Last Monday's snowday gave me some time to look through old projects. I found my Lo-Tech Sweat so close to done that I finished the hood and washed all the pieces. Just tell me WHY I made this pattern when I hate to sew pieces together. I still have to put the buttonband on, so who knows when it will really be finished!
I've been really busy with this class. I have to research funding, policy, etc. for technology education. Blech! It's not what I want to do, but it's necessary for the certificate, so suffer I do. But not without successfully casting on and beginning my FIRST toe up sock. I tried Anna Zilboorg's (why did she change the name from Fancy Feet to Simply Socks?) figure eight cast on and was swearing up a storm. Then I remembered I bought Claudia's Logical Toe-Up Sock pattern a couple of years ago.
Maybe someday I'll have some weaving to talk about...(insert pitiful sigh). In the meantime, take a spin around the WeaveRing. There are some great things going on.
I think Anna Zilboorg's publisher changed the name when they reprinted it, about a week before Priscila Gibson-Roberts published _Simple Socks_. I'm sure they weren't trying to build sales off the name confusion -- NOT. Worth owning regardless of the title, though.
ReplyDeletePretty sock yarn--what is it? Not Trekking by any chance? I'm always on the lookout for attractive sock yarn.

ReplyDeleteI went through something similar with my 20 mg iPod. It would
lose its place in Audible books. It also started freezing up and
doing other odd things, but it would only do them if the iPod
did an auto-shutoff. I ended up rolling back one or two upgrades
of the iPod system os and that solved the problem. I'm sure
they've come out with other upgrades since then, but you might
want to do a quick search in the iPod/iTunes forums and see
if anyone else knows anything about it.
I haven't seen anything like this with the iPod video, but I did
have to scrub it and reinstall once about a month after I got it.
I've also had intermittent USB issues, but I'm not sure if that's
my laptop or the iPod.
Yummy wool, Charleen. I haven't got around to seriously dyeing wool yet, though I have plenty here in my dye business. I also want to try weaving but have too much on my plate this year. You can join the Dyers Webring if you want - it's not just for fabric dyers.
