Well, it might have been a quiet week at Lake Wobegon, but not at our place. The biggest event was the arrival of the book. (The phone is for scale. The book is 8.5 X 11".)

Yikes, Janet! I can't even imagine what that must be like. I hope you get well quickly and that it solves the problem!
Thanks Peggy. This surgery has been a challenge for me. More than my carpal tunnel and trigger thumb surgeries. The dr had to move my nerve back to the front of my arm so has not been fun to say the least!
Janet, that brings back memories of my thumb surgery. I had the second one done right around Thanksgiving, and I was having to send out Christmas cards. What was I thinking? We used stickers for the addresses, and it worked out. I remember I was able to spin before I could knit. It was a long time before I could hand-quilt. Good luck on your recovery. I hope you'll be able to knit and quilt again quickly. It helped me to read novels about people knitting and quilting. Marie Bostwick's "Cobbled Court" series and Debbie Macomber's "Blossom Street" novels kept me from going stir-crazy.
Congratulations on the book Peggy. It looks great. We voted early because I had surgery on my ulnar nerve in my right arm & was afraid I wouldn't be able to hold a pen well enough to fill out a ballot. I am looking forward to being able to knit & quilt again.
Bonnie, I used a 14-oz cone, but I had a lot left. I think I made about 5 dishcloths out of the leftovers, and I still have a little ball left. I have in my notes on Ravelry that it took 9 oz. The yarn really gets used up fast when you hold it double!
Carol Ann, thank you for voting and being so conscientious about seeing that it arrived OK and was tallied. We would have better government if everyone voted!
The book order is in. I should have it by Halloween.
Peggy, my husband and I have already voted (here in California) as of last week. We took our filled out ballots personally to the Department of Elections in our county, and placed them in their drop box at the courthouse! No "slip between cup and lip" here! We checked on the website and they have already been "accepted and tallied." Thank you for all the work you did (letters and phone bank) to get out the vote in your area! It's so very important, especially this time.
Love the new doll -- she is so cute! I'm sure she'll have a whole new wardrobe, in her size, very soon!
Personal book publishing looks very complicated, but you persisted, and the book looks great!
Congratulations on the book!
i “borrowed” your idea of a few weeks ago and am knitting a dish dry mat of Sugar and Cream. I found a variegated yarn with the right barn red to go with my cupboards-Summerfield- and I’m smiling with every stitch as it reminds me of The Grinch colors. It sure sucks up yarn! I think I’ll need 2 more skeins.
