I've always wanted to do a ripple pattern.<br />3. No Preference. I like to have lots of different gauges going. Better for my hands.<br />4.

The baby blanket is wonderful.<br />3. I really like w 4-5 sts/in or 8-9. Above or in-between affects my hands.<br />4. I can't drink coffee; it's like diuretic for my stomach.<br />5. My mum makes my paternal grandfather's curry and stew. I don't have the recipes but I have that banana cup-cake one from her old boss.<br />6. Yes but I'm not on FB.<br />7. Mine aren't college aged yet so I'd have to say kindergarten.<br />8. I only started knitting in 2008 so I'm not sure if patterns are better written but I know some patterns that I've tried from Ravelry or online I have to reformat it so I can understand it.<br />9. No.<br />10. Haven't had a pet since I was in college.Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081916135477167930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-4594781385688971712016-08-22T12:02:12.293-05:002016-08-22T12:02:12.293-05:001.

The best coffee I've ever had was in Biloxi, Mississippi, Bill's first duty station in the Air Force. It was my first encounter with chicory.<br />5. My mom's cornbread recipe is used by me, my daughter and daughter-in-laws. It has honey in it.<br />6. I use the message feature to talk to my granddaughter-in-law (Carrie's son's wife) all the time, and to my son-in-law's mom in Canada.<br />7. Definitely college! At least you still have them at home in kindergarten.<br />8. Patterns have absolutely improved! I rarely find errors or confusing instructions these days.<br />9. I have an afghan pattern given to me by my mom's friend Stella but it's in my head--and heart.<br />10. I had both dogs in the car with me two days ago. We traveled with them for a week last summer. We are lucky that they both love the car and going bye-bye.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450679959206351852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-57946372563074946532016-08-22T11:24:56.375-05:002016-08-22T11:24:56.375-05:001.

...1. I have but can't think of them right now.<br />2. I don't care much for the colors, but have always liked that pattern.<br />3. I knit in all gauges from tiny socks to blankets. I don't like huge needles though.<br />4. Not a coffee fan.<br />5. My Mom's banana bread is wonderful.<br />6. I use it with our son in Japan often. Last night he was in Shangai, China and we were messaging back and forth and then he face-timed with us. I LOVE technology. :-)<br />7. I did okay with both kindergarten and college. It was when they all moved far away that I came unglued and I'm still a pile of mush.<br />8. I like the newer ones much better. They seem more detailed.<br />9. I can't remember the question!<br />10. Chloe goes to the lake with me, back and forth, several time a week.<br /><br />Have a wonderful day my friend,<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-52122689975623989472016-08-22T09:09:47.494-05:002016-08-22T09:09:47.494-05:00I'll answer here now, since KH/KC is taking up...I'll answer here now, since KH/KC is taking up all my own blog space!<br />1. Yes.<br />2. I think it's wonderful; I'm a fan of chevrons.<br />3. Honestly, I don't know! I'll have to pay closer attention!<br />4. Not a coffee drinker.<br />5. Yes --- my grandmother's Italian Cream Cake.<br />6. No, I didn't. What a great tool.<br />7. Kindergarten. By the time they leave for college, you've got a lot of first days under your belt.<br />8. They're certainly better in terms of telling you how much yarn you will need. Older patterns seem<br /> to call for ounces only.<br />9. A full box.<br />10. Finn went with me to Tennessee once, after my mother died and I was sorting things out at the<br /> house. So, 4 years ago or so?

My daughter ...so fun to learn a bit more about you! My daughter starts kindergarten next month, good to know that it's the harder one- gulp! I find patterns are a mixed bag, and probably always will be- while north american ones are more detailed and longer and better for newer knitters, I find european style ones a bit obscure because they style is so different form what i'm used to.

I like to shake it up a bit for my hands, but I do enjoy knitting on sizes 2, 6, 8/9<br />4. No coffee for me, but I like a HOT Earl Grey<br />5. Yes, a sour cream raisin cookie and an icebox spice cookie.<br />6. I'm not a Facebook fan<br />7. Hmmm<br />8. Today's patterns seem to be easier to read and to knit. Older patterns assume knitters know the technique or stitch.<br />9. No one in my family knit, but my paternal grandmother and I didn't know her.<br />10. Probably 1990 - Pepper, a large black shaggy dog, who was my mother's shadow. <br />Tired Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17285635623675889289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-87102684344410262812016-08-21T22:08:38.998-05:002016-08-21T22:08:38.998-05:00Best wishes on that move.
