Don’t you hate it when that happens!?
Julie - My SIL and loves Halloween orange and I almost bought that CottoneEase to make her something, but she lives in Florida . . .
BTW, your sweater looks like a pinkish color on my compter screen.
Pink? Really? No … it’s that Halloween orange. :lol: You could make your s-i-l a tank top w/ the orange stuff. Here’s one!
That’s a really cute tank, I’ll have to email the link to her to see if she likes it. Might be a good Christmas present!
I am using the Wood in my Afghan from Hell…it makes up very nicely plus it will be washable and durable. It is softer to work with than I thought it might be too. Not at all skritchy.
No Tuesday Morning near me demmit.
I’m really surprised that wood would be soft! 
I thought it was cute, too. I think I’m going to give it a try for myself. I’m not ready to make clothes to give away yet. I haven’t managed to knit one yet that I haven’t ripped out. :rollseyes: (Except for my DD’s tank, I guess.)
Let me know if you decide to make this for her, and we can start a knit along.
All right, Ingrid, we’ll have your desk plate ready soon:
Ingrid, Director in Charge of Spelling Errors
:rofling:
Its a character flaw. If it was spelling, I wouldn’t say anything. Typos that are funny, on the other hand. . …
Likewise … But I’m making mental notes of the spelling errors I see on here. :fingerwag: ( hee hee )
I used to do Medical Transcription in a previous life. The group of us that kind of worked together used to call ourselves “Word Warriors.” I love words. 
Geeky, yes, I know. I also used to read the dictionary when I was a child. :oops:
During free time now during summer school, the teacher and other staff in the room play Scrabble, each with a student as a ‘partner.’ I, apparently, am the Scrabble Dictionary. I’m also consulted by other staff on crossword puzzles, too. I know I’m not smarter than these people. I just tell them that English is my native language. I guess some of us are ‘language minded’ the way others lean toward math.
That’s hilarious, Ingrid. I love to play Scrabble. And I think you’re right about language strengths, etc. I’m not bad at math, but I definitely have a much stronger intuition about language than I do for math. I love discovering word origins and making up my own words using unusual combinations. (e.g., my son has a much loved stuffed cat that is definitely showing it’s age. After reading a book about dinosaurs, we decided the it must be a plateofeline – flat cat.) Of course, it’s even more fun to find obscure words to throw into conversation occasionally just to see who will pick up on it.
OK … enough word geekiness.
