Happiness is…

.. a good basketball game.*

Happiness is…

.. sweet companions by my side.

Happiness is…

… a new lace project that I am in love with.**

*The Duke Blue Devils has yet to play in the NCAA Tournament, so I’m not sure how happy I’ll be later. They might lose, but I have faith.

    So glad you have such lovely reasons to be happy. When the knitting is good, it seems like all is right with the world. And your kitties are sooooooo cute!

    You’re a shawl knitting fool here lately! FPS is looking great. I have tried that one yet. My dh is with you in rootin’ for Duke.

    Pretty shawl! What size needles are you using?

    Go Duke! But only through the third round. (I think.) ;)

    You are the queen of lace! Are you using Zephyr? I think we might be using the same color. Your shawl is so intricate, I can’t wait to see it blocked!

    I saw the game results. So sorry!!!

    The charts I am using are from the pattern. I just copied them from the pattern and cut them up. I can probably scan them and send as attachcments if you would like. Send me your good email and I will do that.

    Hidcote Garden turned out nicely, I see. So sorry I missed her debut, looks dramatic. I do like a big shawl. The new one is a great color. You have endless patience to knit complex patterns…I suppose the kitties are a big help in this area, holding your charts and reading the pattern out loud so you can knit while watching basketball. I know the poodles can be useful for that kind of thing, driving and fielding phone calls so I can knit in traffic…

    Holy moly you are cruising on that lace!
    I never made the connection that you have a black kitty and a white kitty. Are they opposites in personality as well? ;)

    Your FPS looks great Opal! You’re a speedy knitter!

    Love your kitties too!
