A bit more of a mental challenge, thinking it through, but less work in the end. <br /><br />I told my daughter about Perdita yesterday while we were playing with the kittens in the adoption area of the pet store yesterday. One of those littles climbed up my skirt, and shirt, and settled himself on my shoulders for minute nap. Reminded me of your new baby.rosesmamanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-89768557504371318602015-08-04T13:25:57.607+01:002015-08-04T13:25:57.607+01:00Perdita is a busy little girl!

It's like watching the local newspaper shrink to three pages of not much of nothing interesting. ( SO SAD)! Yes knitting does seem to be the first warning of demise.<br /> Glad to see you are back to Tokyo, even if only temporarily, until it nudges itself ahead in line.<br />Enjoy the dayPgnitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14805634782031114328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-69567902106060921862015-08-04T12:53:38.161+01:002015-08-04T12:53:38.161+01:00I find the spit splice to be very easy, very quick...I find the spit splice to be very easy, very quick and you can do it anywhere on your row without it showing. Previously I would use the other method of knitting 3 stitches with two strands of yarn but this has to be done somewhere discrete or else it shows (depending on the yarn/pattern of course). I find that spit splicing has to be done by pulling the yarn rather than cutting it and making sure that roughly half of the fibers are removed before each end before joining. Having said this it is extremely quick and especially useful for joining in colours at a selvedge which can be done invisibly, eg a lace shawl or scarf. I would love to have a kitten also but other family members disagree...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-36580034175032244082015-08-04T12:33:04.468+01:002015-08-04T12:33:04.468+01:00I will email you the way to get US apps from Apple...I will email you the way to get US apps from Apple.
