At first Ford had formed a theory to account for this strange behavior. If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he thought, their mouths probably seize up.
After a few months' consideration and observation he abandoned this theory in favor of a new one. If they don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working.

Sorry Vampyre, but if I started you a sweater it would not be finished in time to wear this winter. I have had to beat myself to get this one done for Jim.

Lucky Rainbow...Wow, you are one Awesome Knitter! The sweater is gorgeous. I love the cable stitches, you are really gifted.
I tried a hat in cable...well, we won't go there. Ha.
P.S. Bacardi Jim, you look quite the Irish fisherman in your new sweater.

We also have posters from the other 2 movies as well. Although, they are a smaller size. We picked the paint color to compliment the artwork.

Thanks for all the compliments. It is very nice, if I do say so myself. The yarn I used is designed to be very soft. This is the 3rd or 4th project I have done with cables. I am really starting to get the hang of them. This sweater is one of the quickest I have knit. It only took me about 3 months.

It wold take me longer than that to figure out the theory of operation of the pointy things and their relationship to the fuzzy stuff.

I made a sweater once (knitted). Well I made the front, and proved to myself I could knit then quit.
I made a scarf for a bf but he died before I got it finished so I used it for a pot holder.

My Mom was a fabulously good knitter and crocheter (is that a word?), and she even made her own patterns for sweaters. Me . . . well, Mom tried her best, even sent me to knitting school (yeah, there is such a thing, I felt like I was living "Little Women"), but I never got the hang of it. Always dropping stitches, getting lost and forgetting to change stitch or wool or underwear (oh, wait, that's not a knitting problem).
I was better at crocheting, and I have actually managed to finish some afghans. Small ones. Ones that would fit on a very, very small couch. A hobbit couch, actually.
I once started a baby blanket for a friend who was pregnant. Several YEARS later, my mother finished it and gave it to someone else who was having a baby. I think the "baby" I'd started it for was in school by then!
So great work! And great commitment!

I'm sorry for your loss Dori. But I guess this means your hand-knitted scarves are to die for? (Sorry but I couldn't resist) I bet the pot holder is beautiful |
