Sunday, March 14

so

Im prepared .. Bought anchors .. Whoda thunk .. I hit a beam

So I want the bracket 3" down from the crown molding & 17" in from the edge of the wall

well

The wall is bare .. Needs SOMETHING!! The space between the book shelves is 43" .. Wanna hang something 5«wide .. So I gotta hang it?? From the edge

math

1/2 of 43 = 21 1/2 = center of space
Bookshelf is 25"
Item to be hung is 5' (60") wide
Center of item is 46" from edge of bookshelf .. So one bracket goes at 16" from edge of bookshelf

around 2001, Bethany Lankin created & posted this pattern
for a pair of St Patrick's Day Sock
she even tells what the patterns represent
however, the pattern is NO longer available
So, I bought the pattern from her when i was in Indy
3 years ago - can't find it NOW

today i found the copy i printed off the web a while ago
it's missing the chain pattern above the toes and the snake pattern - so today i played with the wayback machine & i FINDED the pattern :)
glad i found it on the web so I can NOW make the
sock as she designed it
yeah, i will probably knit it in oatmeal, but i don't think
i want worsted / sport weight sox

Sharon knit a pair for her friend Kath
her pattern is slightly different

pop tab purses

a few years ago, when i was still in Indy (or maybe Fort Wayne) i planned on making one of these. I am sure Debbie Barisa had a hand in getting me to try to make one. After i became a Flight Attendant, i kept saying i would try. Moved to Atlanta where clutches are sold @ the Coca Cola Museum. tried to make one - think i would be better to do it in crochet OR wire - to simulate chain mail ..

there are some websites up now that were NOT up when i first got the idea

1 purse

mostly crocheted

how to crochet one

chain mail - very kewl

IF i make another - it will be more along the line of chain mail than knit

coca cola clutch
