My dirty little secret

So a while back - I quit knittting and crocheting.  I could not see well enough and it didn't help that I was knitting BLACK - try that sometime. Needed to do an outfit for my 2nd grandaughter... but could not read the charts - even with my contacts etc.

So - at 52 here is my little friend.. my reading glasses.. yes they are dirty - and they hide - and I have them everywhere.  Mike says you can't throw a cat at our house without hitting a pair.  I say I can never find them.

But then that is because they are sitting on the top of my head.

Green Zen

Note the beautiful pair of sock I am working on.. green double pointed metal needles, lovely apple green Peruvian wool and a perky multi color that when put together reminds me of the curtains in my room when I was in highschool in the mid 70s.

 

Note the reasons why I MUST KNIT ZEN:

1. Someone at the grocery store asked me if I was 55 and did I want the senior discount...not that far off - but STILL..

2. Check out my computer and coffee cup, phone and printer stand- a mess.

 

3. Don't miss the empty box of corn pops under the printer - stolen from my grandkids...

4. in case you didn't know -- the coffee in the cup is cold.

5. If you could read it - the phone would say 18 missed calls.

 

So this lovely project brings me peace - even though I had to rip it out and start over once... because it looked like Shrek could wear the socks.  Actually they are for one of my granddaughters... we will see which one after I felt them.
