Maybe that's what you need? With the weather you have you need some kind of indulgence!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898669842884563014.post-52240968533306789932007-02-15T22:39:00.000-06:002007-02-15T22:39:00.000-06:00I think we are in week #2 of sub-zero temps.

It has to end soon, right?<BR/><BR/>As for the sleeves,I usually knit them flat. I hate seaming, but I find it so much faster than working with DPNs. I also think that joining the sleeves to the body is a ton easier when the sleeves are flat. The first time I used Ann Budd's raglan pattern, I knit the sleeves in the round and had a bugger of a time transitioning between the body and sleeve stitches. Just think how nice and cozy your sweater will be when it's done--it will make the work easier ;DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898669842884563014.post-76042120277946537682007-02-14T15:40:00.000-06:002007-02-14T15:40:00.000-06:00I spent 6 months in a high humidity climate and my...I spent 6 months in a high humidity climate and my hair grew about 6" and was in ringlets the whole time I was there... I hated the humidity, but apparently my hair loved it...<BR/><BR/>We get mid 90s in the summer and can dip as low as -15 in the winter. But the -15 usually only lasts for a week or so, and we don't have the humidity in the summer. It's kind of nice to think of living in such a mild climate (compared to yours! ;-D)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898669842884563014.post-35735715754293926582007-02-13T07:55:00.000-06:002007-02-13T07:55:00.000-06:00So how does moving south sound right about now?

I was daydreaming the other day about fleeing these northern winters and thought that maybe I shouldn't since I wouldn't have as many opportunities to wear my woolen knits. But then I came to my senses and realized that in a better climate, I could get by with wearing only one woolen item at a time as opposed to the 4 layers of clothing I had to put on to go to work. If only sleeve island was tropical!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237377562956973933noreply@blogger.com
