Preface:
I spent yesterday in San Diego hanging out with a friend that I haven’t seen in a year. During the much anticipated catch-up story-telling session of everything that has transpired in our lives, I realized that alot of the punchlines and “oh-no-you-didn’t” moments have escaped my short-term memory. This is definitely no bueno in my book, because you see, I need instant refreshers to all things funny and tragic that have occurred in my life.
And so, encouraged by my Life in a cubicle commenters, I’ve decided to incorporate more of the funnies that have happened to me. My friend Bobby calls it the “Human Interest” section of the blog.

Anonymous Person within my hearing range had been groaning in pain all morning. The story was that he fell off a horse and injured himself. But as all things go in life, there was more to the tale.
*crack*
Truth is, he cracked his rib on the shitter.
Moments later, the same person suffered a bout of non-stop sneeze-fest. In the midst of his sneezing, all I heard was:
Merde! Merde! Merde!
That must have been some merde indeed.

I love the things you overhear just about anywhere in life. You knew too much info in this case for my taste. My favourite overheard was last June, last day of school. We live close to an elementary school and lots of kids go past our house twice everyday. One of them is a girl who must be in Grade 4 now but still enjoys the walk to school every morning with her Dad, so she can ask him all the important questions. On this morning just as they went past my open bedroom window she said “Dad, have I ever had fish for breakfast?” and then they were gone. I never heard the answer, never heard why she asked.

navajo-ply is actually a “fake” 3ply. it’s made from chained singles, very much like a crochet chain. it’s not as stable as a true 3ply but you can keep color sequences together.
if you go with a 2ply for socks, make sure to ply tightly so the yarn looks more bouncy and round instead of flat.
good luck! your singles look great.
