Dulaan knit-in

Yesterday, I swallowd my pride and returned to the place of my mortification.  I am so glad I did, I had such a good time and I met so many nice, local knitters; several I knew from their blogs or from KALs.  It was nice to be able to put a face to the names.

I used to sew

No, really, I used to sew - a lot.  I sewed almost all of the kids clothes, I made baby quilts as gifts for friends, I sewed bags and purses, and accessories for the home.  Now, not so much.

why, why, why?

Are men so helpless? (ok, maybe not all men, but it seems like it today)  Our son has a cold, picked it up from Daughter, and we are out of almost all of the necessary cold type meds.  Hubby volunteered to go to the store and pick them up, I said no, that I would do [...]
