KnitWit 57: The Results are In

Filed under: podcast — Autumn Breeze at 1:16 pm on Saturday, February 24, 2007

This show is completely about the needle biopsy experience. It is quite long.

I have a favor to ask of you. Wayne got me a Wii. He is obsessed with Miis. He wants to share his creations with you and he wants to see yours. See the website post ‘Wii & Mii‘ for directions.

Thank you for your positive thoughts and well wishes.

Tell me what you think.

Good News!!!

Filed under: General — Autumn Breeze at 6:07 pm on Thursday, February 22, 2007

It’s good news.  The mass is not cancer.  It is a fibroadenoma.  What I called a fibrous tumor.  Perfectly normal for a woman of my age.

I will tell you all about the biopsy experience and more during the next podcast.
Thank you for all your well-wishes and positive thoughts.

(Kori, I lost your comment.  It got marked as spam.  I marked it as not spam then hit the wrong button and deleted all.  Would you please re-post?  I thought it was a great point and should be kept in the records for others to see.)

Thank you.

Carry.

Main Story.

People always ask us “Why don’t you just get married?”. There are lots of reasons. The main is my political believes. If you are conservative you may not want to listen. I am a liberal. I believe in equal rights. Some marriage laws are unequal.

What do you think?

I welcome your comments.

Wii & Mii

Filed under: General — Autumn Breeze at 1:34 am on Tuesday, February 13, 2007

Carry got a Nintendo Wii last month from me. We want to have a mii parade.

Thanks to Robert Lyttle for sharing his instructions which I edited slightly to give you our Wii number and ask you to send us yours. If you haven’t done this before here is the way to do it:

From http://wiitod.com/let’s-have-a-nintendo-mii-parade/

The first step to get your parade going is to obtain your Wii console number, to do that you must follow these steps:

1. In your main Wii menu on the bottom right hand side of the screen there is an envelope that you must click in order to move on.

2. On the next screen on the bottom left hand corner there is a piece of paper with a pen and when you hover your pointer over it, “create message” is displayed. Click on the icon.

3. The next screen has 3 buttons on it, a memo pad, an envelope and an address book. Click the address book to move on.

4. On the bottom right of this screen there is a button that says “register your console”. Click this and you will now have your 16 digit Wii console number. This is the number to send to your friends. We are your friends so send it to carry dot autumnbreeze at gmail dot com or share it here as a comment.

Now that you have your Wii console number, you must add your friends Wii console number to your address book. Follow these steps to accomplish this:

1. Go back to your address book following the above steps and click on the register button once again.

2. There are 2 buttons on this screen, one with a picture of a Wii console and the other a picture of a computer, phone and keyboard. Click the Wii console button. (The other button is to add a regular email address).

3. You will be prompted to enter a 16 digit Wii console number, enter your friends console number then hit “ok” and they are now added to your address book, then give that wii a nickname. Yeah, we are almost done. Enter the number 5524 6117 4883 4903 for Carry/Autumn/Wayne/Nobody.

After adding all of your friends Wii console numbers, we still have to make sure your Mii characters are set to mingle and set to travel.

To set your Mii characters to travel you must go into the Mii parade, which is done through the Mii channel. There is a button on the top right hand side of your Mii channel to enter into the parade. Once in the parade toggle the setting of your Mii’s to “travel”. Now for the last step if you have not done this already is to set your Mii’s to “mingle”. In your Mii channel you can drag and drop your Mii’s onto the edit button by hovering over the selected Mii and holding A and B at the same time to pick them up then simply drop them on the “edit “ button. On the first tab of the Edit screen toggle your mingle option to ON.

After following these step and having your friends do the same with your Wii console number you should be ready for a parade only time will tell. Another neat thing about doing this is that your Mii characters and your friends Mii’s will now be in your games (They will be on the baseball roster, observers in bowling, etc. only if you transfer the Mii’s to your plaza).

These instructions were gathered from http://wiitod.com/let’s-have-a-nintendo-mii-parade/

We look forward to seeing your Miis soon.

KnitWit 55: Designing

Filed under: podcast — Autumn Breeze at 5:41 pm on Saturday, February 10, 2007

I got my yarn from my secret pal. Check out previous post for pictures.

I want a red summer sweater. Since you wanted to know more about my designing method, I invite you to join me on this journey.

First crucial steps are being taken. Choice the yarn. Choice the style. Choice the needles. Determine gauge. Take measurements.

I reveal my secret to knitting sweaters from my yarn choice in many styles. Barbara Walker’s Knitting from the Top Down (http://www.schoolhousepress.com/) shows you how to knit a variety of styles in a seamless top down fashion. I use this book all the time. This is the most used book in my library beside stitch dictionaries.

Did you find this interesting? Helpful? Let me know.

Spin to Knit Secret Pal Exchange Update

Filed under: General — Autumn Breeze at 8:18 pm on Sunday, February 4, 2007

I got beautiful mohair singles the other day from my secret pal. It was dyed with Kool-Aid in purples and blues. I think it is destined to become a scarf. Way Cool.


Colors are a bit off.  It is purple and blue.  I don’t know what flavor of Kool-Aid makes blue.  I am pretty sure the purple is grape.  At least it smells a bit grapish.

There is a nice sheen from the mohair.  Really pretty stuff.

Carry.

KnitWit 54: Snow and Ice

Filed under: podcast — Autumn Breeze at 12:18 pm on Sunday, February 4, 2007

Update on last weeks story. I have to go back and get more images done.

It snowed here in NC which reminded me of a snow story.

Please let me know what you think. Is this the price of a good dead? Is it really a good dead when you do it ’cause they are annoying the hell out of you?
