Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “the first 3 words of the first full sentence.” Okay, follow me here. This is what I want you to do: 1. Grab the closest book to you when you sit down to write your post. 2. Open it to a random page. 3. Locate the first complete sentence on that page. 4. Use the first three words of that sentence to start your post, then take it from there–write whatever comes to mind. That’s it! Have fun!

Memory is necessary… Duh!
Most of the easy to grab books from my recliner are knitting or crochet ones. Or writing. This book was part of the inspiration for last year’s NaNoWriMo. Pensées, French for Reflexions. The book is dry but there are pearls of wisdom along with some biased thoughts education and reason can overcome.
By the way, the full quote is: Memory is necessary for all the operations of reason. So much better than: To create an airy grid texture, crochet using the TSS into the back bump of the Return Row (see chapter Stitch Bars, picture E, No. 5).
Although, come to think of it: To create an… Leaves lots to a far different blog entry.
I am in the middle of so many projects right now that I thought I’d dedicate this one to a want to make. A Fingerknit hat!
I’d also like to make a shawl, poncho, or cape for my witch costume.
I have two pairs of knitted socks nearly finished. And a Tunisian Crocheted afghan is in the works. But I will need a couple more pieces for my costume at my daughter’s costume wedding reception. So I am putting my ideas here so I won’t lose them.
Okay, I guess I should share the pics of what’s been done so far. All this needs to be done by the first week in October.
Remember the Hiya-Hiya Flyer pair of socks? I decided to put them on a long Chiaogoo Red Lace 60″ US 1 needle. I need to finish the foot and then the toe.
These are going to someone with small feet. I’m finding I don’t like doing cuff up socks.
These are Toe-up Two At A Time Sneaker Socks. I’m working on the arch section now.
This is the center section of the Tunisian Crochet Afghan. Notice how this stitch curls. I have to weigh it down with the mouse and the remote. But I like how fabrickie it looks. When I’m done I’ll do an edging to de-curl.
Here is one of the outer panels of the Tunisian Crochet Afghan. It is almost as long as I want it. It’s so long I can’t capture it in a close-up anymore.
Because of the curl, I roll the project up against the curl and store like this.
I know I have a couple other projects but these are the ones I’m trying to concentrate on.
Early in the morning and late in the evening smoke envelopes our Valley. The visibility is about 2 miles. Two fires in Oregon are still blazing. Thankfully they aren’t near us. I feel sorry for those in the vicinity of the Bedrock fire, Eugene, I think, and the Flat fire in Brookings. I hope those citizens are feeling okay.
I wish for my friends there, to be enveloped in love, good health, and hugs.
This time I used the Turkish Cast-on. But since I think I understand the rest of the pattern now, I think I’ll give it one more try. The next stage is an arch ribbing to keep the sock snug.
I’m happy with the first pair but hope to improve. For the pattern and tutorial click back a couple days on this blog
