If I had a question, my teacher can look over my work and tell me exactly what I did wrong. Also knittinghelp.com is a lifesaver! Good luck!Christiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813753431775447998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839383598213046632.post-50314088359554769342009-01-19T16:01:00.000-08:002009-01-19T16:01:00.000-08:00Wonderful you.

But I do totally get the BEING with the little ones and not just being with them.

I've already gotten screamed at for ordering McDonald's french fries by my mother when I was on the phone with ehr, because I resolved to give up fast food. I should have said, except for when I'm having hormonal cravings for salt. But, I find the trick is, not to go overboard. Don't buy EVERYTHING you need for a new hobby; buy the bare minimum you need, and then, as you get better, or expand your talent, you can reward yourself by building your stores of supplies.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029286729348004956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839383598213046632.post-38539273584381404922009-01-16T12:07:00.000-08:002009-01-16T12:07:00.000-08:00great to read your post, your words always bring a...great to read your post, your words always bring a smile to my face. i'd say your doing pretty well on the rest of your resolutions; your a great mama, and incredible wife and a wonderful best friend. you can do anything you set your mind to, im sure the knitting will happen, if not, I hear yarn tossing is making a comeback. besides I need that hat you promised to knit for me...my poor head in this cold weather.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839383598213046632.post-23657116545561708032009-01-16T10:25:00.000-08:002009-01-16T10:25:00.000-08:00An ideal post about resolutions.

And while I'm not ambitious enough to try to teach myself to knit, I am harboring a resolution or two of my own. But I think I'll take Sus's advice and tell no one what they are. I just hate disappointing people.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702133587034630956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839383598213046632.post-34806372839305029812009-01-16T06:38:00.000-08:002009-01-16T06:38:00.000-08:00Thanks for the comment on my blog!

I see you're a Soulemama fan as well; that is one inspiring mama! My hubby bought me Apples for Jam for Christmas because he heard me rave about it every time she mentioned it. It is, of course, as fabulous as she said, which means I'll be now needing every cookbook she's blogged about. :)Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17002360993206729015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839383598213046632.post-89490834545274933812009-01-15T20:03:00.000-08:002009-01-15T20:03:00.000-08:00i hope your kids are better. i can be glad the fl...i hope your kids are better. i can be glad the flu hasn't visited us. that rap is high-larious!<BR/><BR/>i just learned to knit last friday, but screwed up and don't know how to fix it w/o tearing it out. and i refuse to do that since i have 7 or 8 rows. i love your yarn.<BR/><BR/>i stay stick with one craft to start. i have a tendency to try to do it all and kill myself in the process. enjoy it!<BR/><BR/>and, oy vey! 5 teeth?!?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839383598213046632.post-44209872478208642492009-01-15T18:55:00.000-08:002009-01-15T18:55:00.000-08:00Nothing like a promise of a link to ME to get me t...Nothing like a promise of a link to ME to get me to click over. Sorry, Kate, I was busy meditating and never checked your post last week. Just kidding, I'm just a loser. See, here's the trick to NY's Resolutions: Pick ONE. Set your expectations very, very low. (Are you kidding? Learn a new SKILL? No, no, NO.) Tell No One You Know about said resolution, unless you have nothing else to blog about. Definitely don't tell your husband Or mother. But you can tell me of course because I will support you and bring you cyber wine and say What the Hell You are Too Good for Knitting, Kate! And life will go on, in a resolved sort of way.Sushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00706761082755643183noreply@blogger.com
