Is it Saturday or What?

By -
 I bought a tiny wonderful something at our hospital gift shop yesterday.  My old Creche is so, well, so dark. 
This little sweet thing makes me smile. 
My first decoration is up.  
I like it so much it may stay up all year. 
 I started a new Trap scarf.  
In garter.
In cotton.
In Misti Alpaca.
The other night.
I frogged it. 
Call me nuts, and you may. 
I cast on this thin scarf on two circs in the round. 
Now this is FUN!
I don't quite know how I did it, but I sort of figured it out and 
it is easier than garter to me. 
Garter gets away from me. 
I knit like the winter wind and then I realize I've dropped a stitch without looking and I just cannot for the life of me pick up a dropped garter stitch. 
This tube is easy and I've set up two equadistant fold lines so it will lie flat. 
More as we progress...
 
 
Finally, is it Saturday or what?
Thursday felt like Sunday, 
Wednesday felt like well, Wednesday,
Friday felt like Saturday,
and all the sports make it harder for me to know what day it really is...
 
This is know...
it is turkey day here.
We are roasting a breast as we were guests at Thanksgiving this year and have no leftovers.
There, it is Thanksgiving again....
which makes this...Thursday right?

Love that creche! I'm with you on the mixed up week ever since we had our normal Thursday choir practice on Tuesday. It will be amazing if anyone shows up for book club on Monday!

I can never decide if I am glad or sad that I don't celebrated X-mas: There are so many beautiful X-mas decorations, on the one hand; but on the other, I save a lot of money! Most of the Hanukkah stuff is too kitchy.

I love what you're doing with your trap. It will be warmer this way, too!

Cute little Nativity. I actually left mine up all year.. so I don't have to put it up.. it's up. LOL! Love your warm scarf you're working on. I might need to take a break from my hitchhiker.. I have 2 pairs of pink booties that need making. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

I don't know what day it is either. The week got away from me. That is a cute creche. You are making me want to drag out the holiday stuff!

I am completely confused myself on what day it is. I was at Michael's today, something I do not suggest with Holiday things 70% off, I only needed glitter. I had the feeling it was Black Friday, the store was packed! Love the trap and good for you making it work. I am still working on the Hitchhiker, I actually found a hole in it, really what is wrong with me?
Hugs,
Meredith

Steve was on vacation for the past 11 days. I often had to ask him what day it was......I'm SO dependent on his schedule that having him home threw off my sense of days.

LOL

Hope you had a good SECOND Thanksgiving!

My Hubby and I were joking today that it was our third Saturday of the week. We put up just a few decorations today. Probably no tree this year as we'll be traveling a bit in December. But, my nativity has a place of Ho or every year and is the first thing on display. Love your new scarf. Mittens have been flying off my needles this week. 22 pair so far in the last 11 days. Three more pair to finish by Monday. Here's hoping!
Blessings,
Betsy

Similar confusion here on the day of the week.

The yarn you're using for the tube scarf is lovely.

The only decorations I have so far are the Advent calendar and wreath, and I'm not sure how many more decorations I'll put up.

It's gonna be so hard to get up tomorrow. It'll take all week to get back into the swing of things. I love Misti Alpaca. You're making me itch for some now.

Ha, I agree; it is hard to trust your inner clock when you throw it off like this week! The new scarf is very pretty!

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...
