Gone but not Forgotten ...Great memories

By -
 Side by Side socks are my go to.  I'm thankful to Jan who taught me to knit socks way back.  Enough said.  Socks are socks and some of us love them  (ahem DEE) but they don't provide much in the way of blog chat now do they?



The cowl HUDSON by Quince and Co got a little time on the Three Bags Full Corner Blog this week.
Purdy little thang.
 
The middle section is called the RICE stitch. 
I see that.  Looks like rice, right? 

Now that the radiators are warm and on for some of the day, I am thinking about my Rozzy.  We put her down last spring. She was our radiator girl, our party girl.  Miss you Rozzy.  Feel your prescence with us still.   
If you have to put a pet down, don't worry.
You won't replace or forget them. 
You will get to a place where all the memories are good!
You will let others into your heart.
Each unique, each bringing joy,
what a gift they are!

I so so want to learn how to knit socks! First I want to get a handle on dpn's! - which I just can't seem to do - no matter how often I try!! Love that cowl....
I agree with you - our pets never leave our homes as they always stay in our "hearts"....

The best knitting skill I ever learned was knitting socks with circular needles.

Socks are my favorite knit; I almost always have a pair going. And, you are so right about pets. My old Buddy is still "here"--I can feel him (and sometimes hear him jump off my bed upstairs--no kidding). We have Elvis now (a pug) and Presley (a boxer), and I don't love them any less. Same goes for my cats (I might be able to get by without a dog, but I couldn't live without a cat).
I love that cowl!

After the mental anguish one pair of socks caused me.. one at a time.. I can't imagine doing two at once. You're so right about animals in ones life.. we still talk about our big dog Butch.. a cross between a Great Dane and St. Bernard.. and my pretty Lucy.. my last kitty cat. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

Those are like strawberry colors. I'm glad you have sock therapy. Sorry your beloved pet had to be put down. But I bet what a great and loved life it had with you.

I could look at socks every day on the blog and not be bored! This yarn is beautiful! The cowl is going to be so warm and attractive! Nice work.
(Thanks for the kind words on the loss of a pet-I feel the loss greatly as its only been a month....)

Socks, socks, and MORE socks .....that's MY plan. LOL

But, now that I have a kitty it's socks, kitty, socks, kitty! Hopefully I shall never run out of blog fodder.

Your pet sounds like a wonderful being. My Zoe was always curled up on the corner of the couch, I can think of her and remember the good times. Love your socks and I'm glad someone taught you as well. I love knitting so much! I cannot imagine a day without it.

I never get tired of making or looking at or talking about socks. And they are so practical to boot (pun intended!). I have a few pairs started that I'll get back to after gifting season is over.
I had to put down one cat because he kept scratching and biting people -- but I adored him. I missed him all the time!

Kathy, I think socks make invigorating blog content. I love Quince patterns. Very much up my alley. Your cowl is looking fab, rice stitch and all!

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...
