By the way...

Guess what came in the mail! I can't wait to start a little Hogwart sweater! I think I have some nice tweedy blue somewhere, if I can find a wee bit of gold'ish yarn for the H on the front...
And I adore HyaHya needles! No discoloration, chipping, icky stuff that I've been hearing about with nickel plated and other finishes..these are simply stainless steel, smooth and the sweetest joins on the circulars. I've really loved those double pointed needles they have too! Lighter than air, so I can even use the steel for making kids hats and socks without them falling out or tiring my hands.

More catching up!

It's summertime! Lovely, lazy, shade-tree summertime! Therefore, the blog sits patiently, while I'm dreaming thru the daze. Not to say I haven't been busy with my needles...here's the progress of a little yellow sweater, no pattern but my old method that allows me to mindlessly knit and it seems to always fit. Sweaters do look pitiful as they grow, then suddenly they blossom. The little pink sweater has mismatched sleeves, the white on the left will come out and be replaced by the softer speckled yarn on the right. As usual, no pattern, just knitting....

Catching up!

It's been ages since I posted, but summertime is always so full of things that need to be done and those lovely lazy hot afternoons. I've knitted and goofed off joyfully! Of course the herb garden isn't yet done, the old computer up and died finally, the new puter is settled in nicely, the kids are growing, dogs are following the shade diligently and the cats are being cats.

Today's news...our son has popped the question amid flowers, lobster dinner, cake and much laughter. M is a lovely young lady with two children, our son has one little guy and they've combined families perfectly! (Notice the surrounding applause...)

We're all thrilled and looking forward to watching wonderful years ahead for them all!
