Comments on: Resolutions for 2007 http://www.knitsisters.com/2007/01/01/resolutions/ Watch out. We've got sharp sticks. Fri, 21 Nov 2008 23:08:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.3 by: Deb http://www.knitsisters.com/2007/01/01/resolutions/#comment-2976 Fri, 19 Jan 2007 13:15:03 +0000 http://www.knitsisters.com/2007/01/01/resolutions/#comment-2976 HI Girls, Somehow I stumbled upon your blog in an attempt to find something else on the web.. and being of the "side track" nature I read and totally enjoyed your resolutions .. and am sure that if you stand by them all there has to be some sort of reward at the end of that rainbow or at least a mention in the "knitting who's who" list, under Amazing !!. Having been a knitter (aka: fiber-holic) as long as I can remember I can attest to a closet (and the better part of a room) full of yarn stash and half finished/ just started "old friends" that will long outlive most of us. I have a dear frend who is in her 80's that says we can not leave this place until we use up our stash and finish our projects .. so I keep shopping and starting things ... will check back from time to time to read your and further enjoy your blog .. All the Best Deb Handmadeinthehills.com HI Girls,

You're already perfect, my friend. Why should you drop a dress size when Alex loves you the way you are? You’re already perfect, my friend.

But when New Englanders say it in English, trust me, it's a cliché. But I do agree that proverbs are good things and not to be expunged. And let me reassure you: I'll only drop a dress size if I contract tuberculosis. But more seriously, I'm sorry to hear about your friend and her brother. How terrible for her to have such a tragedy happen...any time, but especially before her wedding. Kimberly, we'll be waiting for those resolutions... Helen, it’s a proverb if you say it in French.

Kimberly, we’ll be waiting for those resolutions…

It's OK to use them. And please don't drop a dress size for your wedding: I made a wedding dress for a friend once and her brother died in a hang-gliding accident a few weeks before the wedding: every time we had a fitting she was a bit thinner. It was dreadful. Eat well and look radiant. Happy New Year, too. I don’t think ‘Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose’ is a cliché; I think it’s a proverb. It’s OK to use them.

I do, too. Those cables seem right for the yarn and I like the little constrasting edge. (You may have noticed that I tend to be drawn toward that particular detail...). About those singleton items: I think it is not so bad when you consider how many pairs of socks and gloves I HAVE finished. And I swear there was a genuine reason for each abandoned project. Well, except for the blue gloves. Glad you liked the swatch, Sarah. I do, too. Those cables seem right for the yarn and I like the little constrasting edge.

The Malabrigo swatch looks gorgeous. Ah, the siren call of a new project... I am feeling it myself. My goodness, I had no idea that you had succumbed to second sock/glove syndrome in such a fashion!
