[Knitting A Conundrum]

Well, I had to admit to my niece that I wasn't going to have her socks done in time for Christmas.

But I did get all the shopping I'm going to do outside of eatables done!

And how about you>

Hello, KAC! :-)

Everybody is off doing one errand or antoher, and I have become a Human Weaving Machine. lol I'm on my third blanket this week. My goal is to make new and different mistakes with each one! :-D

LOL! The title of this thread, made me think of an old 'Averngers' TV series episode, in which there was
a sort of british "Murder Inc.", and all the victims
were killed by little old ladies, using knitting
needles.

@B-} "Turn 'round for just a moment dearie!"
Old Gran wants to check the fit of this sweater i'm
knitting..."

[Knitting A Conundrum]

LOL! Don't remember that episode....

Doing some cookies today, but primarily making dough to freeze back until right before Christmas.

There was a question on Card Sharks this morning where the staff asked 100 Marines if they knew how to knit. I think 23 out of 100 knew how to knit. An interesting tidbit, I thought. The episode was from 1989 so the numbers probably have changed some, over the past 16/17 years.

The navaho weavers, I have read, intentionally put a flaw into each of their works, because it's considered bad form to try to be perfect...something to comfort the heart when working...

My goal is to make new and different mistakes with each one! :-D

;-D LOL Hey, that's my goal, too...but didn't realize it until the projects were finished.

Matbe this will jog your memory, if
you ever saw the episode:

http://www.quitequitefantastic.com/Avengers/A417.html

...haven't thought about that episode in years....

[Knitting A Conundrum]

You're right! O my. I was a big Avengers' fan once upon a time, long ago and far away...

[Petronski]

I'm glad you posted that. I see my beloved is already on the list. ;O)

Hello, KAC!

I am always glad to hear from you. I have to admit that all of you talented, organized, efficient people make me realize just how far I have to go to catch up with y'all! LOL

Almost all of my shopping is done and most of the ordered stuff has arrived. Still waiting impatiently for several small items that could not be found in my limited market.

And, even though this is not needlework ... I scanned some very faded old photographs that belong to my 93 year old friend. I am trying to enhance them and then will make a small grouping of the ones that will mean most to her [her great-grandparents on both sides, grandparents, etc., among others] ... and make a collage type page that I can frame for her for Christmas. I am working on things as fast as I can and listening to the clock tick away the minutes ...

This autumn has been so busy with one thing or another ... or with the needs of others [including Hurricane Katrina houseguests] that I have not had a spare moment to pick up a piece of needlework.

Our children will be home for a few days just before Christmas ... and we will have one of our rare times when the whole family is reunited.

Hopefully, the new year will bring more peace of mind to all ... and more time for the tranquility of needlework ... we can certainly hope for that.

Cheers!

Ah! I see your tagline!

[Knitting A Conundrum]

It has been such a rough year all over the world. I pray that the Lord has brighter things in store for the world in the year to come.

Thanks for adding me to the ping list. Right now I am in awe of those of you who are actually either wrapping finished projects or finishing them up! I have a scarf project that I am working on, black and gray stripes. The thing is I am a slow knitter but a fast crocheter, and yup, the scarf is knitted.I am still in the planning stages for the Christmas stockings I want to do, planning as in, oh look at the Christmas fabric I have in my stash, wouldn't it make a nice stocking? Maybe if I post my procrastination here it will motivate me to get cracking. Then again, maybe I will seek solace in banana nut bread and Earl Grey tea.

I started a toddler's sock three weeks ago, and since then knitted a couple of easy scarves on big needles, started an afghan (but am no where near finished), and started a pair of mitts, which I haven't touched in three days. I have a scarf that needs me to finish it (and there's not much left to do) and a sweater that just needs me to finish its length (and is in great danger of becoming s shrug).

Sometimes, working fast doesn't really mean anything. I sell patterns for 3 socks that I never made the second of!

[voiceinthewind]

Oh my goodness. I am still in awe. When do you sleep??? Whatever you're eating, I want double servings! I have several UFO's but nothing but the scarf tagged for Christmas. I WAS going to do a tree skirt but it's still in the Christmas stockings stage. I think I could get the scarf finished in another evening or two.I want to knit a few mice for my cat's present and use the yarn that will be left over from the scarf.

We're decorating this weekend. I'm having an open house for 25 next Sunday. I have the stockings done for my new daughter in law and son in law. I'm not through shopping yet. I'm not out to get any rare and hard to find anything. I do have fantasies of making about six dozen cookies tomorrow. And I don't even eat cookies. LOL
