hi!!!

hi! i'm back! my macbook (yes, my NEW macbook!!!) crapped out (random shutdown syndrome, i.e. it would randomly SHUTOFF!) and i JUST got it back after over 2 weeks without it(!). everyone ready for an update??? ready? GO!

since last time i have gone back to work (meh) and am on the bus for extended amounts of time. it sucks to be commuting for up to 3 hours a day (and this is with no snow or any of that fun stuff). but at least i am knitting most of the time i'm commuting (though i do have to drive 20 min to the bus stop...).

i have finished my shadow shawl. YEA! no pics though, it needs to be blocked first. more about this to come.

i have made my mom 3 dishcloths. nothing fancy. but she likes them.

made myself a hallowig. i had started it almost 2 years ago. i had to start over as i didn't realize at the time that i was twisting my stitches as i knitted...



i was going to make one for evie so she could have some hair, but i am not crazy about mine so that fell off to the side for now. mine came out too big and too long. i could fix it but... meh. so much yarn, so little time. maybe later!

since i didn't have any of my downloaded patterns (on my computer), i started what i could. i finally started evie's pinwheel blanket! it's gorgeous! i LOVE it! it's going very fast. i had 4 skeins of koigu when i started, i'm currently into my third. one more to go! knitting it on size 6 addi turbos.



it's prettier in real lighting and with a real camera (isight/photobooth pic)

i am so excited to have my computer back!!! i have missed all of you! i have missed my podcasts, brenda dayne, cast on rocks!

oh, and as many of you have seen, last sunday i met the harlot again! this time in eau claire. we left evie at home with nana and i went as far away from evie as i have ever been. i wanted to bring her along, but it was an hour and a half drive, a little too long for her. she kinda doens't like the car too much at all. anyway. the harlot was hilarious and wonderful as always. pics to come.
