Of course, I also want my knee to get better, so it might be time to pull out a drop spindle.<\/p>\n I’ve got 2 increases left on the first sleeve for my Ribby Cardi. I’m not sure if I’ll continue working on the sleeve or if I’ll try to work on Birch tonight.<\/p>\n Fun car news<\/i> So, yesterday I took my car in for it’s 35,000 mile oil change and asked them to take a look at it.
