I'll Get Right to the Point

Cedar Point, in Sandusky, that is...and this has been a good week! It started with a trip to "The Point" (aka roller coaste heaven) with my girl for Mother's Day,

That lovely, new coaster was not ready for business, but I was! Fountain drink at 10am? Coaster after that? Yes, please! 

Then there was a lovely gift from my son...lol! This blanket is great AND hilarious!

Even a gift from the Hubby (aka "Dad," when our daughter does the wrapping, and our grandson presents the gift)!

On top of a great start to the week on Sunday, I also finished the fish for my [fish]bowl at work on Monday morning,

and at Thursday knitting, I helped kitchener this glorious heap of golden cables!

"What's in the background?," you ask... Why, that's a nearly finished pair of socks with little dots that look a bit like sheep...

and by Friday night, they were finished

and on my feet! 

All of that, while plugging along toward my first Summer Vacation in a very long time, means that I have been super-busy and loving it! 

I wonder when I'll get to The Point again? I hope it's soon! Anyone wanna come with? 😁

Goin' Fishin' in my Brain

Fishin'? Well, this is what I am knitting now:

Why fish? There are two reasons: 

1. I need to fill my decorative bowl at work with something, now that Easter is over (originally, I thought I would knit a sky full of stars with attitude, but I fizzled after about five of these cuties...)

and 2. June is soon! (My ZK2025 shirt came this week, yay!)

Knitting tiny things is one of the Knitalong Challenges for the upcoming event, and I think I may make a couple dozen fish to enter...ha! Having the Zombie Knitpocolypse so close (June 19-21) means that I will be going slightly out of my mind with enthusiastic anticipation of a fun, yarny weekend with friends, and sometimes losing concentration for the regular things...lol!

You know what happens when I lose concentration? Well, my mind wanders a bit. 

What does it wander to? Many times it's yarn, for sure, but sometimes it just wanders. Sometimes, when I'm sitting in a room that wishes not to be disclosed, my brain goes fishin' (so to speak) and I see this:

Don't see it? What about now?

Still no? You don't see the little doggie?

Pardon my drawing. This is a skill I have not unlocked.

Wait. That's crazy, you say? Even crazier, what if I also see a larger dog?

The two dogs actually share a nose, if you can believe it...

I'll never NOT see them again, so now I have a favorite bathroom stall at work, and that's what my mind went fishin' for this week...bwaaahahahahahaha!

Yes, you're right. That's a little weird...but it's fairly "on-brand" for Pretty. My friends know this about me, and they still hang out with me to knit. Of course, some of my friends' cats are occasionally judgmental...

Why is he looking at me like that? I just finished a sock!
I'm supposed to be dancing!!!

but cats lick their own...ummmm...feet...sooooo, who are they to judge, really? Eventually, I think he stopped judging. He even offered his belly for a good rub... Wait. I think this is a trap...😜

I hope you are finding joy and judgement-free zones this weekend. For those of you who are moms, and those of you who have moms, I hope Sunday is a good day. And if you are struggling with trauma that will make Sunday difficult, I hope you find moments of peace and even joy, despite those difficult emotions. In any case, I'm glad to see you here, so leave me a little comment about something you're looking forward to!

[Knitting] With the Fishes

Yeah, yeah, yeah...knitting with the fishes isn't really a thing...unless this is what's coming off the needles!

Lately my knitting is colorful and pastel, and these little fish make me think that little bunnies for Easter may be in my future! I'm sure I could sub in ears for that tail, and wouldn't little rabbits be cute? 

So, we'll see what happens...but this day has gotten away from me, so I'm signing out here. 😉 I hope the rest of your Saturday is good!
