Yeah, they do it to us. If you look at different posterās status, they say different things depending on the number of posts. Last Iād noticed mine I was grafting the toe.
Iāve either lost 2 sts on my current project or picked up 2 and Iām tinking. Thatās all I can do, tink till I figure it out. When the count is correct on both vest fronts Iāll figure out where to go from there. To increase or not to increase, that is the question.
Hubby and I made turkey hot pockets today so the kids are on their way over for hot out of the over turkey hot pockets with a side of momās cranberry mix.
Yeah, itās a top down raglan style to use up some acrylic yarn and keep me warm when itās coldā¦like now weāre @37, down from a high of 38, and yes itās [COLOR=āBlueā]COLD[/COLOR] and we already had a freezing, [COLOR=āBlueā]c-c-cold[/COLOR], windy spell and this is western Washington where itās always gray and rainy but doesnāt really get [COLOR=āBlueā]cold[/COLOR] very often and itās still a long time till spring, and yes Iām a wuss when it comes to weatherā¦and Iāve started it in yellow, a bright cheery color I rarely use but will most like switch to something else soon. Iām sure there wonāt be enough yellow to finish. It will have cap sleeves. Thatās all planned, but I might frog it.
Enjoy laughing 'cause I think itās cold here, I know it gets much colder and stays that way longer where you are. :roflhard: might help you warm up some.
37 degrees , stop messin with me woman :tap: Thatās spring time weather .
Now my DIL wants me to knit her GD Molly from the Big Comfy Chair :hair: I was showing her the Holly and Finn doll Iām working on and she says " Wow mom, you could easily turn that into a Molly doll for Sophia " I wouldnāt mind but this child goes through toys like mad. Plus thatās all I hear from my GD, how Sophia has way to many toys and doesnāt appreciate them. So Iām going to take months knitting up a life size doll that will more than likely end up in the trash or goodwill in a couple of months :shrug: You know what , Iāll just have to be the horrible Great Grandma this time .
NOT horrible. Sometimes we need to say no. I suppose that if your DIL wants a hand knit toy for her grand then she could learn to make them herself. Betcha if a few people really had a clue how much work and time it takes to do these things theyād be a bit more considerate in what they ask for and less likely to take them for granted.
I hope you had a good laugh at my expense, that was the point all along. :mrgreen: IT IS COLD!
Did you email me on Nov. 24? I think I PMed you to ask. I thought might be from you but Iām not sure. I will respond if itās from you, otherwise itās headed for the trash.
Well apparently one can butt dial 911:noway: My daughter bought me a new cell phone because my old one I couldnāt text on it and Iāve never text before and she hated the fact that she couldnāt shoot me a text as she put it. I was in the car driving and I went to pull my phone out of my pocket , I sat it on the seat next to me and the next thing I know itās ringing . I answered it and it was an operator from 911 asking me what my emergency was :shock::oops::help: needless to say I was confused as I didnāt dial 911 butt apparently my butt was in trouble :roflhard: Dang new phone ! So now I have to find out what it is I need to do so that never happens again.
Yikes! Not a good thing to have happen. I can just imagine them setting up a sting here in Washington, you answer and the lights on the cop car behind you come on. Is it illegal to hold a cell phone and drive where you live? I can text on my flip phone but itās not real easy. I like that. Iām not into texting much. I can do SMS via my Google number so I can send messages to phones and get the replies on 'puter.
Iāve never text until this past weekend , I was a good girl though because I wasnāt texting or even using the phone while I was driving . I just took it out of my pocket and sat it on the seat next to me so I have no idea how it happen . I wish I knew . I should ask our X heās probably up on stuff like this . Old ladies like me are clueless on technical fandagoly modern stuff .
ha! i had to research HDMI (modern fancy audio/video) to RCA (old-school audio/video) converters, so i could figure out how to connect my momās new dvd/blu-ray/streaming device to her not-that-old tube TV. there are many things i donāt know⦠but i DO know how to look many of them up and fake it
not sure what your phone did. i have the ācall confirmā app on my smartphone. it makes me hit a button saying yes, i really do want to call, and i really do want to call that number. i donāt make many calls FROM my phone (much more texting and mobile web use) so itās not a big hassle for me to hit that extra button.
a fun article about butt dialing and 911 is at How To Avoid Being A 911 'Butt-Dialer' Nuisance | PCWorld and includes suggestions for minimizing the possibilities. my favorite is the SWAT story - wife heard rap music and muffled talk, so she suspected husband was kidnappedā ha ha haā¦
X, maybe you can answer this one for me, the link you gave me said to Lock the phone , that I know how to do but if I lock it is that the same as turning it off ? Will I still get phone calls if I do that ? Hubby will not text , he only calls me when Iām at work .
Iām not sure Iāve ever really made a for real butt call. Iāve pressed the wrong buttons and made calls to the wrong person. That can be embarrassing. Iāve gotten butt calls from other people. Takes a bit to figure out whatās going on.
if you lock the phone (usually with a password, passnumber, maze, etc), it is still powered ON - itās not the same as turning the phone off - it just isnāt immediately accessible. you can set it so incoming calls bypass that and can be answered right away, but youād still need to enter your code to make an outgoing call. all of that is under the preferences and settings menus. i canāt tell you exactly because all the phone models/carriers work a little differently.
Thanks X, Iām going to AT&T in the morning this is just stupid stupid stupid . I canāt reset my pin # for voicemail and now the phone wonāt let me text to some of my contacts :hair: tells me thereās an error ? I hate new things , new stuff I donāt understand and the two little info books that came with the phone are not helping me at all :wall: Is it just because Iām this shrinking , gray haired little old Nana that this makes no sense to me:whoosh:I hate modern technologyā¦well at least right now I do.
Well, I finally got my phone reset :yay: I have to say texting which I never thought I would be doing is kind of fun , shhhh! donāt repeat that to anyone . Hubby thinks itās stupid and that I look like a fool texting but at the same time heāll say , hey text so and so and ask them⦠He said his fingers are to big to text ,which may be right the buttons are tiny things.
Well, I need to get back to knitting this hoodie scarf for my mail lady if Iām going to give it to her by Christmas. Iām not using a pattern on this and Iām not sure what Iāll do for the hood part. I thought of knitting two piece and seaming them together but then I thought of just increasing sts on the outer edge (front) when I get close to the shoulder ,maybe 8sts two each row and then knit until I get to the section where I would need to decrease back down to the other shoulder :shrug: not sure yet what Iāll do
