Crazy computers

Have you ever wanted to toss your computer out the window?  Just pick it up, wires dangling and heave the sucker out onto the pavement?  Think of the satisfying crash as plastic and metal smashed and splintered off into a zillion pieces.  Then, maybe, you could back your car over it. CRUNCH. 

Ahhh... to dream. 

After weeks of dealing with a blogging program that randomly drops pictures, magically creates invisible entries, and at times refuses to load at all, I was *this* close to heaving something out the window.  

Luckily, Peter had another plan in mind. He fixed it.  He rebuilt the entire blog AND website. Brilliant man.  Brilliant of me to marry him. Maybe I should work on his sweater. 

But first, I have some blogging to catch up on.  Did everyone notice that the new knitty.com is up? My favorites are Henry, Foliage, and Boxed by Amy of Spunky Eclectic.  Congrats Amy!

Ok  - is it just me, or would Malabrigo be perfect for all three of these projects???

Many completed works have been coming by the shop to say hello and I am sorry it has taken this long to showcase them here (again, the aforementioned computer issues). 

First up is a bit of Harry Potter stitchery.  Marcia is making hats, scarves, and socks for her very lucky grandchildren.  I saw an almost finished scarf on Tuesday.  Here are the completed hats:

Cindy stopped by with a felted bag out of Malabrigo.  (Sorry I missed you!)

Sarah made good use of her vacation time and finished her first fair isle project.  This bag is done with Cascade 220 and Noro Kureyon.  The Kureyon does all the color work for you - a great way to learn fair isle!

Scott finished another market bag.  He is saving the Earth, one stitch at a time!

Marcia dropped off a matching set of knitted knockers. These are just too fun!

This next one isn't a completed project yet, but the colors are so much fun, I had to include it.  Lesley is making her second pair of socks out of Spunky Skinny Socks in the Parrot Bay colorway.

Terri finished the felted tote for her upcoming felting class.  Here is the pre-felt pic.  She too used Spunky yarn.  This one is Big Ball Chunky in the Mandy color.

And speaking of Mandy... she's back!!! Yay! After taking some time off with new baby, Mandy is with us at the shop again.  We're thrilled she'll be joining us for Knit at Night.

I have lots more to report - new yarns, new books, new knitting - but that will have to wait until tomorrow.
