Friday Funnies ..

It’s that time of the week again … and I have a few more jokes for you. And an update that’s pretty funny as well … A man and his wife were sitting in church, the man was sleeping and his wife was knitting. The priest asked “Who created the Earth and man?” The woman poked the man with her knitting needle and the man screamed, “GOD!” The Priest looked at him and said, “That’s right.” Then he asked “Who is God’s son?” Once more the woman poked her husband with the needle, he woke up and screamed, “Jesus […]

Eureka!

As promised, I have a pattern for a cable braid of 12 strands. Better than that though, I have worked out several mathematical relationships between the number of strands, number of stitches, number of rows, and even the number of extra purl stitches needed to account for the edge strands. I also made another discovery that is really exciting. If you have a 16 strand braid for example, it will also include all the other braids before it (14, 12, 10, etc) , it inside it. You have to be careful though, as you have to also account for […]

And the Golden Knot goes to …

Well, another night of Oscar has come and gone and with it a few surprises. Congrats to Katherine Bigelow for being the first female director to take home the Oscar and to everyone else that won and/or was nominated. Yes, my accolades to the Academy is a bit brief, kinda like the show itself. Is it just me, or does it seem to suffer a bit with them shortening the nominations in order to get a show under 3.5hours? I mean, if they want to shorten it, why don’t they ditch those stupid speeches for best Actress/Actor (although I […]

Twists and turns …

Wow, it’s been a crazy couple of days for me and the lack of a post in that time reflects it. I’m sorry for not having one in my drafts for those of you that check here daily. I will try and make sure that doesn’t happen again. In the meantime, I’ve been actually work very hard those days. I was on the set of V on Wednesday and Smallville yesterday. Both days turned out to be about 14 hours and I found when I got home I ended up just flopping into bed to get some much needed […]

Funny Monday …

You know how Mondays are looked upon as the worst day of the week? Well, I thought I would put a little cheer into your Monday with some knitting jokes. If you’re reading this on Tuesday, I can’t promise that it’ll cheer you up as much, but the jokes should be just as funny. I promise I’ll get back to the serious (kinda) stuff tomorrow … Did you hear the one about the woman on her death bed. For years her husband had been discouraged from touching or opening the shoe box she kept on the top shelf of […]
