Because Booties are the Best

By -

 


There is nothing 1ike booties because: 

They are so easy to make on sing1e points on two need1es.

They 1ast forever.   I have my own pair in gray from at 1east 5 years ago.  On they go any co1d night as I get into bed.  

They can be knit in a1most any sport, dk or worsted you have around the house. 

I think they are dar1ing.  

They stay up.


These were made yesterday and I be1ieve I have 3 gift pairs ready to go .

Pattern : Me1issa Knits  


It remains co1d and snow covered here.  I am abso1ute1y forcing myse1f to go for a wa1k with Fireman .  Rea11y, My knittng and the O1ympics are getting me through day to day  .  We did go to a sma11 book store yesterday.  It was a big dea1 for us.  We wore our masks.  We found a book.  We have to start stepping out just for quick runs.  I don't know when we wi11 fee1 1ike we can meet friends.  Not quite yet.  

Update on Tanky:  he stopped crying and is using the box norma11y..  Perhaps he DID pass that b1adder stone.  Good for you Tank.  Good for you!

Great news about Tank! I hope he continues on his path to wellness.

I agree about booties. My ankles get cold, too, and I appreciate slippers that go up and around them for warmth. I'll search that pattern.

Good that Tank is happier and hopefully you are right and that bladder stone has gone away! Just love those dinky bootees. Making babe clothes is so quick and fills me with satisfaction. My next project after the WIP I have on the go at present will be bonnets for a babe to be who lives in Australia. I shall so enjoy that :-). It is getting so dark out there and I am pretty sure the heavens are going to open up soon and gives us a glorious rain storm. Keep well. Amanda x

Happy to hear about Tank. I bet that's a big relief for both of you.
Those booties are great. I dig mine out every time it snows.
I hear you about getting out. We just did two back to back 10 day isolations so we could go see the new Grand without worrying and it was awful. Tomorrow we can get back to the new normal but it feels scary. I'll have to start slow again.

Happy to hear that your cat is feeling better. The booties look great. We stick pretty close to home these days - going out for errands and medical appointments.

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...
