AWOL

I haven't posted for a long time. It's just that I dread the whole photobucket thing. I will try to update a little. I am using my brother-in-law's computer because I am in Hinckley, Ohio at the moment. He has DSL so, if I could post a photo here, it would be quicker, but I don't think his computer will jive with my camera.

Anyway, I did want to report having met Knitting Nurse and her Sit-n-Knit group last night. We had a wonderful time and I was able to deliver her Yarntopia sock yarn to her. What fun to get to meet and compare notes with someone I have only known "electonically", so to speak. She was really lovely. (Note to Amy: remember to ask me about beaded purses. These Ohio ladies are crazy over them and Texas ladies would be too, I'll bet. Doesn't matter what the temperature is, you know.)

I've been knitting a lot, but only little things. I did finish the brown man's scarf I had set as a K2 on Catherine's blog. I finished at noon on the second day. (Note to Catherine: I'll set a more significant goal soon. I have yarn for a cardigan for my husband.)

With all the waiting in the airport (our plane was over an hour late taking off)and the 3 hours on the plane, I finished one baby feet wash cloth and started another. I shared the pattern with the Ohio ladies and they were really excited about it. It is at the knittingknonsense website.

I have started a pair of socks with the free yarn we got when Amy and I went to TNNA in Indianapolis.

And speaking of TNNA, I also finished a shawl from the yarn that I won on Tabby Tuxedo's blog. It was basically half of a reeeeealy big wash cloth with stockinette for the center instead of garter stitch. I wore it everyday in Indianapolis. It was cold and rainy there. Too much for a Texas gal.

Oh! and I forgot to report that I finished my Yarntopia socks a LOOOOOONG time ago, just never reported that. I used a basic 2 on 2 ribbing pattern with short row shaping for the heel and toe. They turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself.

We will be doing a lot of riding around Ohio and visiting relatives, so I will probably make good progress on the small things I brought on the trip. I promise I will post some pictures when I get home.
