This kind has been oral instead of IV so it has been really convenient. I have been very lucky. We don't expect any family here so we may just go to MacDonald's for Thanksgiving!

Have a fun holiday. Marty in AZ

So sorry I missed your message. I nearly killed myself helping to
organize our neighborhood assoc. potluck. Then all that time at
the affair and the after affair critique. I've been crawling around
ever since and in a lot of pain. I knew what I was getting into and
decided it was worth the price. I had a great time (I spend much
too much time alone) and we are working on a neighborhood
knitting group. I am depressed at the state of my home with the
holidays approaching. There is no way on earth I can get it back
to normal but I can make it a bit better.

The little cottontail bunnies live across the alley from me in a
cactus patch. This is one of the older ones. There are several
generations out there. What's really neat is that they don't seem
to be doing harm to any ornamental plants but are eating grass
and weeds. I just love them. I talk to them and they listen. Honey
really wants to to get to one of them but they're too fast even for
her. She's quite the little hunter. Did you know that poodles were
originally Russian hunting dogs?

I'm working on the Mystery Colrowork KAL - slowly, and the
Classic Cardi Kal. I'm afraid i'm going to have to frog the cardi
back to joining of the sleeves for the SECOND time. This is
getting BORING!! I keep screwing up the decreases. Whooppee!

There are 3 subchapters. One up Conroe way. One out by Katy and a daytime group as well as the main group. It's over 200 members.

At 8:51am on November 19, 2009, cherylbwaters said…: Irene, you were one of the first to welcome me to this wonderful knitting community. I can never thank you enough.

At 8:21pm on November 18, 2009, cherylbwaters said…: Hey, Irene, hope this finds you well. If you listen to today's Podcast, you can hear me, Peggy Stuart and Susan the Blue Lake Knitter, in that order.

At 8:01am on November 16, 2009, KnitWhich? said…: I don't carry much in the way of Patons, Bernat or Lion Brand, since they are readily available at the chain stores like Michaels, Hobby Lobby and AC Moore. I do order them if my customers want them and don't want to make the trip to the big stores. I carry Universal, Plymouth, Classic Elite, Berocco, Brown Sheep, and others. I just ordered a bit of Louisa Harding as well. I'm also trying to get some Noro in, as a lot of customers have asked for it. I think the rep is coming this week, and if the initial order isn't too steep, I may get some. But then I have the problem of where to put it??!

I hope you're doing well.

I know the ones with special needs, and know they need all the help they can get! Hugs from me to you. Susan

Unfortunately, the kids live in NY, and I'm in SC. I only get to see them once or twice a year. I wish they lived here so I could see them all the time.

I'm doing pretty well. I'm back in the shop full time, and the PT said I could start using a cane around the house. Pretty soon I'll be able to drive myself.

Best wishes for a good week.

At 6:01am on November 6, 2009, Capergal said…: My order from Knitpicks won't be here for another week or so. Believe me my husband will ask our daughter if I put it all away, so I can't even think about getting tempted.....well, I do want my ball winder out of the box, but that is it......lol...I will peek at the yarns, but I won't use any of it....honest I won't....
