Well, treasure, I have cast on and done the first 11 rows of the shawl. Considering that this brings me to a grand total of 13 stitches, I haven't really done much, but it is a start, right? Did you get it started?

Katherine spun a FINE 'yarn':

Hah. I had Guinness with dinner, port with dessert. This morning I have french press coffee made with homeroasted single-origin beans purchased from a VERY picky importer, and a little later I'll probably pull a double espresso over a square of high-value chocolate.
What were you saying about caffeine?
hehehehe

PADD? Me? Can't be!
Will you STOP talking about caffeine??? I gave it up, and every so often I just HAVE to have some. I am weak, you know! I limit myself to once a week, though, so that is not too bad.

Well, I gave up a lot of things in the name of trying to control my blood sugar and my cholesterol without medication (so much for that). I'm out of the habit now of eating a lot of things, and if I want to booze it up I have to stop my meds for a couple of days and that's a PITA since taking the stuff is an ingrained habit.
So really, the caffeine is about my only remaining at-will vice.

PS - I just roasted some Kenya AAA that smells delightful. I'll tell you tomorrow how it brews up :D
Oh, please don't! Right now I would give just about anything for a cup of good coffee!!!! Alas, having Meniere's plus hypertension means that caffeine is VERY limited!

*********************************************************** I just got the house cleaned up from last night and am seriously thinking og going back to sleep...besides that I only have old shaw; patterns from grandma, I don't those have come back in style yet.lol Annette
:( I experience food vicariously these days: living on sprouts and twigs leaves a lot to be desired so I hassle my friends for food p*rn :D But I'll keep it to myself.
There are some quite decent decaf coffees out there these days, you know. If you have a competent roaster in the area you might check into getting some.
Nobody told ME shawls aren't in style, nor all the little teens who have been wearing them at school despite the 95F and humid weather...
So knit away!
I don't think that it makes any difference with shawls.
Higs, Katherine
Oh, I get decent decaf coffees, but I still crave caffeine at times. Food p*rn? I love it!!!!
Higs, Katherine
As with any other type of p*rn, nothing beats the real deal :D
True.
Higs, Katherine
Katherine what shawl are you kniting ? mirjam
Here is a link to it, Mirjam. I am using a blue yarn, called Blueberry. Lovely colour, and very soft.
