Interestingly, knitting can be done one of two ways, American (?) or European style. I can do both, but at the time I was most interested in knitting, someone taught me in European and that is what I prefer. I find it more efficient, and less taxing, with condensed movement. They do not produce knitting which is exactly the same, but close enough that most people cannot tell the difference.

The first computer thing I did was my first year of college and we used a stack of punch cards. Is there a particular language associated with this? How horribly did I just date myself? Can anyone correctly guess what year was my first in college?

I don't care what you say, Pook, to me "tamal" is the only singular form of "tamales", no matter the language. nyeh nyeh... ;0)
