    Now this is something I have never had the patience for! But I am developing the patience to knit...so who knows what lays in my future...I know it is an excellent way to keep the brain sharpe

    I haven't done a crossword puzzle in years which is a shame because they are so much fun!

    I'm never smart enough (aka patient enough) to sit & try to figure out crossword puzzles! If the answer doesn't come right away I put it down!

    My husband is a wiz at crosswords. I think I prefer sudoku.

    I love a good crossword puzzle as long as it's not ridiculously hard. Stumped on any words?

    Visiting from SouleMama...I love to see an actual newspaper. I saw someone recently doing the crossword on their iPad....just isn't the same to me. Happy weekending!

    The other day I heard Robert Kraft say that his wife used to love crossword puzzles--she did them in ink.

    My friend Tim used to do the NY Times crossword on SU by just randomly filling in letters and then crumpling the paper and saying "That was easy." I always got a laugh because I knew what he did but other didn't and their reactions were priceless!

    wowzers, it looks like you did good! I think I'm incapable of doing a crossword puzzle without ripping out my tears and ending up as a mess of tears! You'll have to teach me your tips. :)

  Good morning! How are you and how is your crafting coming along? I continue to work feverishly on the christening blanket and am now mulling over how to finish it off without doing all of the remaining charts. I do not have much yarn left with the second skein. I do have a third optional color (similar to the first one) but I'm not sure if I want that and most of all I don't know if 500 yards will give me an additional inch of pattern based on how many inches I obtained with the second skein.  If I could get the blanket to be 36 inches wide and long (it's a square!) I feel that would be enough of a blanket. So my wonderings are: how many add inches in blocking will I get? Definitely one inch per quadrant but would I get two inches? Three inches might be right out! Also, how do I finish it off? I am going to flip through some of my other knitting books for some ideas. Overall, I have loved knitting this and I'm excited to get it off the needles and give it a blocking....

  Good morning lovely people! How are you? How's the weather?  We are having a crazy heat wave and I am so done with it. I got into my car yesterday early evening after it was parked in the sun for 2 1/2 hours. The car registered 97 degrees. Good gracious!! My knitting have been a lot of fun this week. The top photo is yet again another baby sweater , this time for our grandbaby-to-be. You know I love to knit baby sweaters, they knit up so very fast. Below is the small baby blanket that has seen only a few rows added since the last time I took a photo. What have you been working on this week?

  Good morning! How are you?  I should make this post title 'non-knitting news'. I haven't done much of anything for a span of days because I haven't been feeling well. However, the medicine I started on Sunday night is finally working and so I am less miserable. I was knitting last night and that is a sign of health for me. Above is the third cowl of the same pattern but I am only making one project page for the three of them. They will be gifts eventually. The knitting is mindless and somewhat comforting when I am watching a tv show or listening to a podcast.  What are you working on?
