Posting Late Today

By -
 I had a rush of a morning.  It started with my lap top not taking my password.
This led to screen sharing with a Phone rep who was very patient.
He was in Canada.
You know I've been on awhile when I start asking where they are talking to me from and how is their weather...
I do love Apple products for their free phone support. 
He fixed my issue and don't ask me how, but we are up and running. 

I ran out to meet a friend for coffee, which was on my calendar. 
I took the never ending sock leftover blanket. 
Oh, if this blanket could talk...
I've been taking it with me for over a year now and it has heard quite a bit! 
My funny friend Helen from Ireland says, 
"Silent night on that now" when she doesn't want to be repeated.
I think I've told you that before. 
She is a crack up. 

Then Fireman and I walked in the woods nearby and these flowers were blooming everywhere. I don't think they are trillium...are they?
The trees have not leafed out yet so the floor of the woods are awash in blooming tiny flowers.  Yellows, pinks, whites.   
Oh and I have been liking the construction of this hat for quite some time.  It is on my list for someday. 

That's all for today. 
I'm off to knit on my pretty purple pink socks. 

How's it going in your part of the world?

It's been a CRAZY day around here trying to get things organized and cleaned up. :-(

Not the fun kind of stuff at all today. LOL

I LOVE that hat!!! If I wasn't dying from the heat today I'd be digging through the stash right now.
I had to wrestle one of the feral outdoor kitties to the vets this morning for her rabies shot. NO FUN. I trapped her in the house last night and she screamed the whole time. All the other cats went nuts. It was terrible. I wish they would invent a rabies pill like they do heartworm meds. She is so traumatized now and so am I.

This pattern reminds me of Capucine that I had tried to once make but I guess my gauge was totally off as it was coming out too small. Had to frog it.

Definitely a trillium. We have one in our yard! They're also called Wake Robins, I think. As the blossoms age they turn pink, or at least ours does. Love that fun hat!

Glad you got your computer stuff worked out. I do like that hat too! I just started another leftover sock yarn blanket. I made one last summer while at the lake. It was light enough to work on, even in the heat. The one I started this week is made up of squares. It's been pretty popular in the knitting podcast community lately.
Blessings,
Betsy

so glad that you were able to solve your computer problems, or well, someone in canada did. I had a weird thing happen yesterday but I clicked something and then it went all better. Not sure what that was about but my son was on it before me....I'll blame him!!

I love that hat! I can envision easy on and off and less hair muss. I don't know Trillium from Bachelor Buttons but I know those flowers are precious and so cute. I am off my sock knitting right now. Truth be told, I am bored with a lot of the patterns and knit ideas I have right now. I need a spring knitting tonic!

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...
