Once I made some into sleeves and stuck them onto a jean jacket. (The ripping out and sewing was a bigger pain in the neck than it was worth, to tell you the truth.

"But what ELSE do you have?" they ask me, as if I have a restaurant tucked into the backpack.<BR/><BR/>If you can knit, purl, increase, and decrease, you can knit a sweater. And if you can knit a sock, you can do all those things. Actually, you don't even HAVE to purl if you do the whole thing in the round, or in garter stitch.amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429539000041713324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-12234752866831014522007-11-11T00:48:00.000-05:002007-11-11T00:48:00.000-05:00I have just one thing to ask.

It always smelled the same. It smelled like comfort if that makes sense. They moved to FL last year, and I have yet to visit them at their place down there - and with 7 kids and a husband in another country, I don't think that is going to happen either, LOL. But I always wondered if their house still has the grandma and paw paw smell, or if it now has a new Florida version of their smell.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050466263238656666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-20405273361246598922007-11-10T22:39:00.000-05:002007-11-10T22:39:00.000-05:00If I can, I try to avoid doing laundry on trips if...If I can, I try to avoid doing laundry on trips if at all possible.
