They dated from the time when I was young, mortgage free and cared a great deal about investing in shoes to last a long time with great wear. And then pregnancy made my feet grow a size. Now my sister has four pairs of campers in excellent condition and she's very happy and I'm, well, not.soozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14784397133575053048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-1165101190953323612006-12-02T18:13:00.000-05:002006-12-02T18:13:00.000-05:00Have you seen the new book about the cholera epide...Have you seen the new book about the cholera epidemic in London? I was processing it at work yesterday and thought of you.

Knitting? And shopping? I'm just happy if I can get my sizeable arse into the shower every day, make meals and maybe do a load of laundry. <BR/><BR/>You have to stop recommending books. I've taken out four and if you keep throwing them at me by the dozen, I'm never going to catch up. Or maybe this isn't required reading and I'm just being anal.

Pittsburgh Knit and Bead up in Squirrel Hill, Shady and Forbes, between the sports bar and the sketchy Asian food place, would probably be happy to set you up with a cast-on row. But knittinghelp.com will be good too.<BR/><BR/>I have a skinny scarf that you might like, I'll take a picture and send it... I will probably never wear it, but it was fun to knit.

I picked up a new one at Pier I, but yours is much nicer!<BR/><BR/>I think knitting is one of those things you can learn very quickly from someone in person. No elderly relatives around?

It has clear drawings and it not dry as a bone to read. She's pretty witty. <BR/><BR/>In fact, that's where I learned to cast on.Amy A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00925450065372129194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-1165007208037407982006-12-01T16:06:00.000-05:002006-12-01T16:06:00.000-05:00why must you have an adult cast on for you? send m...why must you have an adult cast on for you? <BR/>send me the wool and I'll cast it on...<BR/><BR/>I think you hafta buy the damn shoes.<BR/><BR/>and then they can be OUR shoes.blackbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474831322702380602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685011.post-1165005954671384682006-12-01T15:45:00.000-05:002006-12-01T15:45:00.000-05:00I wondered what you were doing for Primo's birthda...I wondered what you were doing for Primo's birthday. <BR/><BR/>This year is a big one for my boy--DOUBLE DIGITS!

Beautifully written, but depressing). Am reading Broken for you and am 1/2 way through, love it. Know what you mean about the present-buying. I finished mine in a 3 hr session at the mega-shopping centre, and had to throw in MORE books for the kids as Big W (like Walmart?) has them so damn cheap. The boy's birthday is a week before Christmas so I have to be superorganised and bought him a PLAN treehouse.
