Lapghans??

Well, Marg, here's a couple things I'm working on. Really simple stuff, but quite useful and nice.
They certainly aren't the gigantesque afghan of my grandmother's fame, but they are quite cozy and comfy. I've got my two colleagues well-trained. You rarely find them without yarn and needles close by. In fact, G carries hers practically everywhere she goes and is cranking out doilies for Christmas presents like a machine.





Below, the source of the disgusting smell in my apartment. The cockatiel family is sitting on eggs and I'm afraid cleaning the cage will cause them to abandon the nest. It's not horrid, but it IS noticeable at times.



Rumor has it that the gang Zetas has come to our town. They wreak havoc and murder senselessly to the simple end of inspiring fear. Our mayor was threatened and refused to participate in the cultural activities attached to the Mexican Independence Day. He sent the Secretary instead. More on this later.

Thank you. I'm avoiding the down town area for a while.

Oh, I like how the knitted squares swirl in the middle.

One advantage of having chickens OUTSIDE. We only have two and I keep the coop cleaned once a week, so it doesn't smell. When they are laying, they don't want to be bothered and we don't need to. I don't know how much they would need to be left alone if they were egg sitting like yours were.

Beautiful work. I wish I could knit or crochet, but I've tried and I can't seem to ever get even stitches. I just don't think it is my thing. My Auntie used to make lap covers for the nursing homes. It was relaxing for her to crochet or knit and watch tv in the evenings. I'm sure the people at the nursing homes greatly appreciated her thoughtfulness. Sadly, she has now passed on. We all miss her. Annie

love the lapghans! I crochet afghans too. it is so relaxing to me but I have run out of people to give them too. now when people open a present for me I can see them thinking, I hope its not another afghan.

Gorgeous! I love the colours. Very nice, even stitches.

Are youy serious about Zetas in your town?

Nice afghans, I am awed by your ability.

I hope the smell from the cockatiel cage will keep the Zetas away... what's with law enforcement in Mexico? I've never heard anything good about it.

Those blankets look really nice! As for the birds, Martine (greatmartin) can probably help you out with what to do about the eggs and the smell. Sorry to hear about the gang in town. That sounds pretty scary! By the way, there's a commercial on the radio about something (tacos or something) that taste like they are from guadalahara (I know it's probably not spelled right). Everytime I hear that commercial, I think of you, since you mention it alot.

How comfy, warm and cozy those lapghans would be on a chilly fall evening! I admire the handiwork and the talent. May your cockatiel babies be born soon. I've never had a bird as a pet, but my two cats think it would be a great idea. Sorry to hear about the gang. That is such a problem in Mexico, really out of control in some places I read, and I hope it is only a rumor.

Oh wow..I love the colors in those...very pretty. They shouldn't abandon the nest, I had a cockatiel and cleaned her cage when she had eggs. She didn't like it of course, but I did it. You might ask Martin (greatmartin) he knows a lot more about birds than I do tho. Stay away from the gangs...they don't play well with others..
