Day 17 Can You Identify This Knitted Thingy?

Today was a slow news day, so I decided to offer you a little quiz.  I took a picture of something I bought the other day at the open air market.  Can you guess what it is?  No prize, just the satisfaction of knowing you are way too smart.  I will  let you in on the secret in a day or two, so put your guesses in the comment section.

Del had  a double seminar today, so I had the place to myself  from 1 to 6:30 or so.  I did some laundry and then went to the Iki for some bread and such like.  When I got home, I pulled out the ham broth and bits and pieces of ham to make soup.  There was so much broth I decided to make 2 kinds and freeze the left overs.  There was cilantro, at a price, in the store today, so I made ham, bean and barley soup with a Mexican attitude, using a few shakes frm a taco seasoning packet to substitute for spices I did not find at the little Iki.
It worked great.  Then I experimented with a package of frozen borscht vegetables, cabbaage, potatoes, and barley.  Both soups had canned tomatoes, onions and lots of garlic.  The cabbage soup didn't seem quite right so I added a glug of flavored venegar.  I was surprised that Del chose the cabbage.

Does anyone know what I did to make my computer erase letters when I try to correct my mistakes instead of letting me inject a new letter in the middle of the word or add a space when I forgot one?  More importantly, does anyone know what I can do to make it stop?  I feel as though today's post is trying to do away with itself.  Which reminds me, does anyone remember ink eradicator (sp?)?  My aunt Ruby used o use it to make corrections in her grade book, back before the flood.  I thought it was a miracle.
