« how sweet it is | Main | knitting pretty »


may 9, 2003

how's a girl supposed to blog around here?

No progress pictures today. I am sorry to say that my digital camera is no more. It only manages to turn on and take black pictures now. I guess I ran the thing into the ground. Or perhaps I let it fall on the ground a few times too many! What ever the reason, it's a goner. Now I've got to contend with no internet connection and no camera for the knitalongs. Poop.

Despite not being able to photographically record my progress or get to the computer to blog about it, I have been knitting. I finished the body of sweetness up to the yoke and did the side seams for my husband's vest. Maybe I can finish one of these two by next week before the knitalongs begin. I'm in no rush though. I've decided to relax through the summer knitting. The yarn won't go bad if I don't get something done. I can make it next year. And the pressure's really off to start on the boys' summer shirts, since I can only get giant short-sleeved t-shirts over B's cast!

To do by next Thursday:

  • Figure out how to use video camera to take knitting pictures.

  • Call in miracle and get RCN to install our phone/cable/modem. (That's right, we've also got no phone or access to Nick Jr!)

  • Finish either brown butter or sweetness (ugh, all those ends!)

  • Decide on stripes for Pagan and do some swatching already.

  • Find time in day to at least check blogs of fellow knit-alongers!

Have a good weekend everyone. And if I don't get a chance to blog before then, happy mothers day to all you moms out there!

Hey, they now have disposable digital camera's. I haven't used one but I have seen them advertised. Perhaps that is a 'quick fix' for you?

Can't wait for the knit-along to start! I have my yarn all ready to go and everything.

Oh, man! You really are in a pickle, aren't you? You sound amazingly calm, though. Must be the knitting. Happy Mother's Day to you ~
