If you want you could lace a ribbon through them and draw in the sides at the waist to show off your post-Lenten svelte self!SarahSeattlehttp://www.sarahknits.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-62891909830472635042013-02-20T20:51:13.607+00:002013-02-20T20:51:13.607+00:00I did finally get a file uploaded to Drop Box on t...I did finally get a file uploaded to Drop Box on the new computer (Windows 8) - the only problem is that I am not actually sure how I did it! At least I now know it can be done. You have my heartfelt sympathy though - Windows 8 is however very irritating after the smooth running of XP. catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-77182322459927597952013-02-20T19:59:59.832+00:002013-02-20T19:59:59.832+00:00It's good to meet another Weston's fan!It's good to meet another Weston's fan!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12038517988391228260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-69714538220635785942013-02-20T18:38:17.634+00:002013-02-20T18:38:17.634+00:00I, too, love all things Westons.

I grew up in a time when the kitchen door could be closed and the mess left in there, and polite guests remained in the living room. Now, everyone feels they must live up to "kitchen as theater", as seen on TV. No, thank you.

Here in the UK it is called Scottish Heritage Knits, and by the way, the author is Martin Storey. Amazon is saying that it hasn't been released yet, however McADirect.com have it in stock.<br /><br />Your pictures of madelinetosh are tempting me to try this yarn for myself - and I think that jumper is going to be both easy to wear and flattering.

It is endlessly frustrating and annoying. There are ways to bend it to one's will, though, and they continue to fix the bugs. Continue to search for a savvy young person who can serve as sounding board (we have a college-aged daughter).MaureenTakomanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-50144010288930147312013-02-20T12:59:50.238+00:002013-02-20T12:59:50.238+00:00I love the colors in your sweater.

Don't ask me what the RT stands for but it is for tablets and it's not the same as Windows 8. I still think that going from XP to 8 would be very difficult. Windows 7 users seem to be making the transition a little easier.<br />Theresa Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03561062155625437881noreply@blogger.com
