Nature Notes
Hey Paula,
I really enjoyed your tree tales and I was fondly
remembering your parents’ back yard when I visited there just before your
father passed. It was indeed like a park; lovely, inviting, peaceful.
If I had to pick a favorite tree, I would have to choose the
apple. The neighborhood where I grew up in Acton, Massachusetts was once an
apple orchard and so many apple trees remained even after the houses were
built. They were so pretty in the spring with those abundant blossoms and also
super easy to climb. They never got too high so our parents never worried about
us too much. One time my best friend’s mom was under one and a whole bee hive
fell out of the tree and down the front of her blouse! Although stung many
times, she was fine, but what a day that was when Mrs. Sharp ripped open her
blouse! 1960’s - probably wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow today would it???
And those apples in the fall! So many delicious memories of
fresh applesauce, pies, crisps and ciders. These were McIntosh apples. And with
their fresh snap and sour bite, I still love them over any other. My taste buds
have not forgotten.
In the winter, the bird feeders were hung from the bare
branches and my love for bird feeding and watching was born.
Yes, I would have to go with the apple.
Thanks again for this segment. I enjoyed thinking back.

Needle Notes
SSK (Slip Slip Knit) vs K2tbl
I recently heard on a presentation that you can substitute
k2tbl for ssk. Why not? It’s easier!
These are not the
same. They are similar. K2tbl is a twisted cousin of SSK.
I don’t like to call people out on things but this is
misinformation. I’m sure I have put out my share of incorrect information as
well. On the other hand, if SSk and K2tbl were interchangeable it seems we
would have heard about it already from Barbara Walker, Cat Bordhi, Elizabeth
Zimmermann, Meg Swansen, or any number of knitters who are way more
knowledgeable than I am.
K2tbl= Insert right needle into the back of two stitches on
left needle. Knit these two together.
Slip Slip Knit= Individually Slip two stitches knitwise.
Insert left needle into the front loops of these two stitches (left to right)
and knit together. If you look at the stitches before removing them from the
needle it may look like a K2tbl but if you look at the orientation of the
stitches you will see that they have been turned. That is why you slipped them
individually knitwise.
What do these two decreases have in common:
·
Both are left leaning decreases.
·
Both eliminate one stitch.
Why they are different:
In SSK the top stitch, the one you see when the stitch is
complete, is oriented properly. It is not twisted. In k2tbl it is twisted.
Don’t believe me. Test it yourself on a swatch.

I also loved A Man Called Ove! I laughed out loud, and I cried at the end. I read his other two novels first, and I recommend them. My Grandmother Says to Tell You She's Sorry gripped me in the same way, while Britt Marie was Here was more like a slow burn quietly drawing me in. (I even re-read the last few chapters, which I can't say I've done before.)
I'm only sad Fredrik Bachman doesn't have any more books out there right now! Impatiently waiting for the next one!
I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
