Do you ever wonder.........

.............who reads your blog but doesn't comment? I do. I have a "Live Traffic Feed" on it and sometimes I take a look. This is who has looked at my blog for the last 9 days. I can figure out maybe 50% of the people but the rest are a mystery. Ireland? Someone in Ireland reads my blog? That's just amazing to me!!!

I won a blog award!!!

Nean the Bean (Anita) gave me a blog award. Please check out Anita's blog and take a look at her patterns. I've knit two of her fabulous patterns. ☺

The rules: Accept the award and post it on your blog with the name of the person that gave it to you. Pass on the award to as many bloggers as you wish and let them know you chose them for the award.

I'd love to give this award to everyone who reads my blog and leaves such encouraging comments but I thought I'd settle for a nice number and three sounded good. I'm giving this award to:

Mona

Vicky

Barb

Purple Swap on Ravelry

In my opinion there is no color better than purple. Ravelry had a purple swap that I had to join in. These two ballbands were part of the package I put together for my partner.

Have a purple day!!

Shawl That Jazz

I found the pattern here. It isn't as ruffly as I would have liked it to turn out, I'm sure I messed something up in the directions. It was a very easy knit and will be very cozy this winter. :-)

A baby blankie for Renee

My friend Marlene requested a baby blankie for her niece Renee. Renee's baby is due next month. I hope she likes it, it's pretty comfy.

Cane Cozy

My DH decided I needed a cane cozy for my temporary cane.

10.5” circulars with a cast on of 18.
Knit for 15 inches, purl one round, knit two rounds, knit two together all the way around, draw it closed.

I like it.

Lucy needed a dishcloth

Lucy is my friend Kathy's puppy. Lucy is actually two years old now but she's still Kathy's puppy. I saw this dishcloth and had to make it for her. I'm guessing Kathy will probably be the one to use it but I'm sure Lucy won't mind sharing with her mom.

Octopi

Aren't these the cutest

I know the greatest people!!

I had foot surgery two weeks ago and just had to say that I have the most thoughtful family and friends.

Marlene sent me a get well card and one sock per day for seven days. She says I can have the matching socks when the cast is off......... maybe. She just makes me smile.


Kathy sent me Skittles (no pictures but we all know what they look like) because she said they work better than Vicodin and the latest Knit.1 magazine. She was right about the Skittles.

My sister sent flowers.

Dona and her family sent flowers.

My mom sent the most incredible fruit arrangement from Edible Arrangements. I'd certainly consider them as a replacement for flowers that I might be sending, they were yummmmmmm.

Wendy came for a visit and brought flowers.

My boss and his wife sent flowers.

Mona sent chocolate covered bing cherries......... yummmmmmmmmm Sorry Mona everyone loved them and they were gone before I could take a picture.

Sheila sent the most adorable stuffed bear with a cast that she signed. It doesn't get cuter than this bear and he's been on the table next to me since he arrived.


I didn't count how many cards arrived but here's a picture. A big hug and a giant thank you to you all!!

Sunbonnet Sue

My friend Susie is a knitter but I really believe that her first love is quilting. She couldn't find a Sunbonnet Sue dishcloth so she designed this one and I test knitted it. I think it's adorable.

Contest on Darcy's blog

Head on over to Darcy's blog to enter to win this lovely project bag AND adorable stitch markers created by Patt.

If you enter, please tell Darcy I sent you. Good Luck!!

Felted Bowl

This was the hardest thing I've ever felted. I don't know if I should've doubled the yarn (Noro) but I've never had anything take this long to felt in my life. I think I ran it through the cycle 6 times before I gave up. BUT, I do like the bowl and I've always wanted to make a felted one. It's going to live on my coffee table. Wonder what it will end up holding.

This cracks me up every time!!

The Llama Song

Ggester Hat

I found this pattern on Ravelry and fell in love with it.

As you can see, my son was not in a hat modeling mood. I think that both he and the hat are darned cute!!

Doesn't everyone need a knitted lip balm cozy?

I knitted this as a swap gift. I think it came out cute and I'm hoping the giftee likes it.

Vote for Susie!!! (please)

I wonder, is this cheating? I don't know but I know it can't hurt.

My friend Susie designed this reusable bag for Kroger. She says "My odds are like 1 in a bazillion of winning the $1K. Kroger (and other stores) have this "design a reusable shopping bag contest." You can design your bag and then people can vote on it. If you have the most votes, you win $1000. So, I'm going to be a schmooze and beg for votes."

I'm guessing she'll see me schmooze for her the next time she looks at my blog but what are friends for. If you're so inclined to vote, here's the link.

Thanks!!

Meet the newest member of our bunny family

This is Floppy Joe. The first picture is when he was getting ready to meet our girl bunny. I'm not sure if she has a name, I call her Girl Bunny. We have another male named Hoppy but I tend to call him Boy Bunny. I was going to name the latest addition "Another Bunny" but my son wants to call him Floppy Joe.

I'll probably still call him Another Bunny.
