So sorry about your ankle, Bess! Ouch! Only good thing about it is the guilt-free knitting time, huh?
Hello, Bess

Hello, Injured One. Hope your ankle mends quickly -- but not so quickly you can't get in some good knitting/reading time. Up here it's Victoria Day. Canada, apparently, is the only country in the world that still celebrates Her Majesty's birthday -- on the Monday closest to May 24th each year. It is a holiday you'd love, full of fireworks and barbeques and laid-back reading on loungers, and gardening, and toasting the Late Great Queen with whatever, and listening to great music, and of course, knitting. May you have a happy one, and be regally treated, as befits your injury!
Hi Bess! This is Glenn of Warsaw, so....a Riverknitter who happened across your blog via a Google of 'Virginia knitting blog'. Imagine my delight when I saw something familiar. I know you have an active knitting group over there. As my last day of full time work is Friday - going into private practice social work - I hope to drop in to your group sometime. I, too knit, spin three times a year, hook, bead, jewel, dye, sew, etc. I first came upon blogs through Yarn Harlot - now I'm hooked. However, I wished for more familiar landscape - voila! My earlier post is my first time ever! Though slow by nature, I hope to stay in touch. P.S. I'm an ENFJ - can you tell?! I loved the Greer Garson version of P & P - okay anything black in white in fact. Always love Greer's characters - so does that make me Elizabeth - God only knows that I speak too freely! Will eventually see the 'code' - all the college girls want to see 'Amelie' in another feature film; all us mothers want to see Tom...

Oh, you and those ankles!
Hi, Bess! Sorry to hear that you have had yet another mishap with your ankle. Nice to have a long weekend, though! :)
By Subscribe to Post Comments [Atom] Monday, May 22, 2006 Hello Glen across the river. I’m delighted you commented. I’m utterly fascinated with your signature - are you across my river or across some other river? Are you a guy or a gal or just a lovely sweeping valley nestled between tree covered mountains? Anyway, I’m glad you enjoyed that lengthy review. Alas - I don’t get t.v. where I live so I have never seen any of the knitting episodes of any of those good craft shows. And it is that I don’t choose to get t.v., mind now. My neighbors all pay for the antennas and satellite dishes. I get sucked into the media vortex enough with just videos and DVDs, so I’ve chosen to pass on the immediate-media of television. And speaking of comments - I will confess here that I suffer from the worst case of CommentEnvy. My mind boggles when folk have 10 or 20 or 30 comments as a regular thing. I can’t imagine what it must be like to get 135 comments in a day - I wonder what sort of person attracts that sort of attention. And I know it doesn’t mean that I am not that 1950’s goal of all southern belles - Popular - but my statscounter will say that all these folk visit each day and ... a busy comment day at ThePalace will be - what - 4 comments. So either all my readers score way over on the I column of the Myers Briggs personality test or those satcounter hits are generated by spam programs and when they can’t post a comment because they can’t parse the code they just leave those silent footprints. I shouldn’t care about not getting dozens of comments, and mostly I don’t. But I always welcome new ones. And Miss Mary - howdy to you too. That movie will do just fine on a DVD. It doesn't really need the big screen. I didn't think Silas, the killer, was scary enough, either. Here’s something a good (and frequently commenting) friend has come up with:  This blog-along comes courtesy of E. My first thought was “Hey Cool!” and I signed up right away but on further reflection - well, this blog is pretty much a “day in my life” sort of thing. I wonder if it’s just utterly too egotistical of me to spread Me-Talk about like that. I still think it’s a cute idea and it provides an outlet for the non-blogging population. I’m going to leave the button up on my sidebar at least through June 15. And as for the days in the life of this knitter - well - yesterday was spent with another sprained ankle, propped on a pillow and wrapped with ice packs. Yep. Hit the ground again - when will I ever learn to walk instead of flop down the road. This time I had on shorts, so the other leg got pretty skinned up. I will spend today in the same position - not because I’m so badly injured - it’s a minor - a truly minor - sprain. I could go to work and hobble about. But why? I’m way past any false sense of essentiality. I can do all that I really needed to do from home via phone. There is staff enough to cover a quiet Monday, which I am sure today will be and I have fortylevendyhundred hours of sick leave. So. I shall knit today. Perhaps something lusciously silky. And watch Elizabeth Bennet laugh her way into love. posted by Bess | 7:40 AM |
