The pink fold over mitts are finished
and I’m moving on with wristlets in Blue Moon Fiber Art’s sock yarn. I am knitting them flat on my much loved
Signature 7 inch straights which don’t get enough use, using my old favorite
double moss stitch (or plain old seed stitch) and seaming them together later. Knitting’s good.
I have promised myself I will learn
magic loop and since I didn’t have any circular needles long enough to
accomplish that goal I have ordered them. I guess I should be ashamed to admit
that after a lifetime of knitting I still do not know how to use the magic loop
method, but at least I will be able to prove that old dogs can learn new
tricks! So next pair of socks will be two
on the loop!!
Macy is sporting her new Cubs bandana
that was sent to her by Kathyb. She/we
are so honored that the bandana was once worn by the famous Huck. She also sent a collectible Cub Batter
because we are fellow Cubs lovers—love them when they lose—love them even when
they are dead last! I like the Rangers
when they win but when they lose I don’t have the same feeling of “Oh my poor
babies. Things will get better!” Nope, if they don’t win the Rangers are on
their own.
The birdies are still doing their hit
and run routine and giving us a real show.
This Hummingbird stopped at our breakfast nook window to share breakfast
and at the same time the Downy Woodpecker was finishing off the last of a suet
cake. It doesn’t get any better!!
It doesn’t matter what is happening
with the people types, Macy and Max are all about play time. Two seconds after I took this picture Macy
grabbed the toy out of Max’s mouth and took off. I love having the pups around because they
keep my priorities straight!!
Life is good.
