The field behind our house appears to be growing squash this year. Too bad for the farmer. We'd often go out and pick 4 fresh ears for dinner and leave him the money on his tractor - pd him the going farm stand retail price, so he was making out quite nicely. I'm the only squash eater, so his profits will be down a bit this year.<BR/><BR/>Hi Deb, Gramma Phyllis! Thanks for your comments.<BR/><BR/>Hi Jeanie - glad you found the podcast and the blog. I am truly loving Fixation, which is wacky to most knitters, but then again, I tend to march to my own beat. I'll check on the white tomorrow and post/email you with an update.<BR/><BR/>Hi Cara - great to hear from you!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230532451363979533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240165124569883356.post-1227699031135489312007-07-08T03:58:00.000-05:002007-07-08T03:58:00.000-05:00Hi Kathy! I'm a new listener of your podcast and ...Hi Kathy! I'm a new listener of your podcast and came to check out your blog. Congrats on your new sock knitting!!! Aren't socks just "da bomb"??? It's funny that you should be using Fixation for your sock because as I sat here listening to several episodes of your podcast tonight, I was working on (you guessed it) a sock made from Fixation as well! Also, when you asked the question (of Melissa, I think) in one of your episodes, "do I really have to use that teenie tiny yarn to knit socks", I was thinking that you might want to try Fixation because it's somewhat thicker than normal sock yarn. I do have to say though that working with Fixation is a little tricky so kudos to you for using Fixation for your first pair (and second pair) of socks! <BR/><BR/>BTW, before I forget, I'm needing about 8 skeins of white Fixation to knit Fifi (by French Girl Knits). Your website's said that you have only 4 skeins in stock for a while now -- any idea when y'all may be getting more of the white in? I'm going to sub the Fixation for Rowan's Calmer for Fifi and would like to get started fairly soon.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, keep up the wonderful work on your podcast (yours is now one of my favorites) and keep up the great work on your socks. As you can see, they're totally addicting and you have now crossed over to the dark side ;-) Welcome!<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/><BR/>Jeanie<BR/>www.SexyKnittersClub.com<BR/>www.CrochetCast.comJeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13545743613685477589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240165124569883356.post-44089671127335461272007-07-07T21:09:00.000-05:002007-07-07T21:09:00.000-05:00Knee high by the 4th of July.

Our con here in the Finger Lakes is running about 2 weeks behind because we haven't had much rain,except forthe Fourth!Gramma Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559597396031093059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240165124569883356.post-65708460408487321462007-07-07T07:58:00.000-05:002007-07-07T07:58:00.000-05:00Knee High by the 4th of July is a very familiar li...Knee High by the 4th of July is a very familiar line in my household - don't really know why since the only farmer in my life is my husband who tended dairy cows before we were married thirty years ago. Maybe it's an old New England saying since my mom (who would be 83 now) used it every time we passed a corn field that had been just planted - "Gee, that corn's slow, should be knee high by the 4th of the July.)Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06420035725875000489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240165124569883356.post-58458707186571397382007-07-06T22:57:00.000-05:002007-07-06T22:57:00.000-05:00Happy Fourth!
