Special Edition

By -
Ready to felt. 
Played yarn chicken and lost with the deep green.
Hey the light green works. 
That's the joy of these Stockings, they are very individual.
I dont' want to whine here, you know it is not my way,
But I'm not in the mood to work another gusset. 
So today I'll cast on more dishcloths. 
Wheee! 
IF you haven't already heard about the limited edition SWEDISH FISH oreos let me just tell ya. 
The taste is there but the texture is off. 
I had two. 

Off to the shelter to help spays and neuters. Have you ever noticed how many of us knit bloggers are regular volunteers? Be it at schools or with the Falls, or donating knitted or crocheted items (Harry's Hundred needs more) or volunteering at school.  We give and we enjoy it!

Happy Giving
Happy Swedish fish

I like the stocking even if it is a bit unique! I used to love my old radiators...best spot to sit in the winter!

I love how each of your Christmas stockings is different. They all turn out great! Hmmm...Swedish Fish...I may need to go visit the vending machine in the kitchen at work.

My husband and I saw the Swedish Fish flavor Oreo at Mariano's the other day. While we will eat regualr Oreos at times this one we did not want to try.

I'll take "normal" Oreos any day over the Swedish Fish. Why mess with a good thing?

The light green looks good in the stocking.

One dishcloth completed for the swap and working on the second. I need to knit today.

You are just cranking out those stockings! Good for you. I am not sure how I feel about Swedish Fish Oreos though...

Oreos haven't been the same since they took the trans fats out. :-(

Oh well ....I really shouldn't be eating them anyway. LOL

The new little stocking is adorable. You are going to have quite the stash of those by December.

Oh wow, that is a funky lookin' Oreo. I liked the Mint ones and we also tried Blueberry Pie ones. Not bad. I don't blame you if you're tired of gussets. You've knitted quite a few of fun Christmas stockings.

I can't even with those Oreos. For the most part I am a purist when it comes to flavors and Oreos are not supposed to taste like fish, Swedish or not.

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...
