Does anyone remember, who was it........
Comments (4)I thought it might have been Patrick, but I wasn't sure. And Robert, you could be correct. It may have been Awakening. In fact it was while I was pruning Awakening yesterday that I remembered it. I tried to search for it, but couldn't find it. It's a classic tale that I'm sure newcomers would enjoy.

Comments (10)Maybee - I'm not certain if you are looking for the instructions on how to make the board (size of nail, spacing, etc.) or how to do the knitting with only one line of pegs. Here are the instructions on how to actually wrap the yarn and do the 'knitting' for a single line of pegs: Instructions for the Single Stitch for Flat Knitting Begin by wrapping all the pegs in a clock-wise direction, starting on the left side of the loom and moving to right. At the end of the first row, you wrap the last peg twice in a clock-wise direction, so that it will have two loops on it, then change directions and wrap the next peg in a counter clock- wise direction. Continue wrapping the pegs in a counter clock-wise direction until you reach the left side of the loom. Next, pull the bottom loop over the top loop of each peg, starting with the last peg that you wrapped to lock the loose end of the yarn in place. For the second row, wrap all of the pegs in a clock-wise direction, moving from the left side of the loom, toward the right, the same as with the first row. Lift the bottom loop over the top loop of each peg. You are now on the far right peg. Wrap it and all of the other pegs in the row in a counter clock-wise direction until you reach the left side of the loom. The above was copied from the site linked below...

Comments (4)No, It was here- I never go to the Garden Party. I remember it was the same forum as "cat threw up in the washing machine". As I remember the owner was concerned because she was expecting company and the remains of the elk were still on the lawn and the dogs were still eating it. I think the thread must have dropped off....See MoreDid You Tell Your Children Stories About Your Life?
Comments (30)As a southerner we have a history of telling stories and it was very much a part of my upbringing though trying to fit all those tales into some sort of coherent history is another matter. We practiced our own history with my mother starting "remember whens" My mother was a spoiled only child and most of her stories were about how special she was to her doting father. My father did not talk much about his childhood though I know they moved frequently as my grandfather was a mason and builder. I spent a good deal of time with my mothers step-mother-my Grannie- and learned as much about her life as I could. She was a child of the depression-something that for her on a prosperous farm in the south was just something they heard about happening elsewhere. Grow your own food and make your own clothes and you only need money for taxes and coffee and salt. I loved hearing about her life. she was one of a big family of girls and they had to work like boys. Their father did not want them to leave home so for each of them it was an adventure to leave. I don't have children and have always lived all the way across the country from my kin so I have had no one to pass on what I know nor about my own life but there you are. I love social history and yet historians will use the lives of the rich and famous thinking they are telling you how people lived in the past-the one tenth of the one percent....See More- 9 years ago
