Late as usual here - but still, hope you all up north had a *great* Canada Day! BRBR I'll add in a great cheer as well for the Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010!!! JCT

The second square from Pirjo arrived today -- another lovely blue knit with an interesting pattern. They go very well with the others I have received. Thanks, Pirjo! Judy JCT

Letitia -- I did crochet the poncho. It was a good project for me as I am still learning to crochet and it wasn't too complicated. While I was at it I did a little one for Danae's favorite doll (American Girl's Bitty Baby who she has named Mama for some reason) I just did the doll version by...

Hi -- Just had a nice cup of tea. Some friends of DH in India gave him a bag of special tea when he saw them at a meeting recently - so I brewed some this morning instead of making coffee. DH is off at choir practice and I need to get ready to leave soon but thought I would log on to see what was...

I got suspicious when there were no new messages and checked on Google -- where there were messages I hadn't seen -- like Ranee's photo album (Which I really enjoyed). So ----- I think there are gremlins. If you are looking for me don't assume I am reading you here -- go to my e-mail. To reach...

I received two nice crocheted squares from Susana. She also included an address book and gel pens - handy to keep here at my desk. Thanks, Susana. My squares are on their way to her. JCT

Tomorrow we are headed out for a brief trip. We will go to St Louis, then to New York City and finally to New Jersey to have Thanksgiving with my daughter and her family (my 3 grand daughters included). I will try to catch up when I get back. JCT

Thanks for putting the little darling's picture on the website. You will have great fun making little things for that one. JCT

Hi -- if I seem disjointed here it is partially because I am not getting all the posts. I do switch over to Google from time to time and tend to find more that don't show up here. JCT

I received a beautiful knit square from Pirjo today. The color is great. The envelope is marked Part 1 - so it seems that Part 2 will be following along any day. It is fun to get packages from so far away! Judy JCT

HI all -- have fun with the June exchange. I opted out this month as I am off to Denmark this afternoon. DH has a meeting there and I get to go along. (I have already located a LYS on the internet) We will make a very brief trip to Kalmar Sweden as well - he wants to see the glass making...

Bye all - I am going on a trip and won't be back until Oct 9. DH has to do some lecturing and I am tagging along. I don't always go but this time he will be teaching in Italy (Ferrara) and in India (Coimbatore) -- too good to miss. We will also take a short side trip to Venice just for fun. JCT

HI -- You have all been busy. I frankly couldn't imagine working through all those messages so after checking on Mirjam (I heard about the bombing in Haifa while I was gone), I marked the rest read and will start anew. I got back this noon but there is a 12 hour time change from India to Seattle...

I was diverted this month by some things for a charity auction (three hats and a baby sweater) but finally got back to finishing the Dale baby ull sweater for my youngest granddaughter. I needed to get it done as she is growing so fast. It is the one on a recent cover that has a zebra on...

I have tried e-mailing you as a reply to your e-mail. If you haven't received any from me yet, check to make sure you are don't have a filter on that keeps you from receiving them. I received your e-mail -- wondered if 50% cotton/50% acrylic would be ok as I have some in colors that I think you...

I actually did cast on my Cast On project on New Years and completed the twisted cable ribbing on the back. Now I must set this project aside for a little while to finish the baby sweater I am making for someone before her baby arrives - but I will be back to it as it is fun to do. JCT

I just mailed my February squares to Janise JCT

I finally completed knitting the Celtic Cardigan I have been making as my New Year's Cast On -- all that is left is getting the buttons and sewing them on. I have a whole list of projects that I am eager to start now that this one is off my knitting couch. (DH is careful not to sit on my section...

Almost Sunday here, but not quite! JCT

If I seem a bit disjointed - look at the dates of the posts - I see some of mine from two weeks ago are now showing up. I think AOL is catching up with some of the long lost posts from before. JCT
