 Alert | Ruby, WHAT??? You finished three more? I couldn't even get past row 6. I got stuck and I've been there ever since. //grumble
Chris, if it makes you feel any better, the sweater itself looks beautiful so far! Now hurry, two more weeks......
Also, I took your crochet hook with me by mistake. I'm going to drop it off along with that book before I leave. Maybe I'll bring the pineapple material with me... | |

Alert | I came home and my husband was watching football, so I sat down and crocheted. It was much quicker the next 3 times. I just need a little help with the last 2 rows. Hopefully, Chris, you can help me on Saturday.

Alert | No problem, Ruby. I'm so proud of you!
Jenny, remember I work full-time now. So, drop by after 4:30 or just leave it in a bag by the front door. | |

Alert | | Ditto what Monica and Ruby said. Unfortunately, I won't be able to be there on Sat., 8/25. It's my sister-in-law's birthday party that day. I did get the sweater all finished. I'm still not thrilled with the way it looks on me. I sure hope it fits her, because it's going to be a cold day in July before I tackle that thing again! Now, I've got to get going on an afghan for my nephew-to-be who is due around Dec. 7th. | |

Alert | | I spoke to Denise last night. She's probably not going to be attending on Saturday either. I told her she could go without me, but she didn't seem to want to do that. | |

Alert | As far as I know, I will be there on Sat. Monica, did you get you stitch picked up? If you want, I can come over for a few minutes to show you how. It's really not too hard. My husband is playing golf today. Chris, glad you got the sweater done. I started making a Pooh stuff animal, and have gotten stuck. Since Chris, you aren't going to be there Sat., maybe Jenny or some of the other ladies can help me out.

Alert | | Oh, I'm so sorry I can't help you, Ruby. Sure hope someone else can. But if no one can, email me, and maybe we can get together on Sunday and figure it out. | |

Alert | I'm planning on attending on Saturday BUT.....my husband just told me that he has to attend meetings in the morning so I have to ask the boys if they would be willing to babysit for me.
Chris, please tell Denise that I would be happy to pick her up and drop her off if that would help.
I forgot how scary some people are to drive with in NY. I almost finished that blanket from pure fear, crocheting madly sitting in the back with the baby as an excuse, while saying a rosary I didn't know I remembered..... | |
