The tiger lilies are generations old. Yet, they still come back and bloom. I caught this shot at dusk and so it is blurred. I didn't want to use a flash. So don't adjust your screen or put on your glasses.....it's just blurred that's all.
My current WIP : Sally's Slippers by Renate Haeckler. Free on Ravelry
Sally's Slippers have this cute top and interesting geometric construction. I have to admit I was muddled with math as I tried to figure out how to make my size.
I am so with on that mouth thing. I've wished many times recently that I had just kept it shut.

Oh my! Use the duct tape. A pin sounds way too painful! LOL
I'm finally learning that I don't have to have an opinion on EVERYTHING! Or, if I do.....not everybody needs to hear about it. But, boy ---------sometimes it is just HARD to keep my mouth shut!
Maybe I need some duct tape too. I think I should buy some of that FANCY duct tape they have at the craft store.
I love the lily* ; the sunset is a good match! I have the pattern to knit these slippers, too, but never made them. However, I did knit quite a few pairs of big Lopi yarn slippers and felted them-they turned out okay! Have fun with your knitting/felting project-they will fit someone is right!
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. 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...
This is a call for knitters to knit a baby blanket no bigger than a cookie sheet. Blankets will be distributed in the NICU where I work. We just don't get many blankets. We need them. Traditional baby colors will do, but we'd love you to branch out a bit. Use up those leftovers if you wish. You could win a lovely prize. All who send a blanket by November 1st, ALL SAINTS DAY, you angels you, will be entered in the drawing. Here are the rules: Blanket must be made of yarn which is washable. Sorry, Hospital rules. It cannot be bigger than a cookie sheet. Smaller is welcome also. That's it. Those are the rules. I'll post the prize by next week. Mail a blanket to me Kathy B if you need my snail mail address,email me at Harpnut@gmail.com

May I borrow your roll of duct tape?

*I just posted a pic of my tiger lily!
Gauge + math = issues for almost every knitter everywhere.
