yes...

..... we've discussed this before
but

I still can't get over people wanting to charge

to show how to do a stitch

be creative and design something different

with all the stitches there are

come up with something that isn't out there

and we'll gladly

pay you

but don't ask for

$5/?

for a granny square

or how to do a

double crochet stitch

geese

what a cheek

!!!

it makes me want to throw up a tut

just to get over it!!!!!

the "crocodile" stitch has made a

re-appearance

it's popping up everywhere again

it was spotted last year on

Flickr

and

a couple of us went to work

and after a few hours we'd cracked the code so to speak

then the lady who had posted the photo that started the kerfuffle

I think

gave us a site to go to

but Daniella and I had already done our own versions

but it's good to watch someone else and you learn to count in

Portuguese

While I was talking to my basket wearing friendthe other day
she requested a new hat

for winter

so I went a lookin' this morning

didn't like any

never do

and I don't want to make her the same thing again

even though it would be OK if I did

but I don't want to

I found a picture from one of those books

you know

 the ones we can't

 read them but we love the pictures

(eyebrows raised up and down)

and we work the charts

hm mmm???

well I saw the sweetest hat made with blocks

so
I
sat

stared

magnified until it pixelated

and

picked up some yarn

a hook

and

blocks your uncle

(groan if you want)

nothing difficult or terrifically terrific
but it works up really fast
and I think I may make a go with these
I'll make a tut if you need to make them too

looking at it it isn't very clear in this colour
sorry
I'll do another colour and put it up on flickr
if it's better

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

things around here are getting to be the way they'll be, I suppose
I haven't cried for about two days
I think we are rid of all the reminders
and that can consist of little dust bunnies in the corners
I will forever miss her
but I know she's gone now
and please know how much I have appreciated all your little kindnesses

yes, I've said this before
but I will never stop saying it
I have the best friends and readers
in all of blogdom and real life
thank you all

:)
