Benne,
If it`s at all possible, could you send me (again) the line by line instructions for the B&B sweater? My computer crashed Sunday afternoon, and I lost all my documents (and pictures and programs and...well, everything). I`m finally back up and running, but in a much diminished state. (I promise not to talk about having to calculate all the grades for my students by hand, since my gradebook on my computer disappeared, too <sigh>) Anyway, report cards are done and turned in, and my computer is at least among the living, so I want to start working on the B&B again, but using the chart doesn`t thrill me. You can, if you want, email me at Lee81152ATaolDOTcom.

Done, Christine. What a bummer! Wish I could have sent your gradebook too. :-}

Dear Benne,
Any chance you would have a minute or two to send over the written out chart you made for the B&B? I`m knitting very slowly as I follow the chart!
Thanks,
Bri

Bri,
I started the B&B trying to read the chart and REALLY got confused (I forgot to read one row from the right and the next one from the LEFT). I made a lovely mess of things, lol. I too have to use the written out chart. Benne is wonderful isn`t she??

Done, Bri. Even with my color coding, I keep forgetting which symbol is which. It`s that short attention span thing, Denise. Don`t ask me to remember more than two things at a time. ;-}

Benne,
I`m the same way....I have to make lists...and then I either lose my list or leave them sitting on my desk.

Denise and Benne,
I know what you both mean. The later it gets in the semester, the more to remember. I just my knitting to be easy- but also to be correct.

I did that too and just kept them all going the same way in a row.. I hope that made sense. At any rate... you can`t even tell unless you really look. No one in a check out line is ever gonna notice. ;-)

Peace,

Hi girls, I am still around, just running my legs off doing mama duck duties. I don`t have much computer time since I`m outside most of the time these days. Okay, duck report. Group #1 - 15 beautiful quackers who are getting their real feathers now and will be ready to start flying in about a week. Group #2 - 9 little guys who still have a lot of down, just starting to show some grown-up feathers. I had 100% hatch rate this year so after some touch and go at hatch time, everyone survived. I have been so busy carrying water, feed, cleaning the baby pool and taking them to the creek (in separate groups because the older ducks are unkind to the babies) that I haven`t gotten much else done. I get up early, start the feeding and watering, and the daily shifts of getting them out of their pens for duck stuff. You know, browsing the grass, chasing butterflies, swimming and running like little banshees around the yard. Then I begin their daily creek outings. I`d like for them to be very familiar with their home before I release them. Yesterday, the older ducks were down at the creek in the section before it opens into the lake and a male wild turkey came strolling through. You should have seen the panic! They thought they looked like lunch to him. They all ran and got under my lawn chair and hunkered down. This whole process ends about 6:30PM, at which point, it`s all I can do to take a shower, eat and fall into bed. As I tell Thom, another day, another set of dirty duck clothes. HA!

I haven`t written any emails, except one to Shui Kuen last night, and just have time to scan the chatsite for my daily dose of elann. I will try and take some pics to post soon. Have I mentioned I`m exhausted??? ;-}

Glad to know you`re OK, and so are the ducklings! I`m thinking there are a lot of really cute `gee, where`s my camera?` events every day. Take care of yourself, too.

Hi Benne,
I was thinking about you over the weekend as I was deep into the stash about you and your quattro. Did you ever start? If so, how`s it going? I think I am about to resurrect mine during football knitting!!
XOXO- Bri

Oh no, Bri, I haven`t started it yet. I`m still working feverishly on a secret project. Soon, soon...
