Hi b.w., I do remember the concert very well (Eileen McGann) and had a wonderful time. No idea how I got there, or away.

Actually, it is very difficult to describe (I was aware of that when I made my points) in words, and pictures have to be very synched. I imagine video is better, but as anyone knows who has bought an instrument video, they can be even more frustrating. Not to pick on Stilly River Sage but "Stick the left needle into the material on the bottom side of the right needle," doesn't say whether the needle goes in front of the loop first then back, or under the loop or what. And that is not Stilly River Sage's fault -- I have not set out the problem as I see it, nor set up the problem in such a way that a set of instructions would be helpful. I didn't say that the way I learned (and forgot) was to have the "old stitches" in the left hand needle, and the new ones on the right, and so on.
I find it fascinating that it is so hard to speak clearly about something that a few seconds with an expert would clear up. I only waste people's time with this because I find exactly the same phenomenon with learning to play the guitar!!!

yours (with knitted brow)
