almost wordless wednesday

no eggs this time.... bacon and tomato  :)

three balls of yarn

one hook

one very pretty bag in the making!!!

four balls of questionable yarn

(it's the cheap nasty stuff we bought before we were yarn snobs!!!)

:) :P :P :P ;}

on an old lady's arm...

and you have

ARM KNITTING

if you haven't tried this 

you have to

HAVE TO

and if you have kids

YOU HAVE TO

lots of videos in lots of places 

so go find one and DO IT!!!!!

look 

no snow...

and I found this on Facebook and just had to show it

on a grey day with rain and gloom

I amused moi

♥♥♥

♥♥♥♥♥

had 

pinned this

a while ago and found it again a couple of days ago

so I had a go yesterday

and look what happened

 yarn in the stash that needs to be used

Caron Country which I loved

but it's been discontinued so I don't have a lot to use

 I played with the colours 

with this stitch

"Leaping Stripes and Blocks"

that comes from 

HERE

looks different because I used so many colours

and I changed the dc (US) to a half dc

there is a wonderful video to help you  do it

and it's a lot easier than it looks

so

gather all those bits again and have a go

I made it with thicker cotton too

and it worked in a "messier" way...

I liked this tighter denser version

the weather continues to be completely crazy

it's playing silly buggers all over the place

we were under tornado warnings and watches yesterday

and in fact a tornado touched down on the other side of the river in Maryland, 

it reached almost 70 F ( 14/15 C)

today will be the same

and then it's going back down....way down next week 

with more snow

grrrrrrr!!!!

damn you pinterest!!!!

with all your pretty pins

pinned by pinners

pin after pin

of pretty this and prettier that

page after page of

ohh's and ahh's

and Oh I could make that

or

so and so would like that

or 

god forbid you go below the photo and find that endless list of

"you may like these"

pins

you could end up in

timbuktooooo

and not know how you got there

or who you are anymore

and heaven help you if you come across a new page

or 

BLOG

or

magazine

or yarn company

you aren't even safe in your own

room anymore

behind your monitor

 screen

tablet 

 phone android or not

lap top

millions of us have now squeezed and pushed and shoved and forced

a bzillion pins onto one place

and 

damn if we don't try to see all of them

I think we have a problem 

houston

so

wind  'em if you have'em

get that ball winder out

get those dusty bags full of tangles and mess

and bits and pieces and oh's and ahh's started and never thought of again

knot it all together

and make some 

fresh tightly wound balls and have at it

pinterest ain't going anywhere.......

and

neither are we!!!!!

:)
