I was reading a needlework magazine. I would be looking at photos of the projects but not everything in the photo was a project in the magazine even though they could be. I wanted to know how to do that tablecloth or how to do something else in the picture. It got on my nerves. Now I don’t need to know how to do everything in the picture and it doesn’t bother me anymore. I have lots of magazines and books that can at least give me a clue on how to do what they didn’t tell you how to do.
My paternal grandmother had 9 children that survived so I had 18 aunts and uncles on that side. They all had lots of kids around 5 each, some less. So I had about 40 or so cousins. Anyway they had babies and my mom would knit or crochet the baby something. In the early 1960’s she knitted a bunch of baby ponchos in white pink and blue. This is what the poncho looked like.
Baby Poncho
I hear a bunch of awwws and precious. I don’t have this pattern so I can’t knit one for you :( . I found it on the Internet. If you want to do a search it is a Columbia Minerva pattern from 1963 or in the 60’s anyway and the book/leaflet number is #2523.
As you can see it had mitts and booties but mom didn’t do those, just the poncho. So, years later at a family reunion I was approached by my Aunt Zippy wanting to know if I could repair her poncho. I asked to look at it as I didn’t know. So she brought it out and I was able to fix it.
I have been very busy applying to jobs and going through boxes and throwing stuff out. Yeah I thought I threw it all out when I packed but I guess not.
Soupy Sales is dead bummer man so sorry to hear that. Local Detroit, Michigan comedian but well-known throughout the US.
I have stopped looking for work. I have been very busy. Earlier this week I got my once a month phone call for a job interview and I accepted it and made an appointment but later decided to call the dude up and cancel. I applied to the job like four weeks ago. Why interview this much later. In this economy surely they would have found someone right away.
I haven’t left the house in like two weeks or so until two days ago. Haven’t gotten dressed either, no need to, doing what I am doing. The only reason I need to leave the house is for groceries, gas and to mail the rent check.
I was so busy I forgot to vote. Ok now that you have all fainted, here is some smelling salts.
The economy was supposed to pick up this summer but so far it doesn’t look like it has. Matter of fact, it still looks like it is still on its way down. I hear rumors of people wanting to vote out all incumbents. People are mad as hell and aren’t going to take it any more.
