Skywatcher Post, Thankful Thursday, Knitting bits, and a fun video

Sky Watcher Post:

The Memphis Bell came to town last weekend

The Essential, Glorious Gift we call our Moon was up during the day sometime in the not too distant past.  This is the Real Skywatcher Post.  I am thankful to be able to see this celestial body, up there is the heavens as a visible reminder of to what we owe our existence.  We should never forget how this Treasure from the Creator rules the life cycle of every Being on earth.

I am so very thankful for Arnica Montana, and for being able to eat everyday, have clean water running out of a faucet (inside the house), for having a good roof over my head, and living with a loveable someone who is as handy with tools as I am.  

Here is my next wood project; I want to make  ONE OF THESE.  They are very cool for holding onto a tricky yarn ball and keeping it from rolling all over the half acre.   I have the wooden part, we just need to sprint on over to Bed Bath and Beyond and buy a fixture.  This is something I can actually make myself except if my hands start bucking and kicking while I try to hold onto a tool.  Lately they have been behaving badly when I try to knit, hold the metal bar parts on my favorite weight training machines, and even close the Jeep door.  Anica Montana helps out some.

Knitting report:  Yesterday, I was rolling along well with the mitt, and decided to take it with me when I went to see my sister.  While knitting the second row of the pattern, "Mon Dieu"!  A loop where none should exist brought everything to a screeching halt.  Today, later on, I will pick my way back to it, and solve this problem at a time when my mind is clear and there are no distractions. 

The Fun Video:  A very fast  Fifty Common Misconceptions Video, and a big thank you to Bee!  It is good to know that Red hair is not going to be disappearing anytime soon from the gene pool.
