I'm so glad you got to use all that (long and otherwise under-utilized) time well! <br /><br />And I have to laugh about the sweater and curve-skimming, not because I think you won't make it, but because I'm still looking for the right one! Hope you find it!EGunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941668303286640744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-46737348912630393992009-12-08T18:19:33.927-08:002009-12-08T18:19:33.927-08:00Welcome back to reality where it's cold, where...Welcome back to reality where it's cold, where perfect knitting will take place the first time, and where you'll be amazed with how much you can get done in 24 hours!<br /><br />My kids were rather unimpressed with the Liberty Bell.

Knitting something with the front and back completely different really makes people's minds boggle.<br /><br />We are getting a dusting of snow today, but they're threatening us with freezing rain followed by 6+ inches of lake effect snow in the next couple of days.<br /><br />Luckily I have plenty of yarn to be snowed in with!Alwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03200150883889857882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-82249727581961929642009-12-08T06:51:17.907-08:002009-12-08T06:51:17.907-08:00I LOVE that pattern...and the blue sounds lovely.

That you managed snarkiness (I wouldn't have). <br />I'm happy there's a crack in that Bell, you know? Good that Rick noticed it.<br />(((hugs)))Nana Sadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13337300042637714815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-73091750191388949502009-12-08T04:41:07.275-08:002009-12-08T04:41:07.275-08:00wow.

...It's cracked!? Really!? Sounds like a scam.<br /><br />If you're really fast, you'll get to the catching up after you get some knitting done.<br /><br />(I love that sweater. I might break down and knit a sweater flat. I just happen to have some yarn over there somewhere...)<br /><br />Welcome home to the rain! Someone pulled into the office parking lot (east Oakland) this morning, their car covered in maybe 2 inches of snow. I shoulda taken a photo (to go with my photo of a pocket of hail on my car). (I think it snowed in Orinda last night!)<br /><br />Let me try that again, without veering off into all about myself again. Welcome home! Happy knitting! Happy family! Happy your own food!Gwenhttp://laflaka.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-69036470714640279692009-12-07T13:28:05.946-08:002009-12-07T13:28:05.946-08:00Glad you enjoyed your time here, there IS good VER...Glad you enjoyed your time here, there IS good VERY expensive food, it's the food in the middle price ranges that tends to disappoint, sorry you had to experience that!<br /><br />I am starting Sprossling tonight, I had to go down to 4s too, but now my gauge is a little big (23st/4in), which is actually okay as it will give me a size b/t S & M if I knit the small. <br /><br />I am excited! And in my light blue/periwinkle color we will come close to matching, too funny.<br /><br />It was great to see you!

And Reading Terminal Market (likely the big market with lots-and-lots of food you mention) is just awesome! Yum. Makes me want to go there just reading about it!<br /><br />(And my vote is- neglect the housework and knit. The housework will still be there later.)RobinHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325359641194305097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-42045696364224145582009-12-07T13:00:32.437-08:002009-12-07T13:00:32.437-08:00It sounds like you had a good time in Philli, yay ...It sounds like you had a good time in Philli, yay :)<br /><br />I fell for the double knitting a few months ago, bought pattern, found yarn, knitted happily and after a few inches realized that with the way I knit, one side comes much larger than the other - really bad for double knitting - gave up. Learning another knitting method didn't fit me at the time, maybe one day,,,,<br /><br />And I am crossing fingers for you and hope the sweater will fit beautifully :)Rachelhttp://www.knittingintranslation.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-6630899703686259142009-12-07T10:13:58.772-08:002009-12-07T10:13:58.772-08:00Glad it went ok, can imagine how lovely it is be b...Glad it went ok, can imagine how lovely it is be back home with the family.
