I have done that for help before; the employees are usually quick to assist a confused & frustrated customer. Good luck, and hang in there!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13803029091790787376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176966263550749305.post-34137065455954943612010-02-24T22:57:29.483-05:002010-02-24T22:57:29.483-05:00Oh Bev, I do understand.

When my sons were little I made them matching fishermen's knit sweaters. It was a challenge, but it really was fun.<br />You can do it!!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937532276250199445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176966263550749305.post-40274991747307539532010-02-24T19:14:15.749-05:002010-02-24T19:14:15.749-05:00Hahahaha rolling on the floor holding my sides her...Hahahaha rolling on the floor holding my sides here too ... because I just love that last paragraph. The part about stuffing kleenex up your sweater to catch the drool. Oh, sister, I'll be in that nursing home with you and we are gonna talk about everything !!!<br /><br />BTW ... You are a GENIUS to put markers on so you can count and recount. I have never, ever thought of that. Never. Genius I tell you. You are going to change the way I knit. As in ... I will never again end the first row of 180 stitches with not enough stitches.

It'll make up for the time I made you teach me a French knot via phone when I was in college, and there was no such thing as YouTube or anything else visual to help me. You did, and of course there's sewing, and giving birth, and cooking--and all those other things you've taught me. And the awesome shower curtain Halloween outfit you made me--remember that?<br /><br />So just keep on calling; I'd never block you! I just laugh a little when I see your number . . .Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03867656058895825645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176966263550749305.post-31730700424129594932010-02-24T12:11:31.514-05:002010-02-24T12:11:31.514-05:00Darling, fun post!!!Darling, fun post!!!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360047123820906113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176966263550749305.post-24982954225535771592010-02-24T11:27:38.076-05:002010-02-24T11:27:38.076-05:00Oh Bev, don't give up!

But when I just make myself plow through it even though it doesn't make sense and I can't see how this is possibly going to come together- I always come out smiling on the other side. Kind of like life, huh?<br />And I love, love, love that coral color!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05000458717596988346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176966263550749305.post-61434184250784985232010-02-24T10:21:31.859-05:002010-02-24T10:21:31.859-05:00I've been taught how to knit several times now...I've been taught how to knit several times now and each time I've promptly forgotten again.
