Stuff

 Current sock had 4 and sometime 5 colours attached and last night just before 10 pm found a really bad mistake 5 rows down. Thinking it would be easy to fix pulled needles out. Dumb, dumb and dumber. It took until just after midnight to get it fixed and all stitches and patterns back on the needles. Air was blue with things I said and thought. Can bet I’ll never do it that again.

I thought I had the google cookie problem fixed, now. Geez it’s been difficult to figure out, so no pix this time again. I’ll keep looking and trying, I will beat this.

Maybe just maybe. My Niut mountains.

    I agree with previous comment - those are beautiful mountains! I live in Wisconsin (northern US), but have traveled over the years from the west coast (Vancouver ) to east coast (Prince Edward Island) in Canada and found beautiful and amazing scenery wherever we went. If you haven't been there you should put it on your bucket list.

    I find that sometime unladylike language is entirely called for to get the job done. Brava for figuring it out and knitting the sock back from the brink. There are some of us who would probably just burn the thing and call it a day.

Lost needle

 I use vintage 4 inch 2.25 mm needles for the fingers of my gloves, when one came up missing yesterday I was close to panic. Searched thru all possible places, even went so far as checking box of currently used stuff, zero. After giving it up to the needle eating monster, went for supper. After picked up another project and bingo the lost needle had been stuck into the ball of yarn on the project. RELIEF. Not at all sure I could buy the 4 inchers anymore. Had two late afternoon visits with Thunderman and Lightfoot, lots of noise and spectacular light show, followed by the most welcome heavy hard rain. Puddles in my driveway in just minutes. Since I last wrote made a trip to Prince George, BC to Subaru dealership, appointment Thursday at 8:30 for windshield replacement, had knitting with for the 4-5 hour wait. Car was finished just after 12:30, headed south, made it to 100 Mile House where I overnight at Super 8, then early Friday south again to Ashcroft and Desert Hills farms. Boug...

Christmas Eve

 THAT WAS THEN THIS  IS NOW In a fit of depravity I ripped the above sock out, just wasn't happy working on it, so now its toast. And I feel better even seeing the small leftover balls. Went thru all project bags looking for my Koigu yarn, and in the bag found a glove already started. Back now to my much loved gloves. A number of years ago traded two different people gloves for 5 balls of Koigu each (was much cheaper then). Plus had bought lots from eBay, so have enuff to make many more pair, especially since I save all left over little balls.  Eventually I'll go back to making socks (its in the blood). I'm not taking orders anymore tho, will just make what I like (especially Monster Socks).  Maybe now and then a pair of fair isle type. Its going to be a brown and mild Christmas, one of the few since I've lived here. Snow in forecast for the middle of next week. The  best part of the holiday season  (IMHO) is the World Junior Hockey tournament, in Europe...

This & That continued

 After adding last pix  to  previous  post, had problems with my computer. Couldn't get it  to do anything, so restart was in order. The space bar, double or triple a's and e's,  means  its time to shop for a new laptop or something. The  summer  so far hasn't  been to bad, temps in mid 20's  is  OK, some mornings  with single digit lows cools house nicely. Have  only  had one  fire in the area, north of Tatla Lake in Martin Lake area lots of men  on the  ground and helicopters in the sky kept careful track  of it until it was called held. Helicopters could fill the buckets from really close  Tatla Lake. Relief. And enuff rain in Tatlako that most  areas are still almost green. I  keep what  I call a go bag right by car keys, important stuff like passport, wallet, small amount of cash, change  of clothes etc.  Easy to grab if I had to leave in a hurry. My  ne...
