I can see your dilemma now. :) haven't crocheted a stitch in a week. I got really frustrated. Everytime I would do about three rows it wouldn't "look" right, so I would "frog" it and start those rows over.

Atleast after I frog two or three rows when I see a mistake, I can "re-do" the stitches. I don't imagine you can do that with wood! Kind of hard to turn sawdust into wood again. >< AM>> over there???? Yeah the one by the kitchen sink. Grab AM>> yourself a glass of water, and somebody will "help you out"! AM>> < GH>> Ouch!

My sysop up North has had health problems, so the company put him on a different job that requires him to work longer hours [ figure that???] and he has been very unresponsive for weeks at a time. It is somewhat doubtful that we will get internet when we get up there. Desision is still up in the air. What are you 'sewing with Nancy?'. Sounds like it might be a quilt. AS you probably know, sewing machines hate me so i avoid them when i can. Right now [soon] i won't be able to avoid them, i have game carriers to make [lots] before the middle of next month. We have a big event coming up, Gulf Wars.

Yeah - I read another msg & figgered that out! :} ->I asked for a 12.5" star, Got it - maybe I'll try another Mariner's Compass - in red, ya think? :) Hope I have enough reds... -> I think he is really starting to value my work - quilting work that -> is. Luckily, Mike has always appreciated my sewing passion - I think mostly cuz I saved us so much $$$ in kids' clothes! But he has come to appreciate the time I spend making quilty things, too. Every time I make a block that he likes, he asks why I don't make a quilt of "that" for us. Do you realize how many quilts that would be by now???!! I did recently finish my crazy quilt, the one I started late last spring. After using just the quilt top for covering up during naps, I decided that it was time to back it, tie it & let everyone use it. That was a mistake! As soon as I brought it downstairs, Mike appropriated it! He's always complained that the quilt I made him in '96 was too small. He likes the razy quilt better - it's a little bigger! -> I think Pat either won the MQBE or knows who did. Got that info, too, by reading further. -> BTW, I would love to have a block from you for the QBE. Count on it! AAMOF, I do have time this week before the wedding dress arrives (Mike's neice has asked me to alter it for her - hope I'm up to this!) I want to finish Irene's vest, a pattern I've made countless times - & still make the same mistake on every time I make it! - & then I'm digging into my stash. BTW, is S&Q still around? I looked for it on Neverending t'other night but couldn't find it. I wanted to know who was the Feb. winner for the CMQBE.

Anne will keep an eye on things and assist me as needed. Usually this echo runs just fine without any nasties from the moderator, but sometimes someone tries to slip one in on us or says something that upsets another. That is where Anne and I come in.
