I am right there with you on sorbitol. Well, any of the sugar alcohols really. They are all bad for my tummy.

I wish that food manufacturers would be more up front about what was in their food. Now they hide ingredients by their chemical name in VERY small print. :-(

If you knit in the round there is no need to purl (most of the time).
I think we are getting a bit too much snow for the first of the season. I had wanted to go to Three Bags but not going to in this stuff.
My sister stated that her daughter loves snow and they are coming for Thanksgiving. They live in South Florida now. They moved there a few years ago and my nieces misses the snow. She so wants to move back to Chicagoland.

Another fun post.

Snow on the ground here, and it was below Zero this morning, so my "B" would be Brrrr!

What a fun post! Frozen m & m's - haven't had them in years, but oh, so good. Love the snow. It's still 50 degrees here in NY but going into the twenties every night in the upcoming week. Great Hunkering down weather, isn't it.

I enjoy all your posts very much. I spent the first 30 years of my life on the North Shore, maybe not too far from where you are!

Yay! for Christmas lights, m&ms, beautiful golden trees, knitting (rather than purling), good books, and SNOW!

Loved reading this fun post.♥

I saw your snow on the weather channel...awesome!!! My neighbor's house is all decked out in lights tonight. And when did it start getting dark so early? For the first time ever I am hating the short days. Oh...and I use q tips too. What else for itchy ears?

Our GK called last night with the SNOW news and played outside from 7:30 AM on today; we, however, just had our first frost yesterday! Frosty rooftops both then and today. At this time of year when the skies are clear, it gets cold at night. Sometimes we even get snow!

You are so cute. I miss you! I wish you were going to Mistletoe Market with me. I'm sure we'd have a ball. Wondra and Under Armour are staples around here too.

I so enjoyed this post this morning! Thank you. I haven't heard of Wondra flour-nice to know.
I love Dark M & M's....they help me count rows! I gave up gum 4 years ago when I had a flare up of TMJ and never went back to it. Enjoy your indoors and knitting!

I love the tree in your photo for this post. The tree and its leaves almost looks like it has been painted into the photo. Of course, it could be my computer screen too.

The alpha list was fun today. I thought F was going to be Fezzik the furry wonder kitty.

I hope you are enjoying your new spindle and fiber from araignee. I'm very new to using a spindle but I really do like it.

What a great post. Several years ago (maybe 7 or 8) there was a blog-along where every 2 weeks you were supposed to post a picture for a letter of the alphabet. ABC-along I think it was called. It was really fun to do - and see on everyone's blog. I think it should be resurrected! You did a great job.

How the heck does she knit raglan top-down on straights? Seeing that first photo, it looked like a turkey sweater, LOL. Loved reading through your alphabet list.

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...
