There are no bad answers contest day #6

By -


Just a few days left to the contest. Today's questions for those playing along are:

#15 How do YOU do a SSK?

#16 Do you pack a lunch for work? If so, what do you pack?

#17 If the person at work in the breakroom is eating a tuna fish sandwich, how do you react?

#18 I've injured my fingers making guacamole, (stitches required) and holding a recent big Bass by the lip. Have you injured an important knitting finger, and if so HOW!


I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

#15 How do YOU do a SSK?
slip 1 as if to purl, slip the next as if to purl, then knit both together

#16 Do you pack a lunch for work? If so, what do you pack?
I work at home....the kitchen is my break room. LOL

#17 If the person at work in the breakroom is eating a tuna fish sandwich, how do you react?
We love tuna sandwiches here at the Casa of Chaos and often eat it for lunch. I do have to some times dole out some breathmints afterwards though :)

#18 I've injured my fingers making guacamole, (stitches required) and holding a recent big Bass by the lip. Have you injured an important knitting finger, and if so HOW!
OUCH!!!!!!! Using very sharp knitting needles, I have poked a hole in my right index finger pad while pushing the needle away while trying to slide stitches to the point of the left needle.

15 How do YOU do a SSK? I knit the stitches together through the back loop (am not a continental knitter)

#16 Do you pack a lunch for work? If so, what do you pack?
No. I am a stay at home mom... so I eat at home.

#17 If the person at work in the breakroom is eating a tuna fish sandwich, how do you react?

YUM! And I'll make sure to get me one also

#18 I've injured my fingers making guacamole, (stitches required) and holding a recent big Bass by the lip. Have you injured an important knitting finger, and if so HOW!

Yes. I slit the top of my index finger while cleaning a meat slicing machine, now 9 years ago. Painful. Couldn't knit for a month

15: I slip as if to knit unless told in the instructions to do otherwise. Is there a right/wrong way?

16: I have salad or soup for lunch, and pack or buy is about 50/50.

17: If there is a tuna sandwich around I'll arm wrestle someone for it!

18: I used to slice fingers while chopping a lot until I got the new handy-dandy food processor.

I love this question-along thing! It's fun to read all the answers.

I slip the first stitch knit-wise, the second stitch purl-wise, and then knit them together through the back loop. Don't remember where I learned that tip.

Eat at home, usually a big salad w/ chicken and cheese on top and a piece of fruit.

Yum, love tuna. I'd probably react be craving tuna and bringing it the next day.

Nnnnooooo, never hurt a knitting finger. You poor dear. Buy your guacamole from now on, and heal up soon!!!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
