Chose the 'Dutch Knitting' pattern for next bit of sweater. Have done 12 rows & it looks really good. The colors are coming together so it looks like the entire piece was planned out! Very cool! will continue with this for at least half the neck area. Not sure if I want to have back exactly the same or if I'll play with it as well. In other news: Maureen is mad because I sat here & let my Mom comb her. Oh the horror of it all! :< Heehee :D TTFN!
Frogpond Express
Have once again frogged the sweater back to the end of the E sec. The K1b was forming nice stripes but working side to side when turned the "right" way: horizontal stripes in green & purple across the "ladies". Not what I need. Am on couch, under fan, with st treasurys trying to figure where to go next. Like the 'Diagonal bar' & 'dutch Knitting' out of Barbara Walker's 3rd book. Will have to see. TTFN!

About my Grandma
Speaking of grandmas, I mentioned mine doesn't knit. She never learnt to. She did learn to crochet as a young girl. As one of the middle children in a farm family of 12, crocheting was one of her chores. It amazes her that anyone would do it as a hobby. She's never touched a hook since leaving the farm & she doesn't miss it. Enter her only grand-daughter, a first-rate knitting addict. That I baffle her is an understatement. Grandmas should be treasured, knitter or not. TTFN

What really amazes me is the number of women who find this ok. These same individuals have probably taken a co-worker to task for saying "Hey guys" to a group of women. I'd rather be doing my "grandma's" knitting anyway. She'd have been using proper wool & not some stupid plastic funfur that you can't cable to save your life! Thanks but no thanks! Bring on the grandmas, They have much to teach us if we pay attention. TTFN

About my earlier Tweet...
Earlier today I tweet my dislike of the lead-in "Not your grand-mother's knitting". As my grandma doesn't knit, I find it annoying. I find it offensive to the grandmas who do knit. Are they saying in order to be 'cool' we should all knit, except the grandmas because that proves some post of stereotype?
