Now I present to you all my first big accomplishment of the year. Namely, clearing off my desk, a number one "hot spot" if ever there was one. The accumulation is neatly filed into a portable file box with labelled files, or into the medical file. Of course after The Year of the Knee, the medical file is bulging. I hasten to add, not only did I Get it cleared, I've kept it cleared! Update number two: I conquered yet another technological marvel this week by downloading audio books from my library to listen to while I knit. I must admit that sometimes I think the Amish have the right idea by accusing electricity of separating the members of the family. Since, at the moment Good Guy is reading the news on a computer, and I'm doing this and nobody is communicating with anyone in the room. . . . . . .
Update three. The pattern has been agreed on, and the yarn has been ordered. I should like to think that it is, even now, wending it's way here from New York.
Number Four: Due to the fact that I had so much trouble finding the size pattern I need, I suggest to the knitting community that somebody write a book of patterns for distinguished portly men. Somebody younger than I. I know that isn't the sexiest task for designers to take on, but it's an area where there is a woeful lack. If I decide to take on that challenge I expect you all to buy a copy, whether you knit or not. The chances of your having to do this are so extremely remote, I can't even imagine how to tell you!
Have a nice weekend, if I don't get back here before then. We have "storm warnings". LOL, wind and less than an inch accumulation. Storms aren't what they used to be....
good for you!
ReplyDeleteI have to laugh at the word portly. We have a friend that describes himself as such, we have a blast when he is here with my parents, my step mom even monogrammed him a "God loves a portly man" hand towel.
People in general are becoming more portly. I bet that pattern will be available within the next 40 years LOL I will buy a copy if you write it and I'll buy one for a few of my friends, too!
ReplyDeleteStorm warnings in the UP that are for an inch of snow. My, how times have changed.
