things that make me go hmmm….

When the girls were little I bought them some fanciful bubble making wands. I thought they were a terrific idea – so simple, yet so clever.

When we got them home and had our soap solution all set up, I was astounded (and disappointed) that the bubbles produced were standard issue. The wands were in all sorts of shapes – stars, hearts etc. – but the bubbles were plain spheres. I honestly expected the bubbles to take the shape of the wand! I am still a bit surprised that they don’t! The Boar thought this was hysterical, and couldn’t believe the depths of my simplemindedness. He launched into the explanation for why this is — something I understood at the time of hearing, but cannot remember now.

Such are my impressions of knitting on dpns. I am making a pair of mittens (what an ordeal this has been — have had to rip out three times). Knitting on three needles would lead one to think that the fabric would come out in a triangular shape — but no! it’s circular! hmmm…..

After a rainy start, it is now snowing here. I found this website which makes for some interesting reading.

My 30 day free trial with Typepad has come and gone. I have enjoyed keeping this blog more than I expected to and am planning to keep at it. I hope you are enjoying reading it! It is a work in progress. Some of the blogs that I read do not post on the weekends, they are strictly M-F affairs. Others post whenever the mood hits, with no clear pattern. Everyone has their own method. Like everything else in life, there is more than one approach and that is what keeps things interesting. I am planning to keep the emphasis on knitting — I am finding that it is keeping me more on track and productive. Since I have started this little website I have made – 3 hats, 2 scarves and some other things that are slipping my mind at the moment. this is happening more and more often :) Perhaps I should consider upgrading my Typepad account to include a photo album capability. You could see pictures of these projects and it would leave me free to completely lose my mind!!
