Beep Beep Zip Bang

Just a quicky today...just wanted to get these pics out here before I forgot them.
Mum and I rung in the New Year (and her birthday on 1/30) with three Maine lobsters. We ate them up before I remembered to take a picture so here is the box that they came in complete with kelp that managed to squirt all over my kitchen!

There has been spinning. I finally got the orange and yellow singles that have been sitting on Mabel for ten months of Sundays plied. It came out pretty good. I was afraid it was just going to be a murky orange (and it kinda looks like it in this picture) but up close it is pretty defined reds, yellows and oranges. I wish I would have spun it thicker (It's sock weight) the colors would have made a great Knitty Fish hat!
There has also been knitting. I whipped these up for the tenants next door. I ran into the man for the first time the other day and he asked me if the baby was bothering me. I didn't even know what he meant. Apparently there is a brand new four week old baby human in their apartment and I hadn't heard her once. They said that if that was the case then they would be staying at my apartment for a few days! Baby Ella's toes will be toasty in these.And the ever present gratuitous Bentley shot. Here is the new woobie that Grammie got him. Apparently he DID need it because he's never far from it. He lays on it or if we put it over him, he naps for hours under it. Poor puppy! So abused! He's got a rude awakening coming when Grammie leaves and he goes back to his no-food-no-water-thrice-daily beatings!

May I recommend laying in a few extra-nice treats for poor Bentley for when his Gram leaves? You know, to give him between beatings....also, may I please borrow your Mum? Maine lobsters and woobies sound like the prototype for Heaven, if you ask ME. :o)

Kelp don't squirt! (unless you squish their air bladders anyhow). Did you race the lobsters across the kitchen floor? Check out the so close you can almost see her brain photo of zuzu's nose that I just posted...

And of course, Ms B is not the type who would be squishing keop air bladders on purpose....
The lobster sounds heavenly, though the idea of fixing it at home does make me think of that scene from "Annie Hall"

Gosh, that dog is one lucky fella! And a nice lobster meal with your mom! Do you go to the book club at the Sow? I'm thinking about it...I could use a "group"! Take care!

Congrats on getting back to your spinning! I think that the colors will be great for a pair of socks......especially if they can be seen at the tops of your boots when walking Bentley in the snow.....just in case you get stuck in a snow drift, face down. JUST TEASING! Seriously, the yarn is beautiful!

Bentley looks appropriately proprietary about his cozy blanky; it's always hard to manage the younguns after the grandparents leave....

Just got a comment on my last blog entry reminding me that Monday is actually the last day of November, not today. So I have TWO more entries to complete NaBloPoMo; today and TOMORROW. How sad would that have been...to blow the whole thing because I can't read a calendar? I just figured, hey, December is coming next week, might's well start it out first thing on Monday! This here is a picture of my BubberKev and I at Thanksgiving. We're taking a momentary break from strangling each other to goof at the camera. Our mamma must be so proud! Back to online Christmas shopping! Have a great Sunday evening!

Lots of New Tangle Pattern Ideas!

I've been setting aside tangles that I've created in a special file in my cabinet. When I put one in last night, I realized that I had quite a stockpile and that I hadn't put only of them out there for others to try...so here they all are. I'm not good at stepouts or at naming. Most of them are named after placed in Maine...just because. I'd love to see any tangles that you've done that use any of these patterns! Have fun and tangle on!

Wicked Wonderful Weekend

 I had a really nice weekend. I didn't expect to since I had both my Covid booster and my flu shot  on Thursday afternoon. My first of the original two Covid shots put me under the weather for about 24 hours...but I just got a headache from this one and that's about it. And since I get headaches anyway, who knows if it was from the shots or not? At any rate, I was prepared for a stay-at-home-lay-about weekend.  Life is what happens when you are making other plans.  Since I decided Friday Night that I guess I wasn't going to be incapacitated after all, I arranged to go with friend, Donna to Baraboo to the Arts and Crafts Festival. It was really nice and way bigger than I thought it would be. Baraboo is where Ringling Brothers started so there were also circus-y things all over town. So much fun! After the Fair we went to lunch at a little breakfast place and then headed to one of my fav spots, Pewett's Nest, to see the gorge and waterfall. Then we stopped at Sky Hi Apple
