Commonly applied here to people who constantly complain about the Australian weather, insects, or for that matter anything else Australian! <br />As in "Jeez, what a whinger..."Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374783908598391491.post-83107157044643720022011-02-26T02:48:23.430+08:002011-02-26T02:48:23.430+08:00Your feet will be thanking you in a few months.

I've got a pair that have been in my UFO knitting (population: socks), so you're inspiring me to FINISH my pair! I put them away four years ago (cough, cough) after stabbing myself under the fingernails one too many times. Those wee DPNs are sharp!<br /><br />I've been busy with my cousin's wedding planning. I'm making her wedding hat by hand and it's taking MUCH longer than I thought it would. (grumble, grumble)<br /><br />Hope that Threads glove pattern helps you. The fingers were SUPER long, so be on the watch there.<br /><br />BTW: LOVE that cat sculpture! You got the "creative whammy" from all sides of the family tree! You have no choice BUT to create!Darcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936847220360997738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374783908598391491.post-64794701167228164372011-02-25T10:22:30.910+08:002011-02-25T10:22:30.910+08:00Oooh, the colors!

And in Dallas or Sherman, (we used to live between the two) average low is 71 and 74 in july in August- and ave high 94... I wish!! wish those climate people would send some of those actual temps when the news is reporting 66 consecutive days over 100 degrees (not here, but it happened in Dallas) (But here we had quite a summer a couple of years ago with temps approaching 110 quite a few days) ... so, yeah, whatever google says must be right, but that's not what the thermometer at my house says. We have been in drought conditions tho for a couple of years. I'm hoping those averages really are true because then we are due for a nice cool summer! We sure do have alot of variation in the winter, so here's hoping.<br /><br />Hmm, I'm wondering how handknit socks would stand up to athletic endeavors?

Someone left a link to an actual pattern off the Threads website on one of Laurianna's posts, too, which I'm sure you'll find easily.<br /><br />To embed a link you use the html tag for it: < a href=" http://www.linkhere.au ">ClICK HERE< /a> it's a bit cumbersome to type but is nice in the end. Of course I put a bunch of spaces in there that don't belong so it would show up as text, not a link; in reality the only spaces in the tag (between the < and >s) would be the one between a and href.
