Swap????

By -
 I started the feather and fan blanket.
Thanks again Valarie for the cotton. 
I'll break today for socks.  
I have to behave and knit only a bit at a time with cotton. 
Feather and Fan is about the only lace pattern that gets along with me.  Consistently. 

This is a throwback photo that we found while organizing and putting photos on flashdrive.  
Baby Zach with our neighbor Dan.  
Awwww.
It has been wonderful looking back.

I put a light zippered top on this morning and saw I had hung a stitch marker on the zipper. 

I'm in the mood for a little swap. 
Brainstorming on this one....

Feel like a little swap with no yarn included?
Say stitchmarkers,  edibles and a gizmo?

Your son was an adorable little guy. I'll see what kind of swap you plan before I decide. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

I'm up for a swap!

Feather and Fan is one of my favorite stitch patterns. I'm knitting a purple scarf right now in f & f - and it is making me happy!

It's funny how you forget about some photos and then when you see them, WOW!

The swap sounds like it could be fun. :-)

You cannot go wrong with feather and fan. I want to knit a blanket of one as one of my ol' knitting group mates used to always be knitting a charity one. Depending upon the swap's timeframe I could possibly join in.

Oh my gosh .... Zach certainly was a little blondie. He doesn't look to sure about being held by his friend. LOL

Great photo! They grow up way too fast, don't they? That will be a lovely blanket! I made a cowl with that pattern and was amazed that the 2 ends fit together perfectly, making it east to sew together. "Define gizmo" please.;>)

Oh my goodness what a sweet, sweet picture! I love it. so cute. Geez it goes so fast. Your blanket is growing quickly and looks good in that cotton. I have found another lace pattern that doesn't make me insane (on worsted weight yarn) for a blanket and it's making me happy too :)

I'm having feather and fan envy right now. I've been having a miserable time trying to knit socks in it. It's just not cooperating at all. I love the look just can't get what I'm doing wrong and it sounds like I'm the only one having a problem with the pattern! Sigh!

Your feather and fan is looking fantastic. I have yet to try this pattern but I think I might be ready.
Hugs,

 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...
