorators in our n'bhood moved and Halloween just hasn't been the same. I did get our small amount out this year for once though.

Holy moly! I am NOT moving to Chicago. Your spiders are HUGE!!!!!

About the yarn .......It is a nice brand of yarn, but looks so much like the cheaper Kroy. Also ....tweeding blurs the stitches and you lose the definition that makes knitting look so tidy. While it's a fun colorway, I hate knitting with tweed.

I kind of like the yarn. It reminds me of Crazy Zauberball.

 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...
