LYS inspiration

By -

 Today's eye candy is from my LYS.
The tree stand above is for folks who knit with very fine fibers.
Not me.
They sell for 118 dollars.  
They are supposed to be just great for keeping your colors and lines straight. 
People think of the best tools.

This Stephen West beauty is on display too. 
I like that my LYS shows projects of many skillsets.
Clearly this one requires some careful knitting, but it doesn't look impossible. 
I love the twisted collar on it and I love the colors. 

The tree is going up today.
Wish us luck. 
The cats are about to have fun.

My tree is going up this weekend too. We'll be able to swap cat stories :)

Hopefully the cats will behave with your tree. Tell them what you expect and get the water pistol loaded. Have fun! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

Decorating the tree is always fun. Ever considered acclimating the cats to the tree by just having it in the room - bare - for a few days. That always worked when I had cats.

You'll have to let me know how the tree adventure goes. I'm guessing Fezzik will be the first one up the tree.

I have never seen a tree stand like that. It would be a very useful tool! Have fun with the decorating adventure.
Blessings,

The tools are always interesting to me, too. But I would pass on this one but it does look just like the one I use for spinning to tend my two bobbins when I ply them together to make yarn! I expect some good tree trimming pictures with kitties!

I like the boldness in the West shawl.

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...

Insufficient Information

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...
