I just don't despite my so loving handknit things, such as this scarf you made. I always admire the knitting shown at Purl Bee. <br /><br />I laughed at your notion of taking a simple idea and making it complicated. I have a knack for that, too! I tell myself I'll "stick to the plan" next time but I usually end up making things difficult again. Sigh.<br /><br />I've had a cold since boxing day. Only today do I feel like I might be cold-free any day now! It's been a nasty hanger-onner. I hope you're over yours sooner than later.

But then maybe that--along with exposure to all sorts of nasty viruses--comes with being a teacher (ahem, I'm one too). Our school sent out this link to a YouTube video about how to deal with the upcoming plagues and hordes of sneezy-coughy people. One of my friends told me that HER friend bakes all the papers she receives so as to eliminate germs. I, too, carry Purell and use it right after class, PLUS go and wash my hands a lot. I'm hoping I avoid a bad cold this next few months--I'll hope that for you, too! <br /><br />Fabulous finishes, all. I love the bag. Really really love it, esp the fabrics. I need to make about 400 bags if I want to use up all those fabrics that I bought because "they'd make a nice tote bag." Better get going on it!<br /><br />Elizabeth OPQuilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08622702911207665333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737278453665903248.post-80867753818557142422013-01-12T09:31:47.321-06:002013-01-12T09:31:47.321-06:00colds are definately not nice at all, that's w...colds are definately not nice at all, that's why I don't let anyone under 18 in my house (actually no one of that age comes here anyway - no grandkids for me) and really you should consider a flu shot...

But I work at a grocery story - Safeway - which does this Score and Win game through the season and in cities with a hockey team, every time that team scores a goal, a name gets drawn to win a prize. ANYWAY, it generates a lot of work for me because we have to use special paper and signs and blah blah blah. I thought we'd escaped this year! But no dice. <br /><br />Kristel (from the Simply Solid Bee)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
