Me:
I'm an independent contractor and have been since I started doing
transcription some 15 years ago. I subcontracted for the woman who had
the account at the medical office I used to work at, and while I was
doing this I was working on getting my own clients. Currently I'm
typing for 2 orthopedists and a chiropractor, and I'm on call with a
surgery office and a cardiologist. I'm only working part-time 'cause
that brings in enough to pay for my girls' school, but I want to be
working more.
Cats...only one of mine decides to annoy me when I'm finally getting
time to relax and knit, but Lilith is so darn cute that I can't resist
:-) She will jump up on the sofa next to me and paw my shoulder to get
my attention, and if I don't respond she quite literally thows herself
at me. Once I acknowledge her she'll put her head in my lap and start
kneading on my legs for about 5 minutes, then she'll either curl up in
my lap or get up and walk away. Strange kitty, that one. The other
one, Stormy, is the yarn chaser. I keep some remnants for her to bat
around the house, and with the new wood floors it's fun to watch her

slide around while doing this <g>
Wendy:
And I am really enjoying KD too. I can't do lots of the fancy things
but sheer bull determination sees me through my fair isle doll
sweaters. To me, it's the "thrill of the chase" and challenging new
skills, not necessarily the actual item I am creating. At any rate, we
all have our own reasons for loving what we do and sharing that (and
our FRUSTRATIONS! LOL!) here as well. :)
Me:
I really like KD. I may not choose to work on any of the projects or
techniques discussed, but I do enjoy reading about them and seeing how
they work. I also like the photo galleries with the staffers modeling
various projects. This is making me realize that just because I'm not a
perfect size 10 doesn't mean I can't go a little "clingier" in my size
selection (other than cardigans, which I like loose-fitting).

Interesting you should mention that....I'm not anywhere near a perfect
size, so I feel I can't wear many of the very lovely items I see being
created. That's sad but true. Any thoughts out there on good styles
for plus-size ladies of a certain age? LOL!

NEVER EVER heard of a PERFECT sized Woman or man ,, Every one is
Perfect for herself , we all have parts we like better other parts we
like less ,,,, Remember the Hebrew word Kavod =3Dhonor comes from Kaved
=3D Heavy ,,,
I think all women are beautiful each in her singular special way ,,,,
Sizes are just Selling or sewing help tools ,,, that is all ....
