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...
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...

May I borrow your roll of duct tape?

Gauge + math = issues for almost every knitter everywhere.
