April 28th, Lost my Grand Baby/Child
Comments (4)I'm so sorry. Numbness is similar to shock; it's the body's/mind's/heart's way of shielding us from unbearable pain. Eventually the numbness will wear off. There was a line in The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran (sp?) that said something like "We drink our joy from the cup carved by our sorrow." I've always found that a beautiful & comforting thought. Bless you for taking care of that little one, & take care of yourself. You have a wonderful heart, & you're still here for a reason. Take care of yourself....See Morewent to a child's funeral today
Comments (19)I was in Eau Claire when that storm hit and it was no where near as bad as in Burnett County. My surgeon and his wife were on a motorcycle trying to beat the storm home and a tree fell on them. They survived with minimal damage to either other than some horrible road rash. They are doing counseling at work for the people involved in the little girls case as it was very disturbing and sad. My heart goes out to you and to her family....See Morelooking for a simple first time knitting baby blanket pattern
Comments (36)Loralee asked, "What size of needles would you suggest to use?" I wrote, above, "... worsted weight yarn with a gauge of 5 stitches per inch / 7.5 rows per inch ..." It is impossible for me to recommend one needle size. The yarn requirement given by the knitting calculator is the yardage needed if the knitting has a gauge of 5 stitches per inch (horizontal) and 7.5 rows per inch (vertical). That's why knitting a gauge swatch is important. The most commonly used needle sizes with worsted weight yarn are (U.S.) sizes 7, 8, and 9. If a swatch is knitted and the gauge turns out to be more or fewer stitches per inch / rows per inch, then a new swatch should be knitted using a larger or smaller needle. Some folks knit rather tightly and would end up with more stitches per inch so they would need to use a larger needle. Other folks knit very loosely, and end up with fewer stitches per inch, so they'd need to use a smaller needle. Matching the gauge is very important if you want the finished item to be the size called for in the pattern. An example would be if you are knitting a sweater. Many baby blanket patterns will say that gauge doesn't matter because "it's just a blanket." While that is fairly true, if you are a tight knitter you will end up with a blanket that is a smaller than you intended....See MoreChild's First Veggie Garden Help!
Comments (10)1, plants need to be alowed to have the roots get some air so the soil only needs to be moist not soaked. 2, they may need some nitrogen so but since the plants are young start with 1/4 or 1/2 strength and see how they react. 3, the red strawberry stems are fine (Strawberries are practically weeds, I have had them for about 10 years now and don't do anything to help them and they dont die). 4, the more light the better so make sure they are getting good light.
