You just had to translate that chart into some crazy set of numbers that would make the rest of our minds spin. I still like my little index card lace books...<br><br>And about boys wanting to be in bands...yes. I remember when H and his buddies were first talking about starting a band. They were discussing what they'd wear, and they hadn't even learned to play their instruments yet! When I ran this by Chris, he just got a knowing smile on his face and said, "You'd be surprised how many bands start that way."patriciahttp://www.patriciazaballos.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-53891770167369146192008-10-22T15:50:00.000-07:002008-10-22T15:50:00.000-07:00I like the garden border arches idea.

Even if the vines don't make it through the rainy season to fruit, it will look good.Esperanzahttp://pluckandfeather.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-4404895077895654822008-10-22T09:48:00.000-07:002008-10-22T09:48:00.000-07:00I love the bonus plants...it's like a reward f...I love the bonus plants...it's like a reward for your awesome gardening.<br><br>See, I can't knit from charts, either, but I'm much more pedestrian about it than you and suzee. I just write out each row on a notecard and go from notecard to notecard. I clearly have no imagination.allisonmariecathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00211696859124273031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-31270741718960491192008-10-21T20:56:00.000-07:002008-10-21T20:56:00.000-07:00So glad you had fun!

And so glad I didn't indulge, I'm now with head cold on top of the schedule problems, so it would've been a cranky night.<br><br>YES! about the knitting. That's how I work charts, too, except that I give each one of the little blocks a name rather than a number, then set the pattern up in my head like a poem, with the names.<br><br>I hate charts, themselves. I like the challenge of charted knitting, though.suzeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08956210633986974375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-77686429925517694802008-10-21T16:38:00.000-07:002008-10-21T16:38:00.000-07:00The rogue pumpkins make me smile.

I don't need to be in a garden to grow!"<br><br>Another trip to the Fillmore in one week - fancy you. :)Amysassydoesit.comnoreply@blogger.com
