I can't use progressives either, so I'm suck wearing single vision for driving and cheapo reading glasses (Michaels, $2.99 a pair) for close up and reading. I could never cross stitch without them, and I have them everywhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-30295639479863014342012-02-07T11:21:51.441-08:002012-02-07T11:21:51.441-08:00I'm a new follower Edgar.

I see fine up close but can't see a darn thing in the distance. I am often asked, how do you see without your glasses to cross stitch. I respond with "Ancient Chinese secret." LOL. That secret may not last long as I am getting older too and may "require" new glasses to stitch too.<br />I've enjoyed visiting your blog.<br />TFS.<br />JackieJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18387913442305007906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-56644893360759204612012-02-07T11:19:14.138-08:002012-02-07T11:19:14.138-08:00Like you, I can see good enough at a distance but ...Like you, I can see good enough at a distance but have in the last year or so needed glasses to stitch. Just when I think I could get by without them, I put them on and find out just how bad my eyes are!

And they never get my prescription as strong as I feel I need it. It's rather frustrating to say the least! Good luck -- hope you don't have to spend the big bucks this time. Sorry about the rain, but yes, I hear you do need it out there.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03646028248366805686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-42421323944203018252012-02-07T08:07:06.441-08:002012-02-07T08:07:06.441-08:00A good coffee cake is almost as good as new stash ...A good coffee cake is almost as good as new stash : ) Blessings, ShirleeShirleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04117632465099828622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-74255370049459248912012-02-07T07:57:30.974-08:002012-02-07T07:57:30.974-08:00It started raining here this morning too.

For several years I had reading glasses but I got so sick of taking them on and off whenever I needed them that I finally broke down and got the bifocal progressives. I always squawk about the amount I have to pay when I need a new pair. Just think how much stash we could buy with that money, lol!<br />Thanks for the info on the cookbook. This is one I would really like to add to my favourites.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299867624939647862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-72243836356865515562012-02-07T07:16:57.084-08:002012-02-07T07:16:57.084-08:00Hope all goes well at the eye exam Edgar and you d...Hope all goes well at the eye exam Edgar and you don't have to part with too much of your stash cash!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863899802782756191noreply@blogger.com
