| What American accent do you have?
Your Result: Philadelphia
Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you’re not from Philadelphia, then you’re from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you’ve ever journeyed to some far off place where people don’t know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn’t have a clue what accent it was they heard. |

[thanks Maryse!]
I grew up in the Philly suburbs. I went to college in PA. However I have reached the tipping point age where I have spent exactly half of my life not living “at home” anymore. I figured I didn’t have that accent – I wondered if I ever did. Nowadays when I talk to friends living in that area, or listen to someone on the radio or television I can hear that accent. I thought for sure that meant I didn’t have one anymore …… this makes me oddly happy!
maybe I’m just relieved I don’t tawk like a New Yawker.
Jen is arriving tomorrow for a day of divinity. This is a fudge like candy that is typically made around the holidays. After hearing about my marshmallow recipe, she suggested we try divinity – perhaps it is the next step in my candy making education.
So, why panic? Jen is a lovely, reasonable woman. She is smart. She is funny. She knits.
It sounds like an ideal day doesn’t it – what’s the problem?
Have you read her site? Do you get that she is a gourmet cook?
I am going to make us lunch.
I’m sweating already.
thank you so much for your Kimono Shawl compliments! The pattern was fairly easy and it would make a good intro to lace project. The only drawback is the length involved and how tedious that becomes …… which many would say is a factor in any lace project.
I have started another project which I have neither mentioned here on ye olde blogge nor have I photographed. Along with fellow knitters Ricki and Peggy, I am knitting a sampler using The Sweater Workshop by Jacqueline Fee. To be honest, I didn’t anticipate getting all that much from this book — boy was I ever wrong! I would highly recommend to every knitter that they knit up one of these samplers. There is always something to learn it seems!
I have six more rows to finish Icarus. There are now 483 stitches on the needles.
So close I can almost feel it wrapped around my shoulders ….. so far that it may never get done. It shimmers like a mirage on my horizon.
