Was watching Jamie Oliver on the idiot box and noticed his comments about potato crop yield. What's your average yield/lb of seed potatoes? Am deliberating on what to plant in pots for winter greens. Should be intersting to find out what is successful. Some chard would be good...Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12124722668160658606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-49789753225509887522008-04-14T14:58:00.000+01:002008-04-14T14:58:00.000+01:00Hi Jean -- thinking of you when I saw this when I ...Hi Jean -- thinking of you when I saw this when I was going through old Knitty.com items:<BR/>http://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter07/PATTlgs.html<BR/>(lighthouse gansey socks)MaryjoOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12861945604000052572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-75541613851201522762008-04-13T23:23:00.000+01:002008-04-13T23:23:00.000+01:00I know it's a bit like cursing, but have you consi...I know it's a bit like cursing, but have you considered wordpress or typepad?<BR/>Both will import your entire blogger blog (and leave it on blogger in case you change your mind or you just want to experiment with the new platform).<BR/>Wordpress is free and typepad (which I use) is very low cost and pretty spam-proof. <BR/>Having used both I think typepad is better, but then I would, wouldn't I?<BR/><BR/>natalieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-5144650860360207162008-04-12T02:30:00.000+01:002008-04-12T02:30:00.000+01:00I'm glad to hear that your husband's dental situat...I'm glad to hear that your husband's dental situation has improved so much. Abscesses are not fun.<BR/><BR/>If I have this right, you create several new stitches in the stretched-out thread next to the heel flap. Or is it that you knit two (or three) rows-worth of stretched out threads together to make one new stitch? Or do you do Fiona said and pick up and knit a short column of new stitches?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-10844916437389570492008-04-12T02:10:00.000+01:002008-04-12T02:10:00.000+01:00I'm de-lurking to say I hope your husband is feeli...I'm de-lurking to say I hope your husband is feeling quite well and has left his debilitating dental dilemma behind him.

I'm not sure why this is the case, but I usually deal with it by picking up the second thread down, twisting it, and then laddering it up using the top thread - just as if it were a dropped stitch. This seems to work fairly well - it fills in the would-be hole quite nicely.Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11223800058784736534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-51255736726578792422008-04-11T08:15:00.000+01:002008-04-11T08:15:00.000+01:00Slowly, though working them in worsted weight help...Slowly, though working them in worsted weight helps.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18047049720897209506noreply@blogger.com
