It definitely is interesting.<BR/><BR/>And I'm slowly working on the Earth wrap stripes ... it certainly goes slowly, but the feel is lovely.MaryjoOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12861945604000052572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-70502158247599705372008-02-14T22:11:00.000+00:002008-02-14T22:11:00.000+00:00Have you seen this website?

I'm still working out a hat pattern.<BR/><BR/>Purling in the round is much easier if you run the yarn over your left shoulder and "throw" it with the left thumb - then it's easier than knitting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-63991411806745089892008-02-14T20:22:00.000+00:002008-02-14T20:22:00.000+00:00Thanks for the link!

I can't translate experience as a first lady to the experience of being president. Having someone running based on service vs me-me desire to win has been a long time gone. Nice to have it back.<BR/><BR/>My only politically-related question when I read your blog is: what's behind your interest and knowledge of things USA? I feel like I jumped into the middle of the story.<BR/><BR/>I am contemplating a gansey for the "spousal unit"; loved the patterning of yours.Barca Violahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00716626154893889858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-19807695867554670572008-02-14T14:12:00.000+00:002008-02-14T14:12:00.000+00:00Jean,Hillary was in El Paso, where she has some su...Jean,<BR/>Hillary was in El Paso, where she has some support and is courting the Hispanic vote. Surprisingly. my Hispanic students, especially the young males, are supporting Obama. Perhaps there is hope in Texas, where for the first time in recent memory there is excitement about the national primaries. We're even getting to see the campaign commercials we usually only hear about.strimblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05924059592626983931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-18661201370710543242008-02-14T13:42:00.000+00:002008-02-14T13:42:00.000+00:00Jean, I don't mind the political talk.

I hate to say it, but I'm afraid that whoever receives the Democratic nomination will be tough to beat. I think it's about time we had a female president, I just don't think Clinton is the right choice. While Obama is charismatic, articulate, and chooses his people well (he hasn't fired anyone yet!), his inexperience can be a draw back; and I simply don't agree with his views. The whole process is quite riveting.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742361978092934723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-71168226446599602682008-02-14T13:36:00.000+00:002008-02-14T13:36:00.000+00:00There is a chart for Obama's logo at http://tinyur...There is a chart for Obama's logo at http://tinyurl.com/2my4ka Is that the one?
