No - no... *Will you be watching the Summer Olympics?<br />No - not really my thing<br /><br />*Is School OUT yet in your neighborhood?<br />The universities/colleges are, but the grade high schools go right to the end of June. <br /><br />*Did you go to summer camp?<br />Only once, with Girl Guides. I got to play with a three-month-old baby tiger, it was the best!<br /><br />*Do you display your needles?<br />No.. they are pretty enough too, but Dave doesn't like clutter, so they are (mostly) tucked away<br /><br />*Have you been on Ravelry this week?<br />Yep - lots!<br /><br />*Do you walk outside at night?<br />All the time. We live in a very safe area. That doesn't mean I'm not cautious, but there generally not much need for concern around here. <br /><br />*Do you think in metric?<br />Being Canadian and under 40, I grew up with metric, but there are still something I do in imperial - mostly because I learned them from Mom... mainly baking (I always use cups adn tsp instead of litres and millitres) and sewing/knitting... there I work in inches.<br /><br />*Do you want a swap?<br />Im not much of a swapper, I always procrastinate going to the post office.<br /><br />*Are you afraid of mosquito borne illness?<br />Not really, we are pretty good about keeping the populations down here and wearing spray when we know they will be bad. <br /><br /><br />*Have you knit a Christmas or Holiday gift for 2016 yet?<br />Nope - and I'm kinda thinking of not doing any this year. We've already decided we are only gifting the kids this year, so I'll probably stick with toys and gift cards.Wanderingcatstudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459444703722115118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-64139836952585246952016-06-01T14:57:02.114-05:002016-06-01T14:57:02.114-05:001. yes Love synchronized swimming

Yes! A...*Will you be watching the Summer Olympics?<br />Yes! As much as I can…or until all the jabbering gets on my nerves.<br /><br />*Is School OUT yet in your neighborhood?<br />Nope – not yet. I think in a week or two.<br /><br />*Did you go to summer camp?<br />Once – did NOT like it.<br /><br />*Do you display your needles?<br />No, I keep them in various cases. <br /><br />*Have you been on Ravelry this week?<br />Yep – this morning before leaving the house for work.<br /><br />*Do you walk outside at night?<br />Sometimes. My husband walks almost every night around 11 p.m. – I’m fast asleep by that time.<br /><br />*Do you think in metric?<br />Nope!<br /><br />*Do you want a swap?<br />Sure – that would be fun!!<br /><br />*Are you afraid of mosquito borne illness?<br />No, but I’m conscious of bugs and try to avoid. I hate bug spray though and I’m sure the chemicals aren’t good for a body either.<br /><br />*Have you knit a Christmas or Holiday gift for 2016 yet?<br />No…I need to start pronto.<br />Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189170045283685051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-56048250242777392016-06-01T07:36:00.561-05:002016-06-01T07:36:00.561-05:00who isn't on ravelry every day??

I always enjoy your swaps.<br /><br />*Are you afraid of mosquito borne illness? No afraid, but I certainly respect them.

I do have the letters my mom wrote home when she was at camp. She apparently hated camp.<br />4. In a jar with a crocheted cover sent to me by a blog friend.<br />5. Of course. I check in a few times a day to see if I have any messages.<br />6. Not in summer. Mosquitoes love me.<br />7. No, it's very confusing to me.<br />8. No. I just spent $$$$ mailing off soap last week so I'm good for now. <br />9. No, just afraid of them in general since I'm allergic and I swell like crazy. <br />10. No. I gave up making stuff for people unless they ask for something specific.<br />Araigneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543030200956480168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-48796925228119026932016-05-31T16:40:52.248-05:002016-05-31T16:40:52.248-05:001.

2. No, ...1. No, no cable here as we have Hulu, etc.<br />2. No, June 8th is the last day, thank goodness a half day.<br />3. I went to summer camp but not a sleepaway one.<br />4. No; at first I wanted more needle rolls but got over it and store needles by size in small Ziplocs.<br />5. Yes, to update projects and start new ones.<br />6. No nighttime walks.<br />7. Only when I talk about running a 5K.<br />8. Maybe.<br />9. Kind of but we're paranoid about mosquitoes in general after our last experience.<br />10.

Though I'm really obsessing for the Eurocup 2016<br />*Is School OUT yet in your neighborhood? Yes The Kid is free range this week, but we are making sure he has responsibilities and activities each day.<br />*Did you go to summer camp? I finally got my dream to go to sports camp when I was in Middle School (on scholarship) I wanted sleep away camp so bad but we couldn't afford it. The irony is that I have the means to send my child and he has NEVER wanted to go. A true homebody. Good thing we like him ;)<br />*Do you display your needles? I don't. My world is cluttered it's amazing I don't.<br />*Have you been on Ravelry this week? Not this week. But now I need to, thanks for the distraction Kathy, ha! <br />*Do you walk outside at night? Yes, but usually with a destination. Returning from the gym work, dinner. <br />*Do you think in metric? Only for runs as in 5k 10k 12k. <br />*Do you want a swap? With you and your knitting pals? Absolutely.<br />*Are you afraid of mosquito borne illness? I should be, but no because there is no reason. if I was traveling, possibly. Fear is easy for me to tap into ;)<br />*Have you knit a Christmas or Holiday gift for 2016 yet? Nope, but I have summer goals.elnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654199835246576704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-89990591841623312212016-05-31T13:30:44.383-05:002016-05-31T13:30:44.383-05:001.

Yes, the buses left the school grounds early Friday afternoon for grades 6-12: elementary were dismissed on Thurs. or Wed.<br />3. No summer camp for me, as there were chores to do. <br />4. I display my older, straight needles, but the circulars are organized in a binder.<br />5. I haven't been on Ravelry for over three weeks.. <br />6. No, I don't walk at night: too many crazy things happen at night.<br />7. Metric is difficult for me, but I use it sometimes.<br />8. I'd love to swap<br />9. Yes, especially West Nile. This area is hit hard in the summer because of all the irrigation. The towns spray one to two nights a week during peak times. Mosquito traps are everywhere, and the species are counted to determine high risk areas. I avoid going out when they are active, and use repellent with DEET if I do go out. <br />10. No, but I give gifts during the year.Tired Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17285635623675889289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-63412677549251294512016-05-31T12:39:01.784-05:002016-05-31T12:39:01.784-05:00Happy Monday on Tuesday to you too!

It's probably because I am not thrilled with the winter olympics--except skiing.<br />2. School was out here last Thursday. The kids in our neighborhood are out and visible. The dogs bark constantly because they want to go out and play with them.<br />3. I went to summer camp every year from 4th grade through 8th grade. I was an only child and my mom and dad thought I spent too much time alone and needed to socialize.<br />4. I used to display my needles on a wall-hanging system in my sewing room. Now I keep them in a bag next to my chair so I don't have to go get them. Lazy, lazy, lazy!!<br />5. I don't spend much time on Ravelry--only when I am looking for a pattern. <br />6. I don't walk outside at night but I sit on the patio a lot to knit and watch the dogs play.<br />7. No, I refuse to give up "the old way." <br />8. It's been a while since I've been in a swap. I could do that!<br />9. No, we have solar bug zappers all around the patio and I wear an insect repellent bracelet.<br />10. I am well into Christmas with three gifts completed and a scarf on the needles.<br />Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450679959206351852noreply@blogger.com
