Sox is making a cable knit sweater?? NEW FAVORITE. Also on that front...
Jilli? I found out that they make cable knit blankets. Hee!! And speaking of Jilli....
Jilli's hair is teh awesome, as is Teh Jilli.
{{{Anne and family}}} Ugh. Ruptured appendix Not Good. Here's to no infection and quick recovery.
{{{Fred, Hubs, and Teddy}}} So hard and I am so sorry guys.
IMememeNews: I need to stop decorating and faux-shopping for a condo that I will not be owning anytime soon unless someone buys it for me.
hint hint hint
Just kidding.
meara, rather than flirting I think you should point blank ask this woman to go out with you (to quote Jilli, "choose coffee") at a specific time and specific place. Flirting can be interpreted many ways, but "I'd love to see you. How about this Saturday at 4 at coffee!place?" requires her to answer a straightforward question.
Hivemind: does anyone have any recommendations for menswear for summer in a sticky climate? My husband needs some kind of summer suit and I'm not sure what fiber or weave to look for -- he's pretty tough on his clothes (pointy elbows and knees or something).
I broke the internets.
We were checking the couch cushions. Can I buy you a condo with $0.32?
Fred, I'm sorry about Teddy.
Anne, I hope your stepdad recovers quickly. My cousin had his appendix rupture when he was in high school and he also had an issue with the infection. But they did get it cleared up--he just had a longer stay in the hospital than usual. Lots of vibes for you and your family.
Jilli, the hair is AWESOME! And you look completely adorable.
Sox, I've only toyed with the idea of knitting--buying training needles and attempting some basic stitches. I suck. But I'd still like to learn to knit enough to make this someday.
Cashmere - that is awesome! Hats are so much fun to knit - but THAT is going to be a blast. I say do!
I hated knitting until a brilliant person showed me continental stitch. now I can knit at community meetings. Which keeps me from yelling, mostly.
eta: no apostrophe needed.
I could use some luck~ma, communication~ma, and skill~ma. I'm about to call an agency that I think could provide some help to the family I've been helping. I really need them to be able to do this, so all the ~ma would be greatly appreciated.
Not Sox, but I really like the Sally Melville knitting books for beginners, [link]
, because I think she makes it easy to understand what the #@!$$ she's talking about.
I have no, zero, memories of being taught how to knit. My mother knits all the time - she never sits down that she doesn't pick up a project - so I just sort of absorbed things. I went back to the beginning books to put some context on what I knew and to give things a name.

It *is* Michigan. So probably.
Totally unrelated, this is one of the other quilts from my shop: [link]
