one of THOSE days!!

ARGH!!! do you ever have one of those days? today was one for me - actually it started yesterday! let me preface this by saying that i am NOT a techno nerd!! i know just enough to be dangerous but not enough to be techno astute! i am most happy to report that i finished the "halcyon scarf" by jenni chase that is available on the winter '08 knitty website. i really buckled down and rode it hard until i reached the end on wednesday night. i blocked it thursday morning and proceeded to take pictures with my digital camera as i usually do. with pictures in camera i was ready to begin downloading the pictures when trouble set in - the computer would not recognize my camera and open the program for downloading! so after spending the past two days uninstalling, installing, uninstalling, installing, spending way too much time on the hp website - i finally managed to download my pictures! ARGH!! right now, i don't know whether to jump for joy or sulk around with a curled lip! i'd really like to meet the person who said that computers were going to make our lives so much easier and give us so much extra time!!

on the knitting front, i have started a vest affair that i found on the spring '08 knitty website. all has been going well - quick knit in super bulky yarn - until i reached the point of passing the stitches of the rolled sleeve through the cast on holes to bind off. sounds simple, should be simple, but i have now taken it apart three times!! ARGH!! i guess i'll tackle it again this evening after a couple of glasses of cheer! it can't hurt!!

i'm also hard at work on finishing up my second rockin' sock club sock - i decided that finishing this was imperative as i got the drift on the rsc website that a new batch of yarn is on its way. i made a promise to myself that if i gave myself this membership as my birthday gift that i would keep up with the projects soooooo time to put up or shut up!!
