Is it too late to join in? I want to make myself a shrug, in black or
in white, not very sure about that yet. Maybe both, but I still have
to find the right yarn. In my stach I don't have exactly what I
want. Well, to tell the truth I don't know exactly how I want it, but
it should be something veeeeerrry soft.


Never too late, Ria! I am sure that Ranee will add you to the list.

How about alpaca.....it comes in whites, blacks browns and all the shades
inbetween, and it is oh so soft.

Alpaca will definitely be in my projects for NEXT year. DD2 is going
to Ecuador, and she promised me to send home a load of Alpaca. :-)))

I would like to have my Sewing Project counted as a New year cast-On. I
think that is the only way it is going to get done!

Sure thing! If you want me to add it to the list, just let me know
which project you decide on.

Ranee

I can't stand doing only 1 thing at a time!

I do the ironing while watching a good movie; The cross-stitch while
relaxing on the sofa (gives my hands something to do); The Sewing or
knitting while listening to the radio or music (helps keep a rhythm
going); Learning Spanish while exercising in the gym (keeps my mind
of the pain of getting fit!); and Computing when my brain needs
stimulating.

One of the curses of being a Woman, I suppose. We have got to
multi-task to stay sane!!

This is how I am, too. When people make comments about how much
patience I must have to knit, I tell them that it is because I am
impatient that I do it, I have to be doing something. I also have three
(soon to be four) children, and always have a million things to do, my
knitting is something that once it's finished, it's finished, I don't
have to redo it the next day.

Ranee

I think the part about having to redo stuff - sometimes it's not even a
whole 24 hours - is the hardest part of being a Mother and wife. . . I
mean - I would cook a huge batch of vegetable soup and not need to cook
for the rest of the week, I only had to clean the apartment once or
twice a week - it stayed picked up because I'd put my stuff away when I
was done with it and I rinse the bathroom sink out when I was done with
it ahhhhh the days of being single - I could knit/crochet and/or
needlepoint *all* day on saturday if I wanted and not get interrupted a
single time :O life is much more exciting now.

Exciting? Well, that is one word for it, I guess!
Katherine (WHo cannot use her coffee table because Kandace has decided that
she wants to do ALL of her jigsaw puzzles and leave them assembled!)

Ranee,
Thanks for being the keeper of this list. With being away from
12/27-1/4, and trying to get caught up with life this past week, I have not
had a chance to figure out what I want my project to be yet. Hopefully,
I'll be able to get to my LYS this coming week. I'll report back when I
figure it out.

Katherine,

Get Kandance a piece of green felt to put her puzzles on, then you can roll it
up and remove it from the table. You can buy them from craft catalogs, and like
a fool I did, only to find out they were green felt. Much cheaper at a fabric
store and it does work.

Hugs,

Nora

I bought one of those, too, NOra. How silly were we? I thought I was getting
something wonderful! LOL
THe problem is that Kandace wants the puzzles left on the table for people
to admire. I am sure that this is just a phase and she will move on to
something else soon.
Hugs,
Katherine
