Please enjoy the the sandpipers!


Nothin!  I got nothin! I have been trying, but........NOTHIN!!!!!! So please take a moment to enjoy the birds, the warm sand and the ocean.

I have decided to take a stab at LACE (AKA: I HATE MYSELF, Lets FROG, FROG, did I say FROG!) knitting. This is beautiful to look at. The yarn is light and oh so pretty. BUTTTTTT!
Now, I have been knitting for 23 years. I have been teaching knitting for almost as long. 
But, now, my knitting and brain are not on the same planet. My mind cannot stay focused on the the yarn overs, ssk and counting! Somebody help!

I joined the KAL at Bloomin. Yeah that worked.......NOT!  Then I picked up a the magazine "Crafts and Things" for the first time in years, and, OH MY, the projects! One is a lace doily. Well I thought, something smaller, you can handle, butter brain. OH NO! I ripped that sucker at least 5 times.

So with all that said, here I sit.......Its going to snow! It only figures.  With nothing but frustration on my needles. I think I will do some garter stitch, yeah that will work. 
Is it me, or is lace knitting, Satan in the wool?

Peace out, and hopefully this knitter will get her act together and have a project to share next time.
