It was cold and rainy around here, especially today. I've lost my camera to computer cord so I can't post pics. (wonder if I left it at my son's? I thought I got everything.....). No sewing, though I drafted a bag to hold my knitting needles. How's that for being crafty? Did a little Christmas shopping yesterday. We're not doing much this year, going to Vegas for Christmas (sounds like a bad movie, I think). My son's gift is his car. We went to Best Buy this morning and bought each other computers. For years we've used our work computers for everything, but security is tightening around IT and loosening around job continuation so getting our personal stuff off work computers seems like a good idea. This is my first blog post from the new computer. Doesn't it smell new? Spent the day setting them up. I need a cord I have a work to transfer files from one to another. Sounds like a plan for tomorrow night. Then my photo's, embroidery files and tax data will be mine, all mine.
We bought Sony Vaio's, the same so we can share cords, etc. Apparently we picked the most popular model of the year, we had to go to 2 Best Buy's to get them and one still had been "Geeked" by the squad. (Warren was NOT happy about that, no sirree, Bob. Not happy at all).
Frogged and restarted Kevin's scarf. Couple of mistakes I just couldn't ignore and didn't know how to fix the cables. Warren keeps asking me why nothing I knit ever gets any bigger. How long would it take to knit a 6' shroud? And should I use worsted weight or chunky? Hmmm, given his recent weight gain, I should probably go with chunky.... I took some photo's of my yarn and the scarf, but, alas no way to get them to the computer.

Computers are a nice gift to yourselves, and going to Vegas too? Wow. I hate setting up new computers, putting my programs back on, etc. I always dread it.
ReplyDeleteI think a miniature shroud that could double as a gag? Only joking, doesn't he know he will never get that aran sweater he has wanted for years if he says that sort of thing? And that needles are pointy just sufficiently to cause pain without blood loss? Brave man.
ReplyDeleteBeebee, thanks for the laughs! VtMartha
ReplyDeleteAha! I think I know what's going on. My camera-to-computer cord disappeared too. I have a feeling our cords have eloped and will never be seen again (they have my best wishes). Hans got me a zippy little converter card (and even though I already broke the hinged lid on it, it still works) so I'm back in action again!
