Sock Wars

I made my first sock in 3rd grade , was bored to knit 2 green ones
thus added some red stripes to the 2nd ,,,,,, teacher called my mother
and she was asked to restrain this creative misbehaviour ,,,,,,,,
Years later the granddaughter of this teacher came to study creative
weaving with me !!!!
years and socks later i made little `sock pins` ,,, my daughter shared
one of her student flats with a student that had a Regular caricature
in a Jerusalem Local weekly , one weekend she wrote and drew ,,, My
father bottles vegies , Drora`s mum knitts socks....

Mystified One,

I did the opposite to learn. I found a "training sock" pattern. It
was small, so I could learn the components and methods of sock making
quickly.

Oh, My, Mirjam! There is a song here like that, about a teacher who insisted
that the children colour flowers red and leaves green. Takk about stifling
children! I am glad that she didn't succeed with you!

Are you out of the shelter yet?

Higs,
Katherine

Sanctimonious (I considered using several other adjectives
here) comments such as this are - individually - a
relatively minor annoyance. But your constant harping is
one of the reasons that I stopped reading rctn (only one of
a few I must admit).

Congratulations. You have made a fun activity sound like
something evil and corrupting. Are you pleased with your
achievement? I thought about responding in a different
manner to this latest piece of gratuitous "nobility", but I
really don't think it is worth the small effort required.

Don't bother responding - I won't be here to be annoyed by
your answer. Write it off as me having a "bad hair day" if
you will, but life is too short to put up with annoying
trivia that can so easily be eliminated by simply pushing a
button (or in this case by refraining from pushing one). Go
annoy someone else.



My thanks to those from this ng who responded with kindness
or helpful advice to my infrequent ventures out of lurkdom,
and farewell.

And you do realize that Mirjam spent the better part of six weeks
living in a bomb shelter in northern Israel?

In her shoes I'd be a bit touchy about that turn of phrase too.

There's no pot-kettle action here, just holier-than-thou on your part,
for whatever reasons.

Goodbye again, Jane.

It's not your "bunghole(s)" that interests me (believe it!) it's your need
to express yourself that way in a public knitting group that says so much.
Here's hoping you learn to find attention in a positive way somewhere along
the line.

It's a free Usenet; I'm just as entitled to good taste as you are to ...
your taste.

LOVE IT!!!!!!

THANK you Dear Wooly from the depth of my heart , i didn`t stop anyone
from reading or enjoying i just felt that among mature and friendly
people i could sort of tell you what i felt reading this term.

We are in cease fire , we cleaned our shelter and decided not to use
it as added storage anymore, I washed the Straw mat [ a recycled ex
room divider], i shakked the two thick winter blankets that i used as
matrass. Looking through the house we found that somethings` screws go
loosened ,, Dust is everywhere , but all in all we were VERY LUCKY,,,
It is a very strange feeling to have lived such a long time in a kind
of lotery , not knowing where the next ine will fall.
The NORTH of Israel which isn`t very big got more than 4000 rockets.
Many of my friends were far harder than me.
Since we know we are going to have another round, i here by invite
this woman , to cme and stay with me in the next time. I don`t think i
complained much during this time , but i sure do not like the term
War, for me is something painful, were people loose life.
I couldn`t push a button and make this go away it was in the Subject
line.
I really wish you that you will never ever in your life know what war
really means.
Yesterday somebody slammed a car`s door , my cat , whom you can`t
accuse of being ,,,,,,, stiffened , his little heart bounced so hard
that i could see it pulse on his body.... it took me several moments
to help him relax .
