She Perseverates: Elderblogger and Knitter

I really, really wanted to do this.  Get this black survey badge onto the lefthand column. 

Oh, I spent a lot of time at it.  Had tried this sort of thing  with my award for blogging and the important red one.  Even with step-by-step instructions from Ronni Bennett, who developed the survey, I could not make it happen.  And I think important data will emerge from it.  The results, a window into who we are and how we relate to this technology, will appear at her site, Time Goes By.    

Creative, be creative, my nudging voice said.  My solutions as a late-bloomer in blogland, are two choices for viewers of a little red hen.  Readers of elderblogs as well as elderbloggers themselves are urged to click on this link ELDERBLOG SURVEY: May One deadline. If you put it off till closer to the deadline--though I'd appreciate if you did it now--scroll to the "Websites" section in the left hand column and click on the same words to get to the survey.   Please tell Ronni that I sent you.

Perseveration [continuation of something... usually to an exceptional degree or beyond a desired point] I know well.  Following knitting patterns also offers me endless opportunities. 

Because the instructions for this adorable sweater were not, the chicken is off to the side rather than in the middle.  I began a creative solution by knitting small yellow eggs that I planned to sew under the hen's rump-- right where Roxie holds the bagel.

"Never mind," my son said, "We'll take it as is."  So, Marianne, at Busha Full of Grace (younger Elderblogger who I hope will do the survey) here's what I finished before the left hand break.  I'm onto another garment, slowed down by repetitve stress in right hand. 

And yet,  I perseverate--with blogging and knitting--to the distress of the hand therapist who is not a devotee of either one.

I would leave that beautiful chicken alone! So cute on Roxie!

Since I'm now *eligible*, I took the Elderblogger survey, by the way.
