Or you could go with the even easier Swedish: diarré.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111736625664327019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-48423521465541419852015-08-09T23:25:13.877+01:002015-08-09T23:25:13.877+01:00New reader here - live in Thailand so would be thr...New reader here - live in Thailand so would be thrilled to be able to supply kapok!

Clarke, and Nancy Bush are my 3 favorite designers/authors/knitting experts). I know there's blogs and things discussing math and knitting, mostly because I have a friend fascinated by such things who never got beyond very basic algebra, so I end up using my mostly rusty physics math skills to translate as best I can. After she started finding stuff with the Hamilitonian in it, I found some free math courses online for her, as all I remember about that thing is that it exists, is a H, and nearly made me fail Analytical Mechanics. Stupid thing :(<br />And diarrhea has an o? Oh, right, British spelling. I tend to remember how to spell it as diary - y + rhea, but that doesn't work so well with the o. But the first part still works, so maybe that'll help?<br />Glad that your spouse is compos mentos (possibly misspelled) and feeling better, may the getting better continue!Melfinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14939155022202916671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-32108924033491193532015-08-08T14:56:16.529+01:002015-08-08T14:56:16.529+01:00That word you cannot spell is hard enough in Ameri...That word you cannot spell is hard enough in American English, without that superfluous "o"...Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15070416465321962525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-2053525718127575342015-08-08T14:20:49.231+01:002015-08-08T14:20:49.231+01:00Let's hope the next report is much better.Let's hope the next report is much better.Janet McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15880727343480118213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-32728845143400999252015-08-08T13:53:57.710+01:002015-08-08T13:53:57.710+01:00I was also going to mention Norah Gaughan's bo...I was also going to mention Norah Gaughan's book. We went to see an exhibit featuring the Leonardo DaVinci Codex this week. Lots of sketching and ideas on flowing water and how to alter it. (The bits that were translated, anyway.) It did have me thinking of knitting, of course. Happy to hear 'could be worse' as the diagnosis.Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-85338307480243940442015-08-08T12:58:21.391+01:002015-08-08T12:58:21.391+01:00Hi Jean I have made the dog you are knitting and f...Hi Jean I have made the dog you are knitting and found when stuffing I could do it firm enough not to require pipe cleaners.

'39 designs inspired by patterns in nature'. She talks about spirals and hexagons and vortex streets, the pattern of eddies that form as water flows around an obstacle. Another interesting set of books is by Philip Ball: Flow, Branches, Shapes. They are a reprinting in smaller volumes of a now OOP book of his called 'The Self-made Tapestry'. More technical than Gaughan, but still approachable by a layperson.skeindalousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-43139404008323442402015-08-08T10:24:17.976+01:002015-08-08T10:24:17.976+01:00Such a relief that things are under control in the...Such a relief that things are under control in the hospital. These bugs are such a tricky thing when diabetes is there in the equation.<br />As for pipe cleaners - I know just where to get them here - and there is parking just outside the shop! No help to you but - they are in a Wilkinson's a shop that has all sorts, and the pipe cleaners are included in the display that has all the "fun with glue" stuff - eg lolly sticks, glitter, polystyrene balls, blank greeting cards with envelopes. If you are passing a place like that, do try a look. Good luck.jeanfromcornwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10062674591619616456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-85724539695232701742015-08-08T09:38:52.743+01:002015-08-08T09:38:52.743+01:00relieved to see you here...would second Hat on Woo...relieved to see you here...would second Hat on Woolly Thoughts too!catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-38874643962964135502015-08-08T08:41:19.271+01:002015-08-08T08:41:19.271+01:00I hope your husband makes a good recovery from thi...I hope your husband makes a good recovery from this latest episode.
