I am sorry to report that the faithful laptop, well, failed me. Thankfully I am borrowing notepad from a friend. I miss the mouse very much. The part I need to fix it is probably arriving tomorrow, and I will see if there is any hope for it. It is bad news when my FIL is pushing hard to retire it. The laptop entered it's 9th year the 5th of July. Yes, I know my computer's birthday. More like I am counting down on the decade of despair AKA how long I have been in Indiana.
So, new episode Saturday, or I wasted 50 bucks and I need to buy a new laptop. Stay tuned.
I started a new project yesterday. I worked on it as the data was flying by at work. I got home, ripped it all out and restarted.
Sorry for the special webcam photo. I am nearly done with the first pattern repeat on the leg. The yarn is Vesper Self Striping in the Sweet Water colorway, and the pattern is Ashton Windows, by the lovely Karen of Sock Knitters. This is my second pair for the KAL I am hosting. So I was doing an hourglass rib, and it was really fiddlely with the size 0 hiya-hiyas so I just subbed in a 2x1 rib and I am really digging it. The cable lace pattern on the leg is fun.
I've missed the WIP Wedneday crew, and without a mouse I am truly link challenged. Copy paste is an ordeal.
Take care guys!

Such a Pretty colorway. Where can I find the KAL?
ReplyDeleteThanks, I am really digging the colors.

From one mouseless blogger to another, I feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteCute socks, though :)
Thanks Michelle! I eventually got the hang of copy paste, but geez is that obnoxious.
DeleteMousing ability is restored!

Oh I like that colorway!
ReplyDeleteI am a new reader to your blog, and don't why you are in Indiana, but I lived there for a while and it wasn't my favorite place, I have to say ...
Thanks Bridget!
DeleteI am in Indiana getting my PhD. But I am living in New Mexico for a few months.
