Some good clean fun?! [Archive 2]

I know lots of people hold their yarn around their pinky. I don't hold mine around any fingers- when I try my stitches get wonky. (well wonkier)....but I am so used to just holding the yarn resting on my index finger.

 

Every time I try and hold the yarn like they show you in videos, I start messing up, so I understand that it is what you get used to. It sounds like it might be because the finger is kept in a bent position. I agree with Vicki try Aleve

Thanks, girls! You are such a big help! I love you guys!

Shannon - we are all sisters!

 

I don't know where there's a pic of what I mean, but this is how i do it; Over my pointer, under the middle, over the ring, and under the pinky. Kind of like those toy knitting machines... they used to be called "knit magic" or something like that.

Well Nevada is beating Louisiana Tech 17-7. My DH went to Tech for a little while.

You gotta love Ellsbury and Martinez!

No, really I don't:lol

 

Although I'll admit that DH does like Ellsbury.....

 

I got a present from Boston DD today- she sent me 200 Crochet tips book, Road Warriers (about the 2007 Giant Championship run) and a book called Three Cups of Tea (about Greg Mortenson and his humanitarian campaign in the Taliban's backyard- He built 55 schools especially for girls . It sounds really good

I am glad it is Friday! I can sleep a little tomorrow. DD has tae kwon do tomorrow and then a dentist appointment. Gee, such a fun day!

[a_stitchintime]

speaking of Mary... she must be really busy with her kids/grandkids... and having a great time!

[irishrose]

Oh, okay. I'll definitely try that. I don't know how much more my poor little pinky can take!

I was just reading about him today, and that he did not get the Nobel Peace prize:think:think

[a_stitchintime]

him being Greg Mortenson... sorry

[irishrose]

Great presents, Joanne! That book does sound good. Hey, next week the Giants will be in the Superdome!! I'm excited about that game!

When I crochet the yarn rests on my index finger like LeaAnne does. I can't weave it through my fingers. I did that when I tried to knit and I just couldn't do it. I don't find it comfortable.

Tae Kwon do and the dentist in one day? Boy, Vicki, you sure do know how to have fun! ...that's like livin' on the edge!

[irishrose]

I'd rather not talk about the Nobel Peace Prize. Smoke might start billowing out of my ears!

[imanurse55]

Thanks Vicki, I'll try some Aleve.

 

Thank you for the advice, LeaAnne. I'll have to try that. Do you know where I can see a picture of someone holding the yarn like that?

I would do a you tube search- how to hold yarn or try this site:

Oh, yes! I'm a real wild one!

[a_stitchintime]

Wow! what a catch by Lowell! He stole a double from tory Hunter

[imanurse55]

Im watching the post game on Yes Network.

 

I'm interested to see what the twins manager says too....if he mentions that foul...er fair ball.....

yes, I know what you mean...

[Vicki loves yarn]

I saw your post on FB about the Nobel prize. I must say I was surprised to see that he got it.

[irishrose]

Thanks, Joanne. I love that she shows it lefty too. I'll have to try all of them and see what's most comfortable.

[Vicki loves yarn]

Would the Nobel committee have given it to Hillary if she had won? That is an interesting thought.

[imanurse55]

That should be a good game- Giants/Saints....we'll have a little fun rivalry going on Shannon.

 

Mortenson not getting the Nobel Prize? I don't want to talk about the Nobel Prize either....

[irishrose]

Did you know that the nominations had to be submitted two weeks after he became President?
