Not My Knitting

By -
 I write the Knit blog for our LYS. 
Last night I went out in the cold and dark and took some photos for their blog. ( Thank you all for saying you like to stay inside at night.
I feel normal again.  Blog support is really the very best therapy. )

I then lost all my notes in the wet and icy parking lot. 
Oh well. 

One woman was doing, Tunisian crochet.  She was using madelinetosh I think, and one hat goes inside the other. 
I'm pretty sure this is a pattern I've knit before.
You end up with one hat and two ways to wear it.
So I sat and watched her do this craft and I think I'd like it. 
Except we all know I get sore crocheting....
So I won't be trying it. 




Another woman knit this Steven West scarf/shawl.   
I loved the look. I Loved the three coloways she put together.

Did I mention everyone was wearing or knitting purple?
Well, not everyone, but many! 
Now I want to knit in purple. 

Considering the West knit is all garter I won't be knitting it either.
I cannot seem to knit garter and pick up my mistakes. 
I had to show you though, cause I love what she did. 

 ******
Some woman was making this amazing lace scarf for a friend. 
She must be an amazing friend. 
It was a fuzzy alpaca yarn...so soft. 
 


How are you all doing in the snowstorm?
Knit away, my blog pals, Knit away

Love all the projects. We are snowed in...18" or more and still snowing like crazy. I started some new socks today...but I am s...l...o...w knitting socks. But I am enjoying them and that is what counts. Bread is rising and I am going to make a pot of soup for dinner. How is Al? Family in Norfolk got some snow last night and more expected tonight!

Stephen West has some interesting designs.

The double hat has been on my "to knit" list for a long time. I really need to push it to the top. Right now, I'm knitting socks (2 pair on the needles) and trying to finish the second Faroese shawl. So many projects, so little time.

No snow here, but plenty of wind. A portion of the fence behind us is blowing down. I'm guessing by tonight it will be completely down.

I've been in knitting most of the day. Well, that and letting the cat out, and in, and out, and in, and out.............well, you can guess the rest.

This has been an awesome day.

I do wish that it wouldn't be terrible for people, with no power, coastal flooding, etc.

I also wish it would never turn into ice. I HATE ICE.

All lovely projects. Someone explained tunisian crochet to me and I watched her do it but felt it was a lot of work and I'm all about quick and easy. :) I much prefer to get everything done during the day and then stay in at night. The sooner I can don my pajamas, the happier I am. Have a good Sunday!

Lovely stuff! So sorry about the notes - so frustrating, I know. Love snow, the more the better. Such a great excuse to build a fire, pull out my fave shawl and knit knit knit and read read read!

Wonderful pics and I am sure the article will be appreciated! (I don't like it when LYS blogs are months or years behind!) It is easy to knit a hat in a hat-pick any stockinette hat pattern you like, leave off the rib and hit the main hat portion all the way to the pull the loops through and weave in the ends. Pick up all the cast on stitches and repeat in different colors for the other half. Tuck one in the other and you have it!

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...
