  • gratuitous log cabin photos

    I’m so relieved, I can hardly tell you. I wrote my last exam for the session on Thursday afternoon and promptly went shopping. I really need to get my giftmas act together – I’m feeling the crafty vibe! I’m planning on making some cards and printing some wrapping paper, and I need to sew up some presents as well. Yay!

    I finished up the Log Cabin blankie this week as well:

    Log Cabin Blankie
    Pattern: basics from Mason-Dixon Knitting; strips were about 10 ridges deep.
    Needles: Denise US10
    Yarn: All my own handspun, handdyed merinos! There’s a good couple of early ones in there, as well as oddballs that were completely used up (yay). It’s a whole lotta yarn!
    Finished Size: approx. 48″ by 48″

    How big is that?

    Closeup. The fabric is nice and heavy.

    And the back – quite neat, really. I knit in some ends as I went.

    It’s just lovely. Just lovely.

    I have knitting to show! Not right now though, unfortunately…right after my exam tomorrow. It’s going to be sweet.

    In the meanwhile, hopefully some of you techy-types might have a bit of insight for me. My old (G3) ibook has been exhibiting some strange behaviour.

    Mysterious Computer Problem #1:
    Not being assigned an IP address. Might be to do with the router rather than my computer, but weird nonetheless. I think it started happing after I did a software update (security update) but I can’t be sure. I wasn’t able to get on the internet this morning again because of it, but when I mooched off someone else’s wireless and then went back to my own, it worked.

    Mysterious Computer Problem #2:
    Battery gauge not working. I unplugged my computer so I could move it around the room (to mooch wireless signal) and now it seems to be stuck at 90% when clearly it should be going down. When I plug in the charger it turns orange (meaning it’s charging) but the gauge doesn’t register it being plugged in, and the charge doesn’t rise. It’s been stuck at 90% for over half an hour now.

    So strange. Help?

  • kinda in the loop

    Just a quick note amongst the hardcore crammage: lettuce knit’s holiday/anniversary party has been postponed from this Wednesday to next (the 20th).

    This is a great thing for me, because a) perhaps I shall be able to eat wheat and dairy by then (today’s my dairy re-intro day! yay cheese!) and b) I have an exam on Thursday.

    back to it.
