Do you really truly want to learn left handed knitting? If you do, I can ask Cece, who is left handed, what knitting resources are best for that.

I thought I did, but then I learned. :) Meg said that the "continental style" was also called "left-handed knitting" so I thought it was worth a try, but in the end I decided to just keep doing what's working for me.

But, thanks!

Of COURSE people visit your office when you're all puffy. That's like the unwritten law that no one ever visits right after a bout of spring cleaning.

I've been home sick for three days. My house is a mess. I've watched endless hours of really bad television and my brain is fried. This will be the night that someone randomly decides to come over.

On the positive side, your posts have *almost* been enough motivation for me to get out my crocheting. I started it four years ago, but I'm sure I can figure out what I was doing if I can just find it. (I haven't got the energy to actually look for it yet, but I'm considering it!) I'm not a good sick person.

Still. I have days (sometimes day after day...) when I look just fine. No one ever comes to the office on those days. :(

Get out the crocheting! When I picked it up again last summer, I hadn't touched it for ten years or more. I remembered very quickly. (Mostly I'm doing it as a weight loss aid. I figure every scarf I make is at least 1000 calories I'm not eating!)

I bought some fancy new yarn today. Reminder me again, of Rapunzel and Pippi, who's got winter colors? And the other is fall, or spring?

Rap is spring. Coral is probably her best color to wear, but her bedroom and coat are an off white with gold undertones.

Pippi is fall. She is at her WPA school dance tonight in a gorgeous long brown and gold fitted dress. Looks amazing on her. She got the dress on sale at the mall for... are you ready for this?...$12.00!
