Or it did and the dealer was giving you a farewell look at it? Somehow, your photo of the painting was more... poignant? impressive? than the auction house's one.

On the days you haven't been able to write, I'm always worried that your health may have become worse, so am happy to hear of such a great improvement. Your recommendation of Alys Always has moved me to seek it out and enjoy it too. I'm from Jannali, NSW, Australia and have long been a slave to Fair Isle knitting and E Z's dictum that "you are in charge of the knitting, not the other way round" Heather Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913154449959472620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-24285547122288010082014-03-29T19:42:30.205+00:002014-03-29T19:42:30.205+00:00What a pleasant surprise to get flowers!

They are powerful and could easily take this long to finish having an effect on you, Jean. And when doctors say they will wear off in whatever length of time, they don't necessarily know that as fact.<br />Keep on keeping on, just as long as you are pointing the right way. We require it of you!jeanfromcornwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10062674591619616456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-27215980637056371372014-03-29T14:15:25.353+00:002014-03-29T14:15:25.353+00:00Thanks for the reminder about Principles of Knitti...Thanks for the reminder about Principles of Knitting. I always forget it, too. <br /><br />Maybe the side effects of the osteoporosis medicine are finally wearing off? In any event, glad someone closer could bring you flowers.

When I saw "Drummond Place" and "Valvona and Crolla" I did a double-take--heretofore I had only known those names from Alexander McCall Smith's novels! I suppose I'd always assumed he'd made them up, and I'd never bothered to check.

And I'm relieved to hear from an outside source that Jean is looking well.<br />Jean, If your health status is now "odd" then I'll take it as an upgrade. Good!<br /><br />On completely a different topic, your shawl knitting reminds me of when you were making the Princess, and I learned that perseverance is not the least useful attribute for a knitter.

In lace, that may not work as well. There is a yarnover way of doing short rows that might just work as a way to do this in lace. Perhaps I'll have a chance to test that out. It would be a neat trick if it worked. And if the rest of us lived in Edinburgh, we'd be leaving you flowers on the doorstep, too!

I think I was rather starstruck . I met Stephen West at Shilasdair last year ( shameless name dropping ) and I think I just babbled then. So happy to meet you and see you looking so well.<br />Wanda.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
