Somebody Please, Bless My Heart!

"Is there NOT any Room in this House where there is NOT a Knitting Project in progress?"

Asked the Non-Knitter and only other person who lives here!

The answer....Nupe Nope!

It's on the screened in porch....of course...it's been so nice to sit out there and knit!

It doesn't seem to bother Ruby!

And it really doesn't bother the Non-Knitter....he's just askin'!

Naturally it is All Over The Nest!

This reminds me of the phrase, "You can't see the forrest for the trees"!  

I'm feeling a little bit like someone needs to be saying,

"Bless Sue's Heart, she's suffering so with MultipleShawl/Scarf/Bag/BlankeeArexia"!

Anybody Want to Knit On A Sweater? NUPE NUPE NUPE

Yep, we are a group of Wishy Washy Wednesday Knitters!

Just let One of Us SwitchOff the Sweater Challenge and the rest of us are Stuffin' the Sweater in a Bag!

Now, I'm not One to Gossip.....but....I'm not the only One who

Switched and Stuffed The Sweater in favor of  Scarf Knitting!  

In fact, I was all set to Sweater Knit on Wednesday and I get a message from the

YadaYadaYada WiseOne that says,

"I can't wait to become obsessed with knitting this scarf too.

Bring it to work on for the Wed Knit group (we'll get back to sweaters next week)"

I'm thinkin', "Bless her Heart, Susan needs a break from that Sweater. 

What difference will ONE LilOle Scarf make in the Big KnitPicture".

That's my ONE Scarf...right there in the middle.

The REST are Bless Her YadaYada Hearts!

Like I said....I'm not One to Gossip....but....I think she has MultipleStartScarfArexia!

Bless Her Heart!

And Gina....she's knitting on a deadline!  Her Scarf and Sweater have been Bagged!

But Ya'll already know how Gina is a 'Multi-Project' knitter!

I have no doubt she will walk in one Wednesday and pull her Finished Challenge Sweater outta her Magic Bag along with a couple of Rabbits, a Bouquet of Flowers and a Bag of Chocolate Eggs!

As for Me....I'm Baggin' It All and usin' my Knitting Sticks for Stakes!

Progressive/Obsessive Scarf Knitting...

...and More Yada Yada Yada Wisdom!

I swear, it's becoming so I can't even get through my first cuppa coffee!

EVERY morning since I started this Progressive Scarf I find myself knitting and sipping.

Like THIS morning while having coffe on the porch!

The sunlight was warm and perfect for showing off PS#3...the Diamond Lace Pattern.

See my book with the 'Row Counting Method'?

That's some of SusanB's Yada Yada Yada Wisdom that I MustDo in order to keep

on the 50 Stitch Pattern Count!  Miss a YO and it's another Yada Yada Yada....Tinking!

I'm getting good at Tinking! 

It's your scarf, you can use whatever yarn and needles you want!

 Isn't that the greatest thing about knitting?!

The Progressive Scarf and the Wisdom of 'Yada Yada Yada'

On my last Post...just below this one...I listed mine and Gina's progressions on My Progressive Scarf!

When Gina left,  it looked like this...picture above. 

 I was all happy that we she had fixed my mess by picking up, adding a stitch and covering a missed YO with,

 "Nobody will notice the diagonal is off or that the missed YO hole is not a hole but a solid knit stitch." 

And the clincher, " Maybe Susan won't notice."

You know what she always says,  "If it was me, I'd rip it all and and yada yada yada." 

Then I continued with another row...on my own. 

Now it looks like this...picture above!!! 

Back to a Yarn Cake!  What is it with Me and Sock Yarn and Needles Under a Size  6 7 8 okay 10's!

So what do you do when Varigated Sock Yarn is not workin' for you!

I go diggin' in my Stash for Solid whatever!

I have no clue what this yarn is!  No labels and no idea where it came from!

But I LIKE IT!

The Patterns and Stitches are easier to see! 

The Needles are BIGGER...#4's...okay, not that much bigger!

I think the yarn is a DK weight...not sure about that...but it sounds good!

And just look at those Diagonals!

And the Feather and Fan....got it all right the first time through the pattern!

I did have to get organized with row counting and the chart. 

So organized that I'm working both sections of the scarf at once!

I've patted myself on the back so much in the last couple of days that

I'm considering the Master Knitter Program!

I'm just starting Pattern Stitch #3...The Diamonds!

I hope I haven't broken my arm patting myself on the back.

PS#3 may put me back in my place a stitch or two!

But I LIKE IT!

I've really enjoyed this Knitting, this WhateverYarn, the Solid Colors,

the Larger Needles and the Warm Weather!

There is definately Wisdom in  Susan's  'Yada Yada Yada'!

I think I'm progressing! 

It Was a Progressive Wednesday!!!!

My Goodness! 

 How time flies when you are Not Knitting...

but you Want to Knit...

and you Think about Knitting...

but you Want to Dig in the Dirt!

I just can't HELP Myself! 

 The Weather has been so Nice and Warm!

It's That Time of the Year!

For Digging in the Dirt!

For Planting Tomatoes!

And for sharing the Love of Digging in the Dirt!

Oh Yeah!  About Wednesday Knitters! 

 This week Gina and I met for our Weekly Sweater Challenge Knitting Day!

Here's Gina's Sweater....remember I told you she would have Multiple Projects going during this Sweater Challenge? 

Well, if I were keeping count, this sweater for her Granddaughter would be project number five or six...but whose counting!

My Challenge Sweater?

Ha!

It's in the basket looking like a VooDoo Happening!

All those DPN's stuck in the Sleeves!

I'm getting kinda Scared!

So I started 'A New Project'!

It's a Progressive Lace Scarf and a KnitALong with the

Concho Valley Knitters Guild!

I'm a new member!

Gina and I had a progressive knitting afternoon. 

We progressed from one thing to the next which included....
- my show and tell dish rags
- her progressive lace scarf
- my VooDoo Sweater
- her teapot needlepoint project
- our Tea and Bread Pudding
- my messed up lace scarf
- her row of sweater knitting
- my dropped stitch
- her fixing my dropped stitch
- my missed YO
- her fixing my missed YO
- my finally knitting a whole row

It was a very progressive afternoon!

I hope you will join us next week with your project!
