Update..

Well, if anyone is still reading this...

I've been unable to move my laptop for over three weeks due to my power cord. The pretty white cords for the old powerbooks have a tendency to snap, and mine was holding on by a mere thread. Since my battery dies after five minutes of use, I was forced to leave my poor laptop where it was in order to maintain it. I've since gotten a new power cord, and ***** Apple.. I went and got a third party cord for half the price. Can someone please tell me why I'm still considering a new Mac? :)

In knitting news... a group of us are meeting every Monday night from 7-9pm at the B&N on Rte 33 and Freemansburg Ave in Bethlehem. It's a great group and I'm finally getting some of my finishing work done.

FO (without pics, since I forgot the cable... )

One baby blanket out of a mystery cotton that I got on a cone... I'm assuming it's cotton because it burns very nicely.

My sister's flip top thrummed mittens. I was forced to give them to her... she was complaining it was rather cold out.

Socks for me out of Lorna's Laces Sheppard Worsted. I used one skein (I only had one), made them toe up and on size 3's (yes that hurt my hands). They are warm and thick, but I was disappointed with the yarn. In about six or seven spots, one of the plies had a knot it in. Now, this stuff doesn't spit splice, and they didn't bother me enough that I would weave in ends.. but I wouldn't buy the yarn again.

Mittens for Dulan, got to use up all the leftovers..

A pair of felted clogs for one of mom's friends... I made her a pair for Christmas last year and she managed to wear MULTIPLE holes through the soles... I have NO idea how she did that.. but I figured that was enough of an accomplishment that I had to make her new ones.


Notice my shawl isn't on this list.... I haven't touched it since I moved :(

UFOs/works in progress:

Shoalwater Shawl (I will finish this one day)
Grey socks for a friend (I may not finish these... )
Socks for my sister (I'm tired of her moaning and groaning)
Rogue!!!! I love this sweater... I'm on my second sleeve.. (I started with those first)

Hopefully I'll be posting more now that my power cord situation is taken care of... now if I can just remember to bring the cord for the camera..
