Because I really do listen to You!

By -
So Monday on the Meme I asked for some of your favorite pattern designers. 
I got around to looking each of them up, you too DEE!
Shellie Anderson's Slope top is just lovely. 
I'd categorize her patterns as sleek and classic. 

Cookie A's patterns are sweet and whimsical.  This crochet mouse makes me want to start with the hook again.  But IF  YOu GIVE A  MOUSE A COOKIE.....you know what happens. 

This is Cherry Hearts Painted Rose blanket.  I'm in love.  Those are all my colors.  What a sweet and stunning creation. 

Finally, Heidi Kirrmaier's Boardwalk vest is my favorite of her patterns. 
I think I could knit this! 
But I have leaves to play with yet, so I will fave this one on my Ravelry page. 

Thanks for everyone who shared some of their favorites.   
It is a really fun launching pad for future knit and crochet plans. 

Happy FRIDAY!

I love that leaf pattern you are knitting! If you want a source for knitted toys and hats, check out Susan B. Anderson. Her patterns are great. (Long ago our grand nieces Chloe was in one of her books wearing a cute project.) That is a nice looking vest, BTW!

Oh I do like that vest! And Slope -- that is the one I started last summer. I got up to the decrease portion for the arms and stopped. Now that it is slowly getting warm, I need to pick this up again and finish it!

The rose blanket is so pretty. If I didn't have two blankets on the needles I'd be tempted to start that one. The vest looks lovely too.

That blanket is to die for!!!! If I didn't already have a crochet blanket from hell in the works I'd be casting (chaining?) that on.

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...

(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.
