Jill begins by showing a finished swatch of K1, P1 ribbing on both the Right Side and Wrong Side. She notes that this cast on is a variation of the cable cast on and compares two cast on swatches. The cable cast on swatch has a more rope-like edge, and the K1, P1 cast on has a zigzag look to it. K1, P1 CAST ON Funny thing is, Jo seems fine with the way things are. She doesn't like drama, even if it does seem to find her anyway. I respect this. We all make mistakes.

You don’t get 60,000 people singing ‘Vindaloo’, but you do get 20 million people in pubs singing ‘Vindaloo’. Of course when the Daddy shows up, all rich and good-looking, the boyfriend is miffed. But what should happen, Pearl should never see her daddy? And the other two boys need to get used to him as a friend of the family. It's not as if Jo doesn't have a rich good-looking friend who is female, yeah?Jo takes on an unrealistic amount of work and numerous labor intensive projects, complaining about all of it constantly, unable to finish anything without lots of help from family and friends. She whines a lot, more than the kids do, which adds nothing to the story and is just plain annoying. As for Martin, he may as well be the hired help for all the respect Jo allows him. Honestly, how many guys would just hang out for a couple of years waiting to see if his chosen lady might decide that he's worthy of relationship with her? That's what bothered me the most, I think, that Jo was so shallow she couldn't decide if she was interested in Martin or not, and that he simply hung out waiting for her favor. Unrealistic, to say the least.

Harry takes care of Eddie and works freelance when he can and Ellen has just gotten her own talk show. So of course she's after Jo to get Grace on her show. It all works out, and I'm happy to see Jo doing so well in her shop. I wish we saw more of that. A small town shop selling local and beyond but using local help for the excess. We would all be better off, don't you think? More little shops instead of giant Wal*Marts everywhere?

This popular pattern is made up of two rows of knitting and one row of purling.

Connie, Ellen, and Gran were all great characters that were just relegated to bit parts in this book.
