Saturday's Thoughts

 This picture of Jessie's Girl was hanging around my LYS.
I think I could knit this.
I may have to check out the pattern. 
 Teacher Linda is teaching a Rug class.
She made this table runner with doubled Cascade 220.
She said it is a bit cumbersome to knit, but isn't it pretty?
For those who ask what I'm reading, I'm watching.
I watched Alpha Dogs about police dog work. 
It was cool.
I watched the Lives of Dolphins which is old but beautifully filmed.
I watched a program on Alzeheimers...
and the 
best was the movie 
FARMLAND.
It came out in 2014. It is a documentary about the new generation of Farmers in the USA.  Fascinating and beautifully filmed.

What are you watching while you knit?

Fixer Upper on HGTV! Love Chip and Joanna. I want to move to Texas and buy a house for them to remodel for me. :-). That table runner is beautiful.
Blessings,

I like the simplicity of Jesse's Girl besides that it looks lightweight. I have that in my faves. I don't normally watch something while I knit. I usually listen to an audiobook but once in a while I may watch a podcast.

One of my biggest weaknesses is service dogs. I think I've seen "Alpha Dogs"; it seems familiar.

I watch Netflix on the iPad when sewing and knitting. I also like to listen to the Serial podcast.

Jane the Virgin. It's hilarious.
I also love that table runner. That's a crazy amount of patience there!

I'm currently listening to Stephen King's Dark Tower series and I've fallen in love with the Thinking Sideways podcast. That runner is beautiful!

Here is the plan Kathy, you are going to knit that Jessie's Girl and then tell me whether or not I should do it. I like to knit and watch sports. The best sport for it of course is baseball. Aside from that, I'm with Delighted Hands and love me a good mystery or PBS show. The boys got me a new dvd player for my bedroom so I did spend a little time with Persuasion or Jane Austen this weekend. Based on your interests, I would recommend Planet Earth series, informative and pretty.

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...

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...
