I so agree that running away to Cancun, lying about it 12 x over and one of those lies blaming it on your daughters is a low life thing to do.....and yes. That could indeed be another long post/rant. None of us has all the patience we need and this tough year hasn't helped. I think you do remarkably well with so much on your plate. Leaving you a ((HUG)). Hope you and yours are staying safe from this Covid and are able to get your shots soon, if you've not already been successful at doing so.Sandyhttps://4ccccs.blogspot.com/2021/02/knitted-crocheting-listening-to-audio.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-39438238155967073992021-02-25T19:26:21.112-05:002021-02-25T19:26:21.112-05:00I made Harebell and it is my very favorite sweater...I made Harebell and it is my very favorite sweater ever.

It is funny, because when I do crochet, mostly for edging or reinforcing mitt thumbs etc, I find it rhythmic! <br /><br />Oh lil Buddy . He is so lucky he has YOU, laready mother of two men, for his momma! Does he have a subject he likes? Art? Science? I know at his age, I just did my homework as fast as I could. I wanted the endless workbooks and pages to be DONE. Im still very much that way. Even meditatiing. Lol. I think, is it overyet? <br /><br />The pups are adorable.

I had no idea Lion Brand made such a thing. <br /><br />I knit the same way you do: my right ring finger curls, and no matter how many different methods I try, I always fall back to holding my needle that way. I cannot break the habit. Even just doing row upon row of simple garter as practice in another method cannot change me.<br /><br />When I taught, I avoided weekend homework like the plague. I always told my students, "Only you can give yourself homework over the weekend." Alas, some frequently did. LB will never be alone in that, but of course, it impacts you as well.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-47996108662140538792021-02-22T09:22:45.830-05:002021-02-22T09:22:45.830-05:00Oh that ever loving homework on weekends.

I find that with home learning, my youngest works with more concentration than he does at school and there is less catching up to do. The yarn is scrumptious, I look forward to seeing what you make. Such a shame that knitting is uncomfortable. Have you tried continental knitting? From videos I have watched, I can see it involves far less movement than knitting methods elswheer and maybe this would be a solution for your strained hand and arm muscles? I find it quite comfortable.

I won't mind have merino wool sweater. Would have worn it for sure in the cold house we had for 9 days. Glad it's back on. LB is quite the character boy!! I am sure he wants things his way as all children do. Moms are more knowledgeable and loving on them and doing what's best in life. Have a good week!

I adore your new yarn. It is knitting up so beautifully. Love, Love it. <br />You are such a good Mom. You make things fun and yet make sure LB does what he needs to do. I wish I had been a better Mom. I think we get better as we age and learn what's important. Your two big boys trained you well for raising LB. You're doing wonderfully Mere!<br />Finally, those fur boys are someting else. They do like to pose for a photo don't they?<br />I hope you have a relatively calm week my friend.<br />Blessings and hugs,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-37109224440053602132021-02-21T23:53:05.729-05:002021-02-21T23:53:05.729-05:00That is some gorgeous yarn.

Crochet and cross-stitch have started to cause great pain in my thumbs and wrists so I do often have to take breaks now. Little B definitely knows that weekends are for rest and play :) but adults have turned it into a time to catch up on what we think needs to be done. I'm sure he'll figure out that it would be a better use of his time to get things done at school rather than bringing it home. Truly is awful what's happened in TX with the winter storm. Even saw that OK had tons of burst pipes and flooding. Infrastructure needs a major upgrade and an eye to the future because these types of disasters are likely going to get worse. Those furboys always make me smile. Take care. Have a good week.
