The Big Changeover

So I finally got a new computer. The old one, not to old in human years, but in technology years, a dinosaur. A laptop dinosaur to boot. I have the new computer now, so all my pictures need to be moved over and then I will actually get the blog pictures fixed. I also have to finish up plans on the next Newer Knitters swap, which I have promised to post by Monday. I have all the info from the surveys and have the plans, I just need to get it all typed out. Hoping to have myself back to normal by Tuesday because this week is the week to go through the kids' rooms and throw away and store things they just don't use anymore. It's going to be a busy week!

The Beer Hat is done.

The Beer Hat is finished and I'm still working on the cardigan. So far things are going well, though I don't think I'll have enough yarn to make the wedding blanket as large as I want. I think Jo Ann's has the Vanna's Choice on sale 2/$5, so I'll just get some more. And I really need to start on my mother in law's wedding shawl. Pictures to come soon!

My Bobs arrived!

I ordered a Bob Ravelry sticker & a Bobicus Ravelympics pin. I know, I didn't participate in the event this year, but I am watching the progress and enjoyed the 50% profit donation to the special olympics. Here's the thing. I afraid to use either my pin or my sticker. I was going to put my sticker on my laptop, but it's dying and I hopefully won't have it a whole lot longer. And my pin, what if the back comes off, or it snags on something? I really need to work out these issues. And I think I need the daily dose of fiber bag.

As for project updates, I have three strips of the wedding blanket put together, I've started the bust decreases on the plath cardigan, and I'm still not done with the hat.

The Beer Hat

So E's company picnic was this past Saturday, and while I know a few people there (including some of his family), I still took my knitting. Granted after last week's dog episode, I was a little more cautious about what I took, but boo boos still happen. Meet Boomer & his beer.

Though not the same beer, Boomer spread beer all over the table, me, and my blue/green spiral hat. All of us were ok, the beer will of course wash out, and as a clumsy one myself (wasn't even his fault, he was bumped) I know accidents happen.

Blue/green hat shall now have it's name changed from 'Another spiral hat' to 'Beer Hat'.

Missing Old Pics fixed soon

I'm currently in the process of trying to get all my photos to one place. So there is currently a lack of pics in some of the old posts, though I did fix the Imperial Logo Hat already just in case someone somewhere uses it.

One day the pictures and I will truly be organized and I will actually have all of my personal old photos scanned into the computer for preservation. One day. When I have a scanner that will scan to my computer and a portable hard drive to store them all in. One day.
