I'm resisting the urge to participate with my local strip club :-)<BR/><BR/>I taught a beginning knitting class once and one of my students was a crocheter. She reluctantly admitted to me that she really didn't enjoy knitting at all and I told her that's OK. They really are two very different crafts.<BR/><BR/>Hi Marsha,<BR/>I'm much better at knitting than quilting, but I loved the colors of this quilt and it was fun taking the class with my friend from work.<BR/>(I think Daisy is cute too!)RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-59005806369429018492008-02-11T08:15:00.000-06:002008-02-11T08:15:00.000-06:00You are a woman of many talents...the knitting alw...You are a woman of many talents...the knitting always impressed me and now the quilt - WOW!

I'll have to add that Ken Follett book to my request list at the library.<BR/><BR/>Hi Lisa,<BR/>The quilt will be done by machine. When I finally get all the blocks sewn together, I will have my friend from work (who I took the class with) quilt it on her big quilting machine. I still like knitting better--it's much more portable!<BR/><BR/>Hi Mare,<BR/>Glad you finally got the pictures. Blogger didn't want to download them yesterday when I did this post. <BR/>I just finished Phyllis's afghan while watching Nature on PBS this evening--it's in the washer right now!<BR/><BR/>Hi Nina,<BR/>I hope you get a chance to see the pictures....Blogger can be kind of tempermental at times!<BR/><BR/>Hi Lynne,<BR/>I hope Phyllis will love the afghan too. It's so warm and I loved those colors too.<BR/>The socks are meant to go over another pair and will keep your feet extra warm inside your boots.<BR/><BR/>Hi Maud,<BR/>The quilt class was fun and I found out after cutting the strips for the 25 square wall hanging that I had a lot of fabric left over, so cut the rest of the strips yesterday afternoon and now have enough to make a bed-sized quilt! But with twice as many squares to sew, now it will take me a lot longer to complete!<BR/><BR/>Hi Jayne,<BR/>And I am in awe of your singing, child raising and nursing talents! It's a good thing we all have our special talents.<BR/>My outside chime really got a workout this weekend with all the high winds we had--I can hear it in the house even with the windows closed!<BR/><BR/>Hi Loribird,<BR/>I used to do lots of sewing but have gotten away from it. I think quilting is alot harder than knitting (and not as easy to rip out your mistakes either). But it's fun to work on a different project every so often.<BR/><BR/>Hi Richard,<BR/>Wait till that quilt is done....there are so many beautiful colors in it.<BR/><BR/>Hi Ruth,<BR/>I'm glad your scarf arrived and that you like it. It should be nice and warm even with the lacy design. Our weatherman is predicting a high above zero tomorrow, so hopefully your cold snap won't last too long either.<BR/><BR/>Hi Barefoot,<BR/>Thanks.....I'll be over shortly!RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-34530346776248786322008-02-10T19:41:00.000-06:002008-02-10T19:41:00.000-06:00Ahhhh!

You are so gifted and generous. I received the beautiful scarf you sent me for completing the birding quiz this Friday. I will treasure it!

The shawls are so intricate, something to keep you warm. Someone special is certainly going to like those socks especially if it's a cold as it is this weekend. That hat is just to cool, the yarn is so interesting. You sure are working at getting out of the funk. All I do is read, I'm working on reading Ken Follett's book "Pillars of the Earth" It's 973 pages and in a week and a half I've read over half of it. It is really hard to lay down it is so interesting. I've read some of his books before, oh I just found out he has a sequel to "Pillars".<BR/>MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
