Hey Kate!

Wanna get your inner nerd all riled up? Look at this link from EW. I only got to the third choice before my head started spinning. It was getting limber on choice 2. I fear what comes next.

I’m too tired to right write anymore. /whine

Later!

Robin

HA!

Hey Robin,
Betcha didn’t think i was gonna write “from the road” didja? Huh huh? I am comandeering Dad’s wonderful laptop while he is doing other things… and trying to decide how many of the LYSs listed in the Glendale area actually still exist… and then how many of them i can get to in the matter of a few hours. Hee.

No pics todaybecause #1: I didn’t bring my camera… and #2 I can’t figure out how to dl pics from Dad’s camera to this ‘puter. I got lots of action shots of him dancing wearing… the Kilt Hose Toppers that i made for him! Yes. My Dad does Scottish Country dancing, which is a bit like square dancing, though a bit older I would guess. His group had a big shin-dig last night and i got to go watch (no thank you, my two left foots have been declared dangerous, and are not allowed too close to other dancing feet). Too fun!

Oh and I think we’re finally going to go see the new HP movie today. Yay!

Can’t wait to see ya tomorrow!
Later,
Kate

Hey Kate!

There are many times I wish I had that time-thingy Hermione had. But I don’t. So I end up getting nothing done but work and sleep, and not much of that. Yesterday, however, I was able to fit in a little mommy time and that of course means feeding my yarn addiction.

And during work I was able to work on my purse a bit:


And I had a breakthrough on my sock! Ok, I know it doesn’t look like much, but I don’t think I’ll be frogging it again. I had been casting on two kneedles because I cast on so tightly and she said to cast on very loosely in that tutorial. And the stitches just fall right off my shiny, new kneedles. So last night I cast on using just one kneedle and tried really hard to just be loose and now I am actually on row 2!

And of course I had to play with my new yarn. So I started to swatch on #9 kneedles.


And I have to say that my love affair with the Boye Interchangeable kneedle set is now officially over. The #1, 2 and 3 kneedles are all smaller than the join, which is just criminal. How do you sell those three sizes in your kit if they can’t be used? And the small length of cord that I’m using above is so stiff that it is hard to get the kneedles together. Grawr!

And the look on Emme’s face tells you what she thinks of the case.

The yarn is so lovely though. I hope one ball is enough to make a hat.

Later,

Robin

P.S. *This movie is a bit of fun to stitch and weep to.
