Our long national nightmare is over!
I have internet access! It seems to be intermittent, but I have it! Any is better than none!
I did learn something about myself, though. I’ve been blaming the internet for me staying up too late. However, with no internet, I actually stayed up later doing other projects. One knitting project in particular I had had in mind since a friend had a new baby enter her life, and I had even ordered the yarn for it and was figuring out the best way to do it. Well, the yarn arrived, and I charted the design, did the math, wrote up the pattern, and knitted the item last night. I won’t tell you how late I was up, as my mother reads this blog and I don’t want her death on my hands.
I’ll post a pic after it’s safely in the recipient’s hands. Or maybe over in the knitting community – the colorwork wasn’t my best, but I’m still pleased with how it turned out.
In other knitting news, I finished the mondo scarf. The hubby was out of town, so I had to make do with a secondary digital camera. No, I am not complaining about having to use the second digital camera. That’s like complaining about having to take the year-old Porsche out for a spin because the new one’s in the shop.
I took copious notes, and snapped pics of the inside and of attaching the fringe so that I can work up a tutorial or pattern should anyone else be interested. Double-knitting is good stuff. It’s on its way now to a Browncoat in Canada, and I hope its double thickness keeps her toasty warm in style.
The hubby has arrived back home from his trip out of town, and I am happy. Now we can watch the Arrested Developments I recorded on Friday. Assuming I don’t fall asleep first.
