Some people find that small rituals help, some plant trees, whatever works.<br /><br />Good luck with the garden!

I think it is the best pattern I have seen in a long time. Carl is a shirt and tie man and V necks look so old fashioned and I want him to be smart. He is not sure about the pattern. I am going to knit it anyway, he will wear it to please me. Deciding on a colour is the next hurdle.<br />My mother passed over a year ago and I still have days when I think,"Oh, I must tell Mom about this or wait till Mom sees my new grandson." I am oh so familiar with the "weight" you mention. Getting out of the city will be good for all of you.<br />~Susan<br />Still waiting for my Princess pattern to arrive...sighSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10200940053036903121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-11069424501132414292011-04-01T13:23:27.888+01:002011-04-01T13:23:27.888+01:00Luckily for me, I don't mind ribbing. This is...Luckily for me, I don't mind ribbing. This is good because a k2,p1 ribbing for the entire length of the leg and continued down the top of the foot is the only hand-knit sock that truly fits my narrow ankles and high instep. Any other variety seems to slop down and puddle around the ankle, or bubble up over the top of the foot. So I do a lot of ribbing.<br /><br />But keeping track of increases/decreases for sleeves seems to defeat me everytime. The only way I can make sure my sleeves are the same is to knit them at the same time. Now the two sleeves may not follow the pattern the way it was written, but at least they are the same!<br /><br />I hope the garden will help lighten your heaviness of heart, Jean. Funny how we miss the annoying traits of others when they are gone. I read a book once where a character commented on another who had died this way: "Yes, he was a right old b*#! but he was OUR old b*@#$! and we miss him."<br /><br />Barbara M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
