Scary Stuff and Smart Suggestions

By -

I have packed the yarn.  
These are the best of my stash. 
They are in the box with the swift and the sock blockers. 
Deep breath. 
All will be well. 

This means I can ONLY work on my Christmas Stockings for a few weeks.  It is the only yarn and needles I left out. 


I totally loved that so many of you felt comfy enough with a knit skill to teach for 5 minutes. 
So.....
No, I'm not asking you to do that.

However here is the list of those who thought they could help amongst us.  If you want to know more about their specialty maybe you can ask them directly?

Vera: Setting up a swift and ball winder

Val: Wandering Cat : Lace 

Stefanie-Wooly Cakes and Wooden Spoons:
Knitting is my Yoga

Delighted Hands: Invisible weaving in of ends. 

Deb of Araignee's Tangled Web: Magic loop method for beginners

My Allison: chart reading. And I can connect you if you want to reach her. 

me, Kathy B, here :
Felting.  For all. 

So looks like if we all met at my house we could set up a swift and ball winder, cast on lace socks with a chart, knit with yogalike zen together , weave in the ends invisibly and NOT felt the socks .

Well, my discussion was going to be on my frustrations of setting up my swift and ball winder - ha-ha. But, I do like the idea of us all getting together at your place Kathy...sometime after the move? A nice thought...it sure would be fun to all meet up sometime.

I have always thought it would be fun to have a yarny retreat with like-minded peeps in a gorgeous place with waiters to bring us snacks and fruity drinks. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

I could use a house full of knitters to cheer me up-sounds wonderful.
We can meet at your new house and throw you a house warming party!!!!

That would be cool to meet up with you. Wish we could transport via "energize" or floo powder. Did you by chance get my card? ^__^

Blessings, Betsy

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...
