Saturday Clocks Back

By -
Turning back time here.  These fingerless were made years ago. . I didn't like the look when they were finished.  Turns out I love them now.  I thought they were like the abominable snowman's fuzzy coat.  

 I swear they are from 2004.  They machine wash and dry.  They are crochet edged in angora.  

 I'm knitting fingerless now in an angora bunny blend.  I'm suddenly all about fingerless again.  Useful for keyboards and driving and all those good things.  Haha: I'm designing a simple pattern and calling it :Wringing My Hands fingerless for the Cubs last game win! 

 We have our shelter Gala tonight.  It's been a big chuck of time and energy.  I hope we are very successful in fundraising.  I'm nervous. 
Isn't that silly?   
All of your volunteer comments were enlightening to me.  I'm thinking them all through.  

 Happy Turn Back the clocks night!  Welcome darkness, you have your strong points too!

That is some interesting yarn! How hard was that to knit with? Looks like it has a lot going on.

Good Point Dee. It was NOT Easy to work with at all I recall. BUt it hid a multitude of early new knitter sins!

Have a great Gala! Don't be nervous, it will be great. I love mitts--mostly because it rarely gets really cold here and it is easier to drive with mitts than gloves.

I think that what you said made a lot of sense. However, what about this? what if you added a little content?

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...
