    Now that I’ve gotten that out, a bit of knitting progress? I’ve been working really crazily all week, so there hasn’t been that much knitting for me. But I’ve made a good dent in the first sleeve/yoke of Choco-belle:

    But I’m not so sure about it. It seems really wide, for one – and the pattern increases the sleeve by 12 more stitches! I left those off, planning to just add them in when I cast on for the yoke sections. But it still seems so big and bulky. I don’t know, I suppose this is going to have to have a time-out for awhile.

    Apropos of nothing, here’s a jaunty snow woman that my sister and I built in the driveway (mostly to use up snow from that last big storm, and therefore less shoveling).

    Hee!

  • happiness in a white box

    Doorbell ringing Monday morning got me out of bed right quick.

    Ooooh!

    Only Apple would have styrofoam this awesome.

    Hurray!

    my precious

    New and old.

    I spent all yesterday evening playing with my new computer, moving stuff over from my old (G3, circa 2003) iBook, and futzing with settings. Two finger scroll? Awesome. One-touch right-click? Awesome. Seriously, I loved my old iBook, but I am in a whole lotta love with my new Macbook.

    And today?

    I made it some new clothes!

    My Button Raglan is today’s entry in the 2008 Stitch ‘n Bitch Page-A-Day Calendar! The content of the calendar seems pretty good, although I’m not sooo hot on the format (each page is completely individual, with no way to flip through, and if you dropped/lost a page or something you’d be screwed). My first on-paper in print!

    Hope your Valentine’s Day was good. I’m not such a huge Valentine’s person, but that isn’t to say that I don’t enjoy it anyway! I did get a pretty awesome plant.
