I guess #7 covers this but we can bring some clothes right? Knitting away, Alice (There goes Tina mentioning GREEN again)
yes, please bring clothes.
silly!
you probably mean green clothes, right? Or maybe just roll around in the moss. Virginia
Moss rolling is certainly a fun NW past time. Unfortunately it is way too cold for moss rolling in April.
I love green.
Moss rolling…sounds like a fun camp activity even if it’s too cold. That’s what hot chocolate is for. :o)
Tina,
I am assuming we need to bring our own tp? I love green, Lots of green Please!!!!!!!
TP? Tee Pee?? Tiny People? I have no idea what it is to even bring it! lol
So does anything happen to those who don’t finish their homework? Just curious….I should have mine’s finished by camp.
Rosa-tp to go with your homework…..:)
Some of us are not Americans and don’t know our slang. TP = toilet paper
yes I guess you would need to bring your own although I will make sure we have a stash just in case. I cannot believe we are having this conversation. too funny
Well I didnt’ want to be caught without. Loving the homework.
That makes sense! lol My hubbie is gonna look at me funny when I grab a roll to pack in my suitcase! Of course I won’t tell him what it’s for and just leave him wondering!
Clarification on that “Bring size O-6″ needles request… Do we need to bring one of *each* size between 0 and 6? Or a set/circ in any *one* size between 0 and 6? (In addition to the size #6 32″-40″ circs of item 3, of course.)
- Meg
This homework is almost like the contest. I mean, you have to figure out how many stitches to cast on to go around the roll - it could be how many stitches to cast on to go around the elephant. I’m still in the thinking stage of homework.
Meg, bring what you would need to knit a sock (DP, circs, ML) in each of the needle sizes between 0 and 6 plus that long size 6 circular. Hope that’s the answer you were looking for. Alice
P.S. That equals 7 or 8 sets of needles depending on whether you include the 2 different size one needles.
Go it, Alice; that was indeed what I was looking for: 7 or 8 sets of needles, not just 2. Thanks!
Wait, wait, wait!
I’m in the middle of adjusting to a new job, a move across country, and buying a house (closing next week if all goes to plan!) so I confess I haven’t been paying as much attention as I normally would.
Our “bring to camp” list now includes tube socks?!? With or without color?
Any PDXers have any clues where I can buy these?
I hadn’t noticed that either and have the horrible feeling that tube socks only come in packs of 12 or maybe 100. So, Jen, I will search out a pair (maybe Kohl’s) and bring them as a house gift! Good luck with the house closing. S
I am going to go to Walmart this weekend to get the tube socks, are we looking at men’s or women’s tube socks. It has been so long since I purchase these socks. Dang I can get them at the PX so if I have to purchase a package of them I will bring the package if anyone forgets theirs that is if I don’t forget.
Nobody at our house wears tube socks, so I will be bringing a package of them if anyone else doesn’t bring one.
I finally found a package of tube socks at Walmart but they where men’s sock and in grey so I grabed them. There was only a few packages left and there wasn’t any white socks. I walked the store 3 times looking! I don’t know what’s going on around here with tube socks.I use to buy my boys tube socks when they where younger all the time but I have had a hard time finding them now. Anyhow I will bring what I find!
I’ll just steal a pair out of my son’s sock drawer and add it to the take to camp pile. Still have to get my needles sorted out but I know I have all of them they were here last year weren’t they? Here needle needle needle here needle needle. Darn why don’t they come when I call? Hunt hunt dig dig rubble rubble rubble….
I only found boring white tube socks in the men’s department at Target — but at least I found some. The DH didn’t mind getting some new socks.
NOw, I’m hoping Tina is bringing a little dye to camp so I can make my socks less boring.
