Hiddee? That pronunciation would never have occurred to me.

Alison, yesterday I said that the next time your post was about knitting, that I would have something relevant to say. So here it is:

I live in a mobile home park, and we have a monthly magazine. My job is to do all the computer work. For this posting, I have extracted the following that will appear in the May issue:

KNITTING GROUP CELEBRATES FIRST YEAR
By Sue Larson 
 
Just a year ago a notice was put in the Sunset Estates magazine inviting interested folks to come to the first meeting of the  “Knitting Group” on Monday, May 19, 2008 at 3 PM in the Clubhouse.  A dozen ladies showed up that day and we have been going strong ever since!
 
Our on-going project has been knitting baby hats for El Camino Hospital.  The proud parents get to pick a knitted hat for the baby to wear home.  With hundreds of babies born each month, they need a lot of baby hats.  Our little group has knitted over 600 baby hats since last May.  We’ve added chemo hats and lap robes to our project items and have enjoyed the contributions we have made.
 
Over the course of the year, we’ve had many ladies join us at our Monday knitting group gatherings who do not knit, but the discovery of the “Nifty Knitter” has turned our non-knitters into the most excited bunch of ladies in the group because by learning to use the Nifty Knitter, they are making “knitted” baby hats that are as exciting and cute as those made by the regular knitters.  We have such a good time looking at all our creations! There are lots of “ohs” and ahs” and pats on the back and thumbs up–especially when we know how far one of our knitters has come to be able to turn a finished hat in for its trip to El Camino Hospital.

Funny time —

I know just how ugly I are,
There are others more handsome by far.
But me, I don’t mind it
Because I’m behind it.
It’s the people in front that I jar.

Amazing isn’t it, that knitting & life are so much alike? If you can step out of your own way, the road is much easier to travel;)

Oh, when will we be able to embiggen again?! Beautiful color! Don, looks like you’ve got plans for Mondays at 3pm.

When I worked as a cardiologist’s nurse, he was insistent that I address each patient with the proper honorific: Mr., Mrs., Miss…but some of those names just didn’t give me enough clues. Some gave me the giggles, like the patient whose first name was Queen. That would be Mrs. Queen, thank you very much.

OOOOhh, I love the scarf pattern and color!
Love the little flowers.

Mispronunciation might be an indicator that all study some, but some don’t study all. 😉

I’m singing along, believe you me! 🙂

The scarf is gorgeous. The colorway is breathtaking!

That post made me chuckle. I wouldn’t think YOUR last name would be mispronounced, but then again, I thought my new married name wouldn’t need to be spelled constantly either. Hem, hem…

Love that color, and I think I generally do love the yarn I’m with. (Don’t most of my FO reports have fickle me in love?)

For me, the song sometimes becomes, “If I’m not with the yarn I love, I love the yarn I’m with.”
[With apologies to the lyricist of “Finian’s Rainbow.”]

I was going to post some funny pun about the Crosby Stills Nash and Young song but I got nothing.

I went to the doctor with my husband Jim. McArthur once. The nurse called out a name that sounded very like that to me. However, another man answered. I asked “What was the name you called?” Her reply was, I called for this gentleman here! She snapped those words out, dismissing me utterly. Only then she had to come out and get us. The other guy was not Jim McArthur.
