harking back to ths entry I seem to have bought one yesterday, but i don't have a 9volt battery so i can't play with it yet. can i get rechargeable 9v batteries anywhere in Edinburgh or do i have to go online? we seem to have got all our batteries bar the button cell ones as rechargeable now, i think we're doing really well. i know that one of our chargers will do 9v, so i feel very virtuous about out new toy. (I'm sure i can make bill use it at least once and will have trouble wresting it from the boys grasp, so i can call it "ours).

harking back to this entry: Gratuitude I have finally been able to journal it in the notebook that it came with and it on the Wearable Sculptures Website. It has been in my possession far longer than it should have been, but it has taken me a long time to be able to articulate the gratitude that I do actually feel every day about the state of my life at the moment. I still haven't done a very good job, but it's enough. I really truly am grateful for the fact that the last few months have made me appreciate so much much.

I would love for this to make its next stop with one of my friends, so if you have something to make you feel gratitude, or indeed need a boost to help you look for such things - please say so and I will send it on. I know that there are marriages, and new houses and other good things happening, so please volunteer. It has to be back in the US come May, so no one can hang onto it for as long as I did!

there will be a post about chemo number 4 soon - it was ok, and i am halfway through, and completely through the heavy duty epirubucin. lower level of poison to look forward to now...

stuck knitting

I've got stuck. i've knit the yoke on the top down raglan all in a circle, and have all four sections on separate cables. and I can't figure out what to do next. if I follow the instructions the knitweare patterns gives me it looks like I will be knitting the purl side. what am i supposed to do?

it says with right side of back facing, cast on 8 stitches then knit the front stitches from the holder. if i do that, the purl side of those stitches are showing.

i think i need someone to show me what to do...boogers

**EDIT:**

Here's that the pattern says. Does it make sense and I am just too tired?

BODY (ARMHOLE TO HEM):
1. With right side of back facing and Stocking Stitch, start where back joins left sleeve. Cast on 8 sts for underarm, work sts from front holder, cast on 8 sts for second underarm, and finally work across back section. Total 142 sts for body. Mark the side 'seams' at the underarm midpoints (after sts 4 and 75).
