That's going to be a lovely cardigan when you've finished.<br /><br />People need to STOP TALKING about this Downton Abbey because I can't watch it and I am desperate to! I am hoping the DVD will be coming my way for Christmas!<br /><br />I need to read more Elizabeth Taylor - I have all her books at home but have been rationing them. When I return to the UK next year I'll gorge myself! Then read the biography, as her life intrigues me. Seemingly ordinary but lots going on under the surface, I suspect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035650454978982433.post-76897060655171854822010-11-11T07:40:28.334-05:002010-11-11T07:40:28.334-05:00Kristina, Will do!

If some wet behind the ears young lady of 22 can finish this sweater then I will die before I give up, hahaha!<br /><br />As for Downton Abbey...I agree completely!!<br /><br />verity, You've had me missing a couple of cross-stitch projects that I abandoned a couple of years ago. Stitch all you can, Verity, before you need bifocals!<br /><br />JoAnn, Oh I do miss seeing Zelda! Please post a photo of her again sometime soon!<br /><br />As for the knitting, thanks for your vote of confidence. <br /><br />Stacy, I think spending time just gazing out of your window is lovely in a world that spins too fast. Because we feed our little hairy friends they press their noses up against our window!<br /><br />Susan, I've sent you an email.Darlenehttp://www.rosesoveracottagedoor.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035650454978982433.post-69295604117893557912010-11-10T10:29:29.261-05:002010-11-10T10:29:29.261-05:00Downton Abbey?

I have often marveled at your beautiful stitch work and I have no doubt this will be another to admire:) I have only read one by Taylor (which I really enjoyed)but hope to remedy that soon. I can easily understand Deacon's thing about squirrels...I have found myself watching those silly things play about in the back and then kick myself after realizing twenty minutes passed in a flash.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12387313238448432017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035650454978982433.post-31314021959870789492010-11-10T07:56:05.608-05:002010-11-10T07:56:05.608-05:00"18 rows of hell" - LOL!

I mean, surely it was only 2 weeks ago they announced that there'd be a second series - imagine if that had been the actual end! I watched it on ITV player a bit later that night and it was telling me that there was a 1hr episode, but then a 30 minute one afterwards. So I watched the 1 hr episode, made myself a cup of tea, and came back to watch the next 30 minutes. It was only THEN i realised that the end of the previous hour had, in fact, been The End. AGH!!!<br /><br />Happy knitting, your cardigan looks really lovely :) I once went to a knitting group where a girl was wearing one and it was so, so lovely.janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11446887350355708285noreply@blogger.com
