Good friends who love to laugh and knit! Nov 5

About Me:: I learned to knit as a kid but did not keep up with it. When my mother passed away more than 12 years ago, I didn't want our family tradition of her knitted Christmas stockings to go by the wayside. So I picked up knitting again and became addicted to it.

Your slideshow is lovley. I love the F@#$ hat!!! To cute... I am always knitting for my kids who have great senses of humor and when I see objects like your hat I can't help but think why didn't I think of that! :))

Knitting Guild must be a lot of fun. Irene

I have found that I can do it best with bright sun light or directly under a lamp after dark, but will check into the lamp you suggest. I have run into this before, but usually when working with finer weight. THe give one away KAL sounds like it was a good one to join.

you were so helpful earlier when I had a question and then I heard Kelly's podcast with you.
We love NM but there isn't much access to knitting support out here. My knitting mentor lives up in Ruidoso which is about an hour and 1/2 away. So don't get to visit with her often.
I am making the fair isle hat from knit picks and the yarn is really dark navy. I have trouble seeing the stitches and wondered if you had any good suggestions for me?
Love seeing your comments on knitpicks. I don't comment much and sometimes don't feel like I know where to go to ask for help so hope you don't mind me turning to you.

We think it's fun - but realize not many people share our opinion. Good for him to do that at our age - I would be so tired!! And lucky you to have a health care worker in the family. Oh, I listened to the podcast last night, so it's really funny that you mentioned it. I caught the mild southern accent, having grown up in Florida (my accent is gone now, though my husband swears I revert on the phone to my relatives).

At 3:00pm on November 18, 2009, Nancy Simet said…: You're right, that was very easy! I know that most of the stuff I've avoided doing with computers is probably quite simple, I just haven't gotten around to learning it. I keep blaming my daughter, who chose to leave high school a year early to go to college - I told her she cheated me out of that last year at home, when I'd intended to pick her brain about all this stuff! Really, I can learn it on my own, I just love to tease her. I'm looking forward to retirement - I'm burned out after 22 years of teaching college chemistry, mostly to students who hate chemistry and are annoyed that they have to take it (like nursing students). I should've been a teacher in the 1920s or so, when most everyone who went to college wanted to learn and worked at it, and didn't sit in class texting their friends when they are failing the class and should be listening and writing notes instead. Arrghh. Okay, enough venting for today. I always enjoy your posts, you're very helpful and explain things well.
