MysteryBagIllness...QKS

Is there such a Thing as QueasyKnitterSyndrome?

I was just getting over SSS (SecondSockSyndrome) when struck with this new KnittersDisease.

I don't know what else to call it!

There I was with SusanB-Knits in the BackSeat learning to knit from a CHART/GRAPH...

Yes, I know it's another exciting NewKnittingThingy...

When suddenly we HAD to PULLOVER!

That was the end of Chart/Graph Knitting,

work on Part II of KAL, and riding in the backseat. And I had such plans to finish Part II before Part III arrived.

So, it took exactly ONE week to recover from QKS....I tell myself that's the reason because that's how long it was before I got back to KAL Part II. When in reality I recovered that very same afternoon in time to eat Mexican Food. Priority's...you know!

Part III message is Flashing on Ravelry!!!....Wait!!!

Okay...Now I'm Ready.... for on this day of 104 degree heat...in the month of July...in the State of Texas, SuKnitWitty...in her KnittingNest...Has Completed the NotSoHard ChartChallenge, and the SecondRound of TuffTuckStitch and...Yes!.....Now...Bring on Part III....as soon as SusanB gets it figured out!

Lamkins has just about had it with this BeingBehind.

Especially now that She..ep knows that Part IV Message has been Flashing on Ravelry since Wednesday.

So, here she is ShowingOff our Part II and pushing me to get on with Part III.

She was not very sympathetic to my attach of QKS....

as I left her in TheNest to study up on Part III, when she really wanted to make the day trip to Buffalo Gap.

Oh Well....like I 'splained' to Lambkins...'Sheep Happens'.

TEXAS...MyTexasQuilt

Block #1 State of Texas

Texas is a State of Mind. Texas is an Obsession. Above all Texas is a Nation in every sense of the word. John Steinbeck

Texas IS an Obsession…Just ask any Texan!

Everything IS BiggerNBetter in Texas. Just ask any Texan!

Texas has it’s own language.

Just ask any Texan!

They’ll tell you Texans don’t have accents. You simply gotta understand TexasTalk.

For instance, in Texas all sentences should end in a preposition, and tho English is the primary language used in Texas, for some reason, you have to learn Spanish in order to understand it.

Comprende!

If you follow the ‘Word Links’ I’m droppin like CowPatties on a CattleDrive, you’ll browse around the BiggerNTexas WWWeb (one of the few things Bigger) and learn lots of

Texas History…Texas Jokes…TexasCountry Reporter…and about…Texas Folks.

MadeInAmerica..MapsMusic&MoreJuly

MAPS on the WWWeb? You know It! Especially if you Spell it Backwards…
S P A M!

Betcha thought this Post was going to be a TravelLog for SeeAmericaInJuly.

Nope…it’s too HOT. Not about SPAM either….just thought I’d show off my ReverseSpellnSkills!

It’s really about Kate, Elvis, Conway&Loretta, Francis, The Mickey Mouse Singers and others on the Playlist of Patriotic Songs. Just want to hear them Sing awhile longer.

So, for the Month of July SuKnitWitty will feature MadeInAmericaMusic , AmericaMap and July….which BTW…was not named for an American….but, in honor of Julius Caesar by The Roman Senate in 46 B.C.

Reading Maps…To put it Nicely…I’m Directionally Challenged! To put it in words of the Driver to the SuNavigator w/theMap…”You don’t know Snap from ShineOla”! Okay, my theory is Always TurnRight….that way UCan NEVER go Wrong…and, I’m always Right except when I get Right and Left confused. I’m getting the Driver a ‘TomTomThingy’ for Christmas…or sooner.

Enough about Maps….Okay...One more…I found this PuzzleMap at the AntiqueBarn. I think I can use this one to find my way around the USA well enough for a FewFeaturePost on States. Starting with…TEXAS…of course. Be sure to Navigate your way back to SuKnitWitty for some LoneStarStuff. If you get lost…try your PCTomTom…GOOGLE.

Now, JULY…named for Julius Ceasar...I’ll not elaborate…Everybody knows Et Tu Brute and all that RomanRumble.

From SuKnitWitty's FrontDoor To Yours - Salutations on The Fourth of July!

"You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, NOT with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism." ~Erma Bombeck

My Patriotism will be showing way past The Fourth. Try these UnBelieveable Sweet All-American Desserts.
