I now only knit things that don't have to fit. (felted bags, and a Christmas stocking every other year or so)<br /><br />I married the nerd and he loves Modern Family too.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399324383367077919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-87598129878079623762011-01-18T21:15:44.702-08:002011-01-18T21:15:44.702-08:00I haven't been brave enough to watch a Mike Le...I haven't been brave enough to watch a Mike Leigh film for years, a may give this one a go.emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04195918097785592926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-10904178085225179922011-01-18T19:02:49.697-08:002011-01-18T19:02:49.697-08:00I love this post!

My first boyfriend...a surfer...was at my mini reunion this weekend and he's had two knee replacements and one hip replacement. Maybe I'm happy I never caught the wave. Since I took John Denver's advice about a year and 1/2 ago and blew up my tv I haven't been able to see Modern Family but loved it when I did watch it. Cameron was my fave also. The rest of the post made me laugh.

My first (and pretty much my last) was after college while working at The Pentagon (needed some stress relief). I made a lovely pull-over sweater for myself out of the finest of wools. It was an intricate pattern but I mastered it with a surprising amount of skill. When I finished, it wouldn't go over my head!!!!! In fact, it would have had to go over a newborn's head and remain on it's body until it grew into it--around age twenty or so.<br /><br />Best,<br />BonnieFrom the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789641912016566894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-492727078989663292011-01-18T10:25:14.018-08:002011-01-18T10:25:14.018-08:00good list! my friends are obsessed with Modern Fam...good list! my friends are obsessed with Modern Family ... i've watched it twice and think it's funny although i don't yet get why people love it so much. <br /><br />i'm writing your interest in surfing down on my mental 'Elizabeth' board! :)Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699674732274478502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-45317947131396385262011-01-18T10:14:15.874-08:002011-01-18T10:14:15.874-08:00Oh, my!

I had forgotten. <br /><br />I gave away all of my knitting supplies to my sil about 5 years ago in a purge of guilt inducing bags and bins. <br />I regret it sometimes.
