Once upon a time I was young in Seattle. That makes it especially interesting to return here to be near one of our sons. Some of my friends from 1960 are still here - it is extra special to meet up with them. Also friends from various countries where we have lived have settled here.<br />JanetJanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193395027474680289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-10394301779801090932010-02-28T17:20:48.435+00:002010-02-28T17:20:48.435+00:00Glasgow definitely beats NJ.

Actually, almost anywhere beats New Jersey (says me, still living in NJ.....but having previously lived in NY, Michigan, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Illinois, and Iowa as well as a year in London, I feel at least semi-qualified to comment!) There's nothing really wrong with NJ, and there are lots of wonderful people here, but we've been here now for 22 years, and it has never felt like home. It has just been the place where we lived while we figured out where to go next. In the next few months, we will move to New Hampshire to be near a daughter and darling grandchildren, and I can't wait! There seem to be a lot of lovely fiber activities there which I'm looking forward to, as well.<br /><br />Barbara M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-73131016299330598742010-02-28T13:41:09.232+00:002010-02-28T13:41:09.232+00:00Thanks for that joke.

It was called "Cat Sank" and had a cartoon of a drowning cat on the cover, so your joke dredged that up out of the memory banks and made me laugh.Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-51714239395509915122010-02-28T13:06:28.844+00:002010-02-28T13:06:28.844+00:00The girl is going tolove that joke!

I hadn't paid any attention in my last go through, I guess because I only have a few skeins and no plans to purchase more. But I thought of you and wondered if you'd seen it. There three different patterns: miters, garter stripes and colorwork stripes.<br /><br />The grandson sweater is lovely.rosesmamanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-11908701981665534982010-02-28T09:54:08.629+00:002010-02-28T09:54:08.629+00:00Took me a while to get that joke, Jean.

As a sewer, I'd have thought, turn the sweater inside out, then place the sleeve, right side out, inside and pin at crucial points. What usually defeats me is that a sewn seam is more rigid than the surrounding knitting so can look awkward.shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.com
