And I almost took my mother to the ER today. We didn't go, but I told her it was because I had a 3-hour project in my bag, not a 12-hour project. He's fine, she's fine, I want to see our daughter in London, who is also fine!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-30704480294865573062012-02-11T00:54:35.708+00:002012-02-11T00:54:35.708+00:00Once upon a time, back when my husband played soft...Once upon a time, back when my husband played softball, he was having a most excellent softball game whilst I was in the stands, cheering and chatting. (Hadn't learned yet to bring the simple sock knitting along.)<br /><br />Then, tragedy. An fly ball, caught, ended the inning, but also my husband's participation in the game as the ball had struck his glove at an odd angle, injuring his thumb. The thumb promptly swelled. So off we head to the ER. We had to drive within 2 blocks of our house to get there. Wouldn't he like a book to read? Wonderful, I'll just nip in to the house and get it. Was back out in record time with HIS book and MY knitting. Most peaceful ER visit we've had.Sarah JSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-71255621576903682782012-02-10T23:24:04.182+00:002012-02-10T23:24:04.182+00:00Brainless is a wonderful pattern - I really like Y...Brainless is a wonderful pattern - I really like Yarnissima's work.

November 22 is unforgettable as well.

After a few inches I decrease 2 sts at what I hope will be the back of the leg every inch or so, a maximum of an inch's worth of stitches. This seems to help the sock stay up and fits better, at least on me and my knit worthy sock recipients.Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-86254814831542161852012-02-10T11:06:01.643+00:002012-02-10T11:06:01.643+00:00On our recent cruise, we visited Pearl Harbor and ...On our recent cruise, we visited Pearl Harbor and the Arizona Memorial. I think Dec. 7, the "day that will live in infamy," still deserves its designation as one of those dates. Nov. 22 is another one for most people in my generation. And of course, Nov. 11. You're right, Jean, thinking about this has definitely waked up my brain this morning!<br /><br />Barbara M. in NHBarbara M.noreply@blogger.com
