I had to look it up too, once I started reading the forums. Then I read it in EZ’s book.
Well I have to go to the dentist today, again. I hadn’t gone for years but I broke a tooth and that was the deciding factor. I told him that I wanted to get it all done asap, and only have two more appointments, today to fit crowns and next time to put them in.
I switched dentists because my old one always had so many weeks between appointments that by the time I was done, it was time to go for my 6-month check up.
Last week, I learned that one of the partners in the office (the woman, naturally) is quite the knitter. We got into this discussion because as I was waiting for my novacaine to take effect, I was knitting away. Now I kind of wish I had gone to her. Maybe not, this guy is rather young and good looking. :happydance: I suspect there would be so much knit talk with the other dentist that I wouldn’t be getting much dentistry done.
Now my main concern for today is what to bring to knit while I have to do any waiting. Everything on the needles is either too bulky or needs a chart. Last time I did ribbing for my frog sweater. That, beyond anything else the dentist is going to do to me, is my biggest concern. Hmmmmm
well… you could always [color=red]burn[/color] through a scarf or a sweater…
I’ll have to be put away if I start another sweater, and I’m waiting on a scarf book that I just ordered. There’s one with a dragon that I just have to make. I have two pillow halves that I made for a Christmas present :oops: that need to be sewn together. I think I’ll pick up the st and do a three-needle bind off. No pattern to have out, knitting needles rather than the dreaded tapestry needle and a gift long overdue. Now to find the yarn I used. . . .
OH, Ingrid! I hope ya dont end up like THIS :shock: :
:roflhard:
KK you and Hilde just crack me up!
Thank you. I need the smiles at work.
:roflhard: Love Alfalfa!! :roflhard: I’m so numb right now, I feel like that!! Drooled all the way home. :rollseyes:
But I did get one edge for each side of the pillow picked up with a row knitted so it wouldn’t be too tight. I’ll be a relief to get it done.
It took longer than I had envisioned, but I finally finished this pillow that’s been hanging around since Christmas. I didn’t have enough stuffing, so I went to the dollar store and bought a pillow and cut it open. Worked out great. The stuffing was just fiberfill, but denser than the stuff you get in the bag, plus it saved me a much longer trip.
I got the cat from a google search for a Celtic Cat pattern and the Knot is from a sweater pattern.
Today I should be able to get most of the back of the frog done. Then I have to sew. Poo.
Are you done drooling yet? Poor thing…
That cat is WILD! Really unusual! Like it!
Thanks.
Yes, I have feeling in my mouth, but in spite of having dental insurance, my wallet will be numb for a while. Oh well, gotta be able to chew!
Very cool pillows Ingrid!
Thanks! But it’s one pillow, front and back.
:doh: :roflhard:
love the celtic cat! I wish I had time to knit!
