The following row can then be used either to increase or decrease if need be.stash haushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10244605573080920528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-47232824051980496872012-03-03T19:33:30.645+00:002012-03-03T19:33:30.645+00:00Pleased to hear Archie had a good week.

I'd come at that v-neck with tape measure, notebook and pen, you have the confidence to wing it!Anniehttp://knitsofacto.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-14934062079060838552012-03-03T19:27:24.659+00:002012-03-03T19:27:24.659+00:00I am always amazed when I return to your blog afte...I am always amazed when I return to your blog after not having read it for a few days at how much knitting you get through despite living such an active life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-8811045588270085802012-03-03T18:27:11.726+00:002012-03-03T18:27:11.726+00:00I do hope that Archie and his parents choose the E...I do hope that Archie and his parents choose the Edinburgh school. It will be wonderful for you and your husband, as well as for Archie, to have him so close to you.<br /><br />I was amazed (and horrified) that the school has their own boa constrictor. I wonder if that huge snake dines on misbehaving boys!<br /><br />Mary G. in TexasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-76460153539699156532012-03-03T17:18:11.252+00:002012-03-03T17:18:11.252+00:00I am so glad the week went well for Archie!

The only thing I fear more than dentists and flying are snakes. If it was my grandson at the school I would be terrified to go visit. :-)kristieinbchttp://journeynorthof49.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-69197764014788827322012-03-03T16:46:58.407+00:002012-03-03T16:46:58.407+00:00The school has its own boa constrictor - a positiv...The school has its own boa constrictor - a positive sign, if you ask me.<br />-- GretchenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-26342660095790194092012-03-03T16:17:27.975+00:002012-03-03T16:17:27.975+00:00I just LOVE that a major selling point was the boa...I just LOVE that a major selling point was the boa constrictor.

That has served me well and deals with the fact that stitches are not square. I have long ago abandoned any attempts to get the stitch count exact - just made sure they are near enough and divisible by whatever is needed for the rib or pattern you are going to do.jeanfromcornwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10062674591619616456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-17863923961831869942012-03-03T09:02:49.400+00:002012-03-03T09:02:49.400+00:00I do love your description of rugby for the unathl...I do love your description of rugby for the unathletic. My husband joined the choir at his public school, not for the singing but to avoid rugby which was the timetabled alternative.shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.com
