Karbon Needles = Lace Joy

By -

 
It was warm last night so Fireman and I walked after dinner.
I got this shot of the Hunters Moon.
Spooky!  I think it will be this year's Halloween email to friends. 

I treated myself (pun intended) to a pair of Karbon lace tipped needles. 
Oh my. 
OH MY!  They are wonderful. 
I'm in love. 
They are making my lacey knit such a joy to create. 

Did you see the moon last night?

When we took the pups out at bedtime it was cool and dewy--a real Fall evening. So beautiful!! But, I did not notice the moon. Can you believe it?

I love your lacy knit. Can't wait to see the finished product.

I did see the moon. It was huge and golden here, but your photo is really outstanding. Every time I try to get a shot of the moon it is always disappointing. However, I did get a nice shot of the eclipse last month. I'll have to give those needles a try.

No moon-watching here --- there were nothing but clouds in Athens' sky.

That is a SPECTACULAR photo. Just breathtaking.

No moon here. It's been very gloomy. Perfect Halloween weather. Love those needles. Those points are perfect.

I didn't go out to SEE the moon last night, but it sure did cast its bright light on our backyard. The fence behind us was actually glowing in the moonlight.

Great shot of the moon! I saw a beautiful golden moon rise over the bay last night, but couldn't stop for a photo.

Your lacy knit is coming along nicely. The right needles make all the difference.

No moons here....just clouds and more clouds. But you reminded me of an earlier photo which I need to find! Sounds like a good set of needles!

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...
