Wouldn't you hate (okay, not hate, but be a tad disappointed) to realize you won the Mega Millions lottery and then find out you have to share it with three other people?
In Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 4: Betrayer , Phoebe wears a pair of lace muffatees, or gauntlets/arm-warmers that hide a rather deadly surprise. :) I actually got the idea of having her wear muffatees because I saw a lace manchette pattern in Miss Watts’ Ladies’ Knitting and Netting Book , published in 1840, page 20. However, after doing some research, I found that they were called muffatees in the Regency era, and the term manchette did not arise until a few years later. They were essentially arm-warmers worn under those long sleeves on day dresses, which were usually made of muslin too thin to be very warm. I decided to knit Phoebe’s muffatees using a Leaf Pattern originally suggested for a purse in Mrs. Gaugain’s book, The Lady’s Assistant, volume 1, 5th edition published in 1842, pages 234-237. I think there was an error and row 36 in the original pattern was duplicated erroneously, so I have adjusted the pattern. The original manchette pattern called for “fine” needles a
No, because that'd usually how the big lotteries go. With so many people playing them there is bound to be more than one winner.
ReplyDeleteI guess I never thought of that because I only hear about single lottery winners.
ReplyDeleteI just heard one of the winners bought the ticket with other people. So tht's even less for her.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I'd do that, if it comes down to large sums of money and working with other people. Too much potential for conflict, I think.
ReplyDeleteYou are right!I don't know about doing it that way either. I heard that it's turned into a mess. The lady now says she bought the ticket on her own. Her co-workers have confronted her. People around here say that on their jobs they make copies of the tickets and give them to everybody in the pool.
ReplyDeleteI heard about the Mega Millions mess! Making copies is a good idea!
ReplyDelete$213 MILLION each! And you'd hate to share? That's just crazy. How could you even spend $213 million?
