aren vetches about nitting

My 'K' key is going bad, which is particularly annoying given what I frequently type.

I had a very nice day. I checked out some Pottery Barn furniture I'd seen on line to fill in spots in the new place in California and it looked surprisingly good. I found most of my short list of odds and ends we need for down there and don't already have in another place.

I even knit a few rows on my scarf. It felt amazingly satisfying, given that it's basically just 14 stitches of seed stitch, 7 per edge, and 41 of stockinette per row.

I keep thinking of setting up some default topics for the blog to make it easier to keep up by stockpiling posts for when I need them. (Just had to go back and add the k to make.) Does anyone else do this, aside from Saturday Sky? Tuesday would be for Technique Tips - too cute? I haven't gotten any put together yet. But I did add a couple to the comments when Birdsong asked for tips for the beginning lace knitters in the class she's teaching. Will that do for this week?

Okay, here're a couple more.

Dropping down to fix a mistake doesn't work on edge stitches. You end up with a big loop of yarn that previously turned the corner between rows and now doesn't want to spread out evenly over the new stitches, assuming you can actually figure out how to get the stitches into it in the right orientation, which I can't.

Do not try to compact an entire unused but expired tub of margarine in a trash compactor even if it's trans-fat-free. Luckily I have the kind of husband who cleans things up first, then tells me about them.

(I better get some blog photos tomorrow, huh?)

I'm sorry your 'k' is going bad! I had two whole rows go bad on my old laptop; apparently it's not unusual on Dell's, but it was still under extended warranty so they replaced it for free. =)

Happy Birthday! I didn't realize it yesterday but you share the same birthday as my brother! I hope you have fun!

I got your email, and I think I know what you're talking about. I've gotta run to class, but I'll write back this afternoon. =)

Thanks for a good chuckle!

I came back because it just hit me that it's your BIRTHDAY! I hope you enjoy it immensely!
