Just Looking

By -
Waking up slow here today.  (Well everyday)  Here's some fun stuff out there in the knit world.  
These are the Rush hour mitts from Knitpicks.com
Don't they look like they'd stay on so snugly?

Tincanknits.com has this apple pie hat pattern.  I'm kind of crazy about it. 

My pal Karen is knitting on her leftovers blanket.  I never thought about doing tiny squares. Isn't she good at the color choices?  They look perfect to me. 

Overwhelmingly, you voted for pickles yesterday.
I had a pickle recipe that we loved and then it went all viral that it could make you sick.  We never got sick.  

The heat is really on for most of us in the USA.
Stay cool.  Drink lots of liquids.
Keep your furries cool.

Oh I'm a sucker for those mitts. I can't get enough of them. Karen's blanket is so colorful and comfy looking. It makes me want to knit one.

The furries are drinking lots of water and remind me to do the same. We are into 100+ days now and don't go out in it much. Bill is having fits because we have a hard, fast rule--no golf over 90 degrees.

That apple pie hat is adorable.

Furry is getting plenty of iced water and had a nice bit of tuna for lunch. He's a HAPPY furry!

Love the mitts, and yes, they do look like they would stay in place.

Pickles are fun to make.

A hot wind has been howling here in the afternoon - drying everything out.

Oh it is warm and well the doctor told me to lay off the knitting for a bit because of the tendonitis or Carpal tunnel issue I have been having. UGH. Going thru withdrawal but vicariously living thru others.

I understand that I am missing a heat wave. Here in Berkeley, it is perfect!
I love that hat. So then I looked up the pattern on Rav. There are a bunch of other great patterns in the book it is from. Must. Have. Book. I'm blaming you for this purchase!

That hat is a great pattern and to be perfectly honest Kathy, I can see it on your head. Get to it! Fingerless Mitts are tempting me though ... I see them around a lot lately and they are so practical!

Stay cool. We have been rather lucky out here.

Love the hat and the mitts! Are you going to make them? You will need these for Wisconsin winters! Still cool here, but then Seattleites complain when it is in the 80s. Did you ask Caffeine Girl your Cable question? She might have an answer for you.....

The mitts look good but I love that apple pie hat with all of those criss crosses. Man, it seems I haven't worn a beanie for ages! That used to be my thing. Is your friend, Karen, following one of the Ravelry patterns for her sock/memory blanket?

It is hot here and I'm in bed listening to thunder. Maybe 100 this weekend? Yikes.

I am seriously considering pulling out my scrap sock blanket and knitting and pretending it's fall. I might just trick myself.!!

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...
