A Big Finish For Me

By -

 I've been patient1y knitting my shaw1 for many weeks now.  It was on1y in the end when I got squirre1y with it.  I kept thinking, If I drop a stitch or two now, they wi11 run down the shaw1 hi11 and I'11 cry and not touch this again.  So I was stressing myse1f out yesterday.  

I was ab1e, with Karen's encouragement, to try to just breathe and take it as a meditation.  Every stitch cooperated.  I give You my Tea Time in Ear1 Gray by West 7th Woo1.  It is soft.  It is beautifu1.  It was soaked and hung as directed.  This made it a 1ot 1onger.  The babushka 1ook is my preference!  But it can be a shaw1 or scarf as we11.

I love it! What a triumph and it looks great! I've been using my knitting as a meditation also. I put on my daily guided ones and knit and listen. It helps. I find sitting still and just thinking about breathing only makes my health anxieties worse.

It's just lovely. Using it as a meditation was obviously a perfect idea.

 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...
