 Good Saturday morning. 
Neighbor flowers. 
Purdy. Everywhere I look is purdy. 

 Current Christmas Sock Pre Felt. 
I know it is a cruddy photo, but that's what you get from me today.  No staging, no nothing.  In the moving mode,
gotta forgive me. 

 Al loved a yarn shop on her way home from Tulsa.
It gave her that yarn delirium. 
It is called Sealed with a Kiss.  Or SWAK. 
She came home with yarn from the Festival and plans to learn brioche. 
Have you done brioche? 


Garage sale score! 
I've been looking for a basket to put my camera in.
4.75 cents thank you very much. 
Attatches to the bike post. 

There were lemonade stands all over the place yesterday. I stopped at two.  

I asked Al if there were lemonade stands in Oklahoma and she said no. The children would die if  they sat outside and tried to sell lemonade for a quarter.  yikes.  Guess its not that hot here. 
But humidity?  Oh we got that!  

Happy Saturday. 
Love me some comments!

Great score on the bike tote. That looks like a nice one.

Good luck with the moving preps!

Humidity? Oh yeah! We got that!

Great bike basket! Ultra humid here too. I went to a new (to me) yarn shop this morning - Slip Knot. Small but very nice. I wasn't going to buy, but I did...

It's fun to find the perfect item at a yard sale - love your bike tote!

Brioche? No, I haven't tried it, but some ladies in the Fiber Guild have made some nice things using the technique.

We've got the hot and the humidity here and it's making me crazy with a capital C. Nothing pretty here anymore. Everything is moldy and burnt. Ugh.
I love your stockings and can't believe how fast you are cranking them out.
No brioche here. It makes my head hurt reading the directions.

If I were moving I would probably die with all the stuff I have. I think I'll stay put until the end. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

That bike basket was a great find. You are on a roll with those socks. And brioche? I haven't tried it but have been seeing it a lot on podcasts. I may have to try it sometime. It's been hot here but no humidity. We have had strong winds today and smoke...so there's a wildfire burning somewhere close by, I just don't know where.
Blessings,
Betsy

Wow, another stocking; good work! It is another pretty one for sure!
I love Brioche-once you get it, it is awesome! I like it in the round and flat. Go for Al!

We don't see lemonade stands around here either. Only once in SF a boy was selling lemonade. Didn't trust how it was made but I gave him $10 as he was donating some of his proceeds to a charity.

Not humid here and the sun's been out for a whole week with more sunny days promised! As for Brioche, I tried it but decided it's class material; it seems complex.

Nice basket!

Strange - we had clear, almost fall-like weather yesterday. The sun was hot but the shade was pretty cool, if you know what I mean. And the sky was a deep clear blue.

My sister introduced me to a new yarn store the other day. It's a good thing I don't live near any yarn stores. :)

Great camera carrier!
Humid here. It does bring out the curl in my hair, though, so I have mixed feelings about it.
Tried brioche twice at classes. Still can't do it. But I have faith in Al!

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...
