Thous Shalt Not

By -
 My second square top hat is done. 
I think I'll gift this cute one to the youngest great nephew. 
He's a hoot.  Jax always has a little devilment in his eyes. 
He's quiet....he is very quiet....but he's got it all going on in that growing brain.
It might be even more hip if I had made the cuff a roll brim.
Next time....Thou shalt not anger the knitting spirits
 We have these phone holders in our cars now.
Mostly so they don't slide all over the dash while Siri is giving me much needed directions.  Thou shalt not argue with Siri.

Though shalt not covet thy neighbors Holly,
but I do. 
They have a hedge of the most wonderful holly.
The leaves are perfect.  


For the cat lovers, I leave you with this cartoon.
Thou shalt not confuse the cat....

LOL Giroux brought me my first "present" the other day. It was a lizard ........it wasn't dead yet! LOL Somewhere in our house we have a little lizard creeping around. Hopefully, he made his way back out the door unseen.

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...
