Cool I!! I love that piano key ruler! How cool. I was tall all my life too...just over 5'9". It was tough until highschool. Than I loved it and wished for a couple of more inches.

Vera

I used to wish I were tall.

I'm 5'4", and I remember being a little jealous of all the tall girls when I went to school. They just seemed more mature than us "shorties".

For some reason, I have problems with keeping up with my tape measures and needle sizers, so I keep buying new ones. Somewhere, there's a pile of them hiding from me.

Beth

Great "I"! But I have to confess to switching to the centimeter team if I'm on a dull knit that I need to feel like I'm making progress on quickly. Who wouldn't want to make it to 10 (cm) instead of just 4 (in)?

Rachel H

Very cool "i". I love your piano key tape measure. What a neat idea. And I can't wait for the debut of Mountain Stream.

Ann

Great inch rumination. Brings to mind a song:

'Inch worm, Inch worm
Measuring the marigolds.
Seems to me that you could see
How beautiful they are.'

Or is it 'you are'? I don't know...I just have a visual of Kermit and an inchworm on wires... Frank Oz was a genius.

Kim

You long, tall drink o'water, you!

What a great "I". I used to resent being short and often fudge my height by claiming slightly more height than I posess. I know I'm fooling nobody but myself. Now there's a new height game in my house because my daughter is gaining on me rapidly and has taken to telling one and all that she is just as tall as I am. Not so! At her check-up last week she measured 59 and a half inches which means I'm still 3 or 3 and a half inches taller than she is. It depends on if you believe me or the ruler. Hah!

Chery

I use Nancy's measure tool, also. I love your piano key ruler. How cute.. I couldn't tell you how many inches long my socks are, I measure with my hand length toe to beginning of gusset. The length of the cuff is measured by folding. I all in 'another' process.

Chris

Wow, taller than me. :) Great "I."

I LOVE your black sheep tape measure - I just have the regular white sheep variant.

Kelly

awww how awesome is the piano key ruler! What an awesome idea!
I'm 5' 9 and feel like a giant compared to everyone at work, the bonus however is I can reach the cap shelves without a ladder :)

Stitch-n-Snitch

What a clever I post! I finally started Mountain Stream and had to take a dip into the frog pond. Here's hoping I get as far as you have eventually!

Norma

Oh, how I wish I had some of that height!

Carole

Great idea for I! And that black sheep tape measure - I want one. I have 2 white ones but the black sheep is much more my style, you know?

i make a crochet hat. no pattern really, just the crocheting process till the top is big around enough and then a row to make it turn down and then maybe a pattern stitch, i've been making it for 30 plus years. i use a dollar bill to measure it!
ps, i love the color of your hair.

regina

I'm with Norma! I've never really been too concerned with my appearance, but if i had my druthers, i'd want to be quite a bit taller.

Great "I" post!

Beth S.

You've made me remember: "Inch by inch, row by row / I'm gonna make this garden grow..." (Arlo Guthrie's version, of course. :-)

Hooray for Mountain Stream! Mine was just about the same size, but it took a truly vicious blocking to get there. Two skeins for me next time. ;-)

Vicki

I is for Incredible, as in "You are..." What a great entry, Margene!

I love the comments, too. Mom says that grandma always referred to tall women as a "tall drink o' water" (makes me smile and think of iced tea) -- and that Inch Worm song is one of my favorites in the whole wide world...

Ruth

My children are all tall ... they take after their dad, who is 6'7". I'm 5'3". I call myself the leavening agent.

Cara

Oooo! You're so smart! VERY nice I!

Lucia

You're taller than I, that's for sure. Pun intended.

My DH and DD think having a sheep tapeworm (of any color) is very strange.

Nonnahs

I hate measuring pieces as I knit, because when I do, I find that I'm either far from the required length, or then, I've knitted past the required length. Somehow I can never gauge it right the first time. :p

Snow

You're doing such a nice job with your alphabet, Margene. Very creative.

Peg

I love your "I" words. We measure with cms here in Canada, but I must admit I still use inches. I loved seeing the little song about the "Inch Worm". Your piano key measure is wonderful, Margene. Your snow, like ours, is going down by inches every day and the streams and rivers are rising by inches! Looking forward to Mountain Stream!

Patti

I'm 5'2" and have always felt there was a tall person trapped inside. ;)

Who made that beautiful piano key ruler for you?

Karen

How did you make "I" seem so easy? ;) Great idea!
I love that black sheep measuring tape!
