Ahh the joy of the season.. untangling the lights.. woo hoo!
We got them untangled and tested on Saturday and went and cut down our tree.. and.. well that’s it!
There wasn’t time for anything else!
I got my yarn for my Hexed Hat.. pop over to the knitalong and check out my first hexagon!It was fast and easy, instead of using DPN’s I went with two circulars.
What else.. THIS bothers me. I read last year that just about every woman in Iraq is on Valium.. it seems it is even worse this year than last year. Women are basically becoming prisoners in their own homes for fear of being killed or kidnapped or other awful things. They cannot hold jobs, they cannot drive, they cannot go out without head scarves and long skirts.. many leave home once every two months or so.. I don’t see how this is a better democratic Iraq. I rarely say anything political so.. you have to know this aspect really bothers me..of course this is coming from me.. who hates wearing skirts.. and doesn’t wear a head covering.. but I will do both out of respect for others..
I dunno, sure the rest of us might be safer.. but they aren’t..is this a fair trade off? It sure is tricky.
