"Yeah, Nice Lady"

It's a quote that's been running around my head now for a week. It's from a movie, can't remember which one but all I know is that when it was said, the quote was from a guy and it had absolutely NOTHING to do with the movie. The guy was beat up, drugged or something. It will come to me, but right now, it's just random garble in my head.

Which happens when I finish up a semester of school. I get random stuff stuck in my head.

I also have a severe case of ADD. It's gotten to the point where I'm CLEANING  and knitting dishcloths! DISHCLOTHS people!  There's not a thing wrong with dishcloths, really. It is just a symptom of my inability to concentrate for more than 2 seconds. I feel like a fish in Finding Nemo.

One of 2 baby blankets I've finished in the last month or so. This one is interesting in that the yarn is a super-bulky yarn from Red Heart: boutique dash.  Ok, so the yarn is like spool knitted. I found a skein in clearance and started fiddling with it to see if I could unravel it. Yep! And once I got it started, I HAD to buy it.

One skein wasn't enough and danged if this stuff is hard to find.  The 2nd skein came on Mother's day and I have this one off the needles. It's uber-soft and warm.  This one will go to my nephew and his mate on the birth of their next offspring.

If it were any bigger, I'd keep it myself since its soo soft, but it's really not big enough for my lap. Ah well.

Baby goosies have hatched and this years' Mama and Daddy are Ron and Gracie.  They're doing a wonderful job of it and have conned another female into helping. So enter.......Auntie Eleanor.

Here's Mama Gracie with the babies. Tonks is in the sled turned into a bathtub while Lupin is standing there with attitude. I find that these sleds make great baby baths for the goslings. It keeps them out of the bigger pools which is a Godsend because they can get stuck in them and drown. These little pools are set next to a big pool so Mom and Dad can bathe while keeping and eye on the little ones.

Now right now I'm only guessing we have one male and one female based on their sizes and how they walk. I worried about Tonks there for a while, she did not seem to be growing at all. Compared to her brother, she's a little smidge of a goose. But she IS growing and that's what matters. Mama Gracie and Daddy Ron are VERY protective of them and are great parents.

1000th Feedback!!!

KIP Bags by Ruddawg has gotten their 1000th feedback! In honor of this momentous occasion, I am giving away a One of a Kind KIP Bag filled with goodies. The stuff? A sampling based on the idea "A Few of my Favorite Things." What are a few of my favorite things? Well, KIP bags, of course. This one is red velvet, 10" high by 7 1/2" wide. A red velvet wrist strap allows for knitting and walking at the same time. It has a decorator fabric bottom and fancy stitching at the top to give it a more festive look. What is in the bag? The top fuzzy item is a pair of socks. Not just socks, but a pair of those fuzzy and oh so soft socks. I am a fiend for socks! I ask for a new set of socks every year for my birthday. Next is a skein of Alpaca yarn - Caramel in color. I love, love LOVE alpaca! This skein is from Blue Sky Alpacas, 120 yards of Sport Weight Yarn. The red item is my most useful tool for knitting, sewing and everything else. It's a small swiss army knife that ...

Update on Knit-Alongs

Mystery Stole3: Ok, I am confessing that I honestly and truthfully did try to like the stole as the pattern was made, but it didn't click with me. Even after trying to re-dye the whole thing, I considered the wing with the stole portion to be discordant. So last night I frogged it all. OH the horror!! I'm re-working the stole portion as it's own pattern, probably for my Mom for Christmas. I've started it again, and put in the beads this time. Secret of the Stole: I started this one with my own handspun cream Targhee wool. It's weight is fingering weight and it's being knitted on size 3 addi circs. The beads are green. I didn't realize until I had gotten home with them that the chart has green squares as the indicator to put in a bead. Wow....can we say, subliminal? There was a comment on the email group that the two points were a great bikini top. My DH said the same thing this last weekend when I joined them all together. I was in the car at the time, drivi...

Secret of the Stole: Clue 3 Finished!

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/secretofthestole/ Clue 3 is finished! I am knitting it in handspun 2-ply yarn on size 3 addi circular needles with beads. The beads used to be only green, now I've added lavender and gold ones also. To me, this looks like a spider and web-themed stole. Notice the 3 spiders on it? I call them spiders because they have 8 legs each.
