A Post put to Carols

By -
 Oh Cotton I love thee.
This is the Reclamation Shawlette/Scarf.
I love this easy to memorize pattern.
Perfect for relaxing knitting during the Holidays. 
I knit it in Universal Cotton Supreme. 
It's for me.  It is soft and it does not itch one bit.
I have another skein and I will cast on again today.
It can be worn right against my neck for cold winter winds and as a lovely accessory inside as well. 
I'm not really doing gift knitting so the pressure is off and I like this approach.  
Although, there are 5 days left.....
(We Wish You a Berry Christmas)
 
 These Oreo cookies dipped in white chocolate
were a breeze to put together. (Waltz of the Sugar Plum Fairy)
Zach's students showered him with Holiday gifts.
Some of the notes from students were pretty funny ,
"Senor Boyer, don't break your arm again over Break" 
(and their Moms and Dads can hardly wait for school to start again)  

Are you hearing Carols throughout your day? 
Wishing you the peaceful song of
STILL STILL STILL

I love that berry color! I also love things that do not itch around my neck!
It sounds like Zach's students love him. That's awesome! Sometimes that's what gets you through the day!

Very clever! Yes, I hear carols all day. I think I am going to have to start listening to the classical stations when the holidays are over.
Love the scarfy thing! I can't wait to get back to normal so I can start making things for ME again.

A good cotton yarn is so soft around the neck; it's hard to beat.

I have too many carols that are favorites; I can't really choose one!

Yes, I bet Zach's students have some great one-liners!

I'm off to look up that shawlette pattern! I do enjoy knitting items with cotton...

I'll Be Home for Christmas is a favorite of mine. But since I never get to go "back home" for Christmas - it always always makes me cry!!

You are patient to knit w/cotton, a fiber that's stiff for me and hurts my hands. I really like the berry color. The Oreos are fun. I bought a bag once from Target to let the girls try. I should pick up the TJ version for them.

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...
