One clue: Nona means grandmother in Italian. Does this mean that you are a grandmother? I,also, am a grandmother; I used to knit socks for my boy friend during lectures at Mount Holyoke College in the 1950s.

Hi Nona,
I got such a laugh reading your story about the boyfriend sweater! I guess the good news is that the "curse of the boyfriend sweater" did not hit. I enjoy reading your blog, and must say you are a fun writer as well as a wonderful knitter.

I do not have a blog but very much enjoy yours. I do have a question about short rows (have not yet attempte any but after reading your blog, would like to try). It seems, reading instrucitons for short rows that they will only work in st st, true? I prefer textured and/or lacey garments. Is it possible to use short rows with a textured pattern?

Emelia loves Diebenkorn as well, especially his figural stuff. Emelia also really (and I mean Really) loves Nona's blog. Emelia is also totally digging this talking-about-oneself-in-the-third-person. She finds it soothing to read and not pompous like it usually comes out.
