Your Brain’s Pattern
Your mind is a firestorm – full of intensity and drama.
Your thoughts may seem scattered to you most of the time…
But they often seem strong and passionate to those around you.
You are a natural influencer. The thoughts you share are very powerful and persuading.

What Pattern Is Your Brain?

those of you who know me are all thinking one thing:
???
we always pictured her brain as sort of paisley …..

knitting spring cleaning

Kathleen asked me what is on my knitting line up …. I am in the process of finishing the Diagonal Rib Socks (remember those? can’t believe I never finished them!) and that will clean my knitting slate and make room for working on the Irish Diamond Shawl and the vest for Boar. I have officially abandoned the Chinese Sweater. It is in a holding pattern while I mull over the likelihood of ever wearing it.

I am in the mood to tidy up my knitting – mentally and physically. Before I begin the next round of projects I want to take stock of my inventory – needles, books, stash etc. Get all the needles back in their cases, books on the shelves, all the flotsam and jetsam out of the bottom of my various knitting bags. Things have a way of accumulating in corners and my mind starts feeling the clutter too. A little cathartic cleansing is in order.

The biggest news from here is that D#1 is coming home for the week. She got some time off from her summer job on campus and is rushing home to her mother’s sweet embrace. Or she will be rushing right past her mother’s sweet embrace and off to fun adventures with her friends …… I think we all know how this is going to play out! In any case, it will be good to see her running in and out of the house!

I hope you all have a great Memorial Day Weekend!

you people are fantastic …. I think.

has something like this ever happened to you …… let’s say you lose a bit of weight, or you style your hair differently, or you slap on some make up or something. And then you go out in public and people are complimenting you right and left. You look fantastic! Wow!! Fabulous!! and so on an so forth. And more and more people compliment you and it just doesn’t seem to stop.

At some critical point, do you ever start to feel your nose get out of joint? What the hell? you think. I must have looked like complete and total crap up until now. What was I before all of this fawning, before all of these compliments started coming my way?

I suppose it is all my own fault. One too many fry ups, one too many chicken-viking hats. I post a picture of a lace project and get 22 comments!! I guess I can’t blame you guys for not knowing I can knit – really knit – if all I churn out are the comic relief projects.

Thank you , thank you for all your kind comments on the Trellis Scarf ….. and why yes, I have lost weight. And I do have such a pretty face!

I suppose it is not the best time to show you another FO ……
