Arenn't they lovely? Diane, the lurker, mentioned she is knitting this for her daughter. In passing. LIke it was nothing. She is an amazing nurse, dear friend and terrific knitter. Am I late to the party, again, or is this a newer pattern? For some reason VERENA Europe's top knitting mag was on my Walgreen's news/magazine stand today. Funny I like their patterns better than Interweaves lately. Sometimes Interweave is too far from what I'd ever wear to offset the price of the magazine. Lots of lace in the issue I picked up. I'll just stick to my easy lace pattern when I get back to knitting, but I can dream of course. IF you couldn't this week, what would you do????? I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Just Sayin. I'm so ready for baseball. I don't expect anything this season. Grace of lovincomfortknits.blogspot.com posted a picture( on her yesterday's post )of her lace shawl fitting through a wedding ring. I think this is amazing. I can barely fit my finger through my weddding ring. If you don't know Grace and her lace shawls you really are missin out! Her B/P is up this morning so say something funny when you visit. I met Darcy through Grace at darcyknottyknitter.blogspot.com and she posted for me too! She has posted an image of a man spinning angora right off a bunny's back. I have such thick hair you could probably spin half my hair off and no one would notice. Then I could make a hair shawl and fit it through a hoola hoop. I told Al this morning that Graces B/P is up. Fireman said, "who's Grace?" we both looked at him from the computer screen and he said, "Oh your pretend friend." I don't think pretend friends post pict...

Odds are I won't even get a rabbit, but I cannot stop looking at them. These 3 are so cuddly looking. I think it is comfort therapy as knitting is still forbidden. I read a book the other night because I couldn't knit. It wasn't at all the same. It was book about a knitter and I swear to God, in the end she gets tendonitis and has to quit knitting. I had no idea this was the ending. There was a fascinating part in the book where the author says she learns that Shetland Lace is spun so fine, you can take their shawls and slide them through a wedding ring. I immediately thought of Grace from LovinComfortKNits. Grace, cmon, give us a post where you pull your gorgeous lace scarf through a wedding ring. I KNOW YOU CAN. (Oh BTW, Irish eyes Lynn loved her comments on the Central Park sweater. She is having trouble with posting comments but she says THANKS! for the comments from you all!) I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

With the new beginning, per Blogger count, I am looking ahead! In this the thousandth post, I will share my long term goal with you. I want to raise an angora bunny. The German Kind that you shear. I don't want Fireman to worry, it will take me 4 or 5 years to research this in order to bring it about. We have a saying around our house, "We have too many things that poop right now." 3 cats and one dog equals lots of clean up all the time. In the future, however, I do think I'd like an outside angora or two. If they need a companion to be happiest, I will definitely have two. The mascot on the new Blog heading is so cute. I googled Angora rabbit images and there it was....... I do love angora. I wish I had a little farm. This would be enough farm for me. A rabbit or two, just to look cute and give me some wool. It is a good thing I have spinny friends. That's my long term goal. On to the next 1000 posts! See you in the comments. ("be very very ...

Happy Spring. Lest you think my part of the world is covered in beauty, it is not. This is the only flower sighting with a mile of my home. I'm impatient at best, for the green up to start. Midday and its 37 degrees out. Oh well, I can wear my dream in color hat a bit more. That is one bright side. I am impatent as well for the week to be over. My dear mom told me not to knit a week ago. I had a steroid injection on the 10th and the instructions were to let it rest as much as humanly possible for 3 weeks. I am off from work for a good stretch coincidentally at this time, so it is arm's best chance to heal. That is one for the bright side. Al and Fireman will attest to the fact that I am asking, "what should we do NOW?" about a hundred times a day. I've been going to bed at 830 pm. Oh yes, I get up at the regular time. Al left me a list of things to try when I cannot knit today and I am home. They included learning how to fold a fitted sheet. I did...

This baby deserved her own post. Lynn sent me this image of her Gorgeous Finished Perfect FIt Central Park With her own lovely collar. Lynn's masterpiece was knit in Beaverslide Dry Goods Worsted Weight in yes, Huckleberry heather. It really is so pretty Lynn. You have until my Birthday to make one for me. Same colors please......... I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

There once was a lassie who balked at stopping her knitting for naught, and her dog was so smart he mastered the art of walking himself round the block. I'll talk to you in the comments. :)
