Longer sleeves can be ripped and made shorter after the judging. I suppose you could attach a note saying you deliberately made the sleeves short.=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-82929644185329641892009-07-06T17:10:42.090+01:002009-07-06T17:10:42.090+01:00With all the rain we've had so far this summer...With all the rain we've had so far this summer (wettest June on record for us, I believe), we have been seriously beset by slugs and snails. Fortunately, the garden has been holding up okay despite their ravages. I had meant to get my tomatoes staked before we left for Seattle yesterday, but I think they'll manage okay until I get back.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18047049720897209506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-7521456186215394672009-07-06T14:00:19.208+01:002009-07-06T14:00:19.208+01:00I usually knit children's sweater sleeves long...I usually knit children's sweater sleeves longer, so they can roll them up at first and wear them down later.I also make the bodies longer.I know you are anxious to finish, but shortening the sleeves makes for less wearing time.Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17429742099406818428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-66207739682515463772009-07-06T08:41:37.071+01:002009-07-06T08:41:37.071+01:00Hello Jean,

It is strange what we miss when we are strict with our diet. <br /><br />After being diagnosed diabetic in February, I decided to cut all added sugar until my levels came down a bit (they were high!) <br /><br />I used to eat a lot of chocolate but what I really missed was the fruit yoghurt I was in the habit of eating every lunchtime at work. It was worth it, due to the incidental weightloss of 7kg (15.5 pounds).<br /><br />My sugar levels are pretty good now so I can indulge occasionally. Like you with your cider.<br /><br />Have you ever seen Elspeth Thompson's blog?
