A Tree Grows in Brooklyn Manhattan

So I'm on row 52 now. That means that there are three more of these big huge bobbles left.

Bobbles are fun... but I had to knit the first one about 8 times before I finally figured out the instructions for it. Yowza!

I spent much of today feeling sorry for the people of New Orleans, but I am happy to say that I was able to reach a friend on the phone - and he's safe in Houston. I emailed my college roommate, who's from there, but of course haven't heard back. Could be ages before I do, if I do at all - we haven't been the closest of friends over the years. But I do hope that he writes.

TiVo just helped me discover the wonder that is "Malcolm in the Middle." It never occurred to me that I might want to watch a show about a family like that, but oh my! It's really quite fun.

Anyhow... I have to work overtime tomorrow - 11am to 10pm. Bleah! But hopefully I'll find time to create a few more bobbles.

Really? Bobbles are fun? I've been avoiding them at all costs. I struggled with french knots when I did embroidery as a kid, and swore off anything even resembling one.

That pattern looks fantastic! I've been looking for an afghan pattern for a wedding gift.

Did you know there's an errata page? It's here: http://www.knittinguniverse.com/books/bookscorrections/gaaa/gaaaweb.pdf just in case.

As always, your talent and speed amaze me. I'm in awe.

I'm with Jenn. Bobbles are fun? Just the instructions are horrid. Your bobbles, though, are perfect.
