Nephew's health continues to require medical care, but they still believe it is a short term reaction and not a longer term issue. Meanwhile, their house was broken into, TV stolen, etc, etc. Dog was OK: locked in a bedroom.

Dear Universe: STOP MESSIN WITH MY SISTER. Sternly, me.

In Creative News, i've knit a swatch using a knook and i love it. A Knook is a hacked crochet hook that allows attaching a cord to keep knitting stitches "on". I do NOT like perling. I'm pondering if i could not turn the fabric and knit from left to right instead of perling from right to left. I like the stockingette stitch much more than the garter stitch....

Yeah, I actually hacked purling that way once! I now don't mind purling so much, but if you have swaths of stockinette to do and loathe purling...well!

EDIT: Also, I'm very sorry about your sister's troubles (and that I didn't mention that first >.<)

I'm suddenly set in mind of the Norse story of Baldr's death: i could go to everyone and get them to agree to leaving lola_kristine alone, but then Loki would find the one small insignificant gap.

Thanks. I imagine bundling the wishes up to send to him.... Maybe i'll explain six degrees of separation to him and the two degrees away that have sent him wishes.

PS, i'm enjoying your shared sightseeing!
