Real Post

January 16th, 2008 · 18 Comments

Finally a real post, eh? Yup. I figure this might hold y’all over while I get this new home unpacked and set up as we all like it. Please ignore the boxes piled up all over. I’m dealing with them slowly as I decide where to put things. I have some ideas, now I just need the time ;)

I have definitely still been knitting though, even finished an object! This is the first FO of the year. Amazing. I finished it Tuesday of last week, I think. I need to check my ravelry info to get the real dates, but tuesday feels right. It was a super quick project.

And now that the weather has gotten cold again, I will get to wear it. Tomorrow even.

As I had a dirth of sweater projects in thin yarn on tiny needles

I started another one this weekend.  One that has been marinating in stash now for just over a year!  One that has lived just outside my bathroom door for months now and has taunted me daily from there.    Meet Dacapo!  My first Hanne Falkenberg kit.  Loves it.

This is the kit #8, black/plum/blueberry.  I took this picture this morning on the way to the office.  You probably figured that out by the presence of sunlight!

I then took this picture so as to not appear to weird, though there’s little danger of that in NYC!

How’s that for a view?!¬† And I get to see it twice a day, more if I go thataway for lunch.

Anyway, I’m tired, been hacking too late too many nights in a row now (was futzing with the iPod Touch this evening – Apple’s charging $20 for the phone apps to install on existing Touchs that will be free for new ones – really pissed me off.¬† One word.¬† Jailbreak.¬† ) so I’ll leave you with this last picture.¬† Poor Serendipity had to go to the groomer again.¬† Like the long haired females in this house, Kat and myself included, she has a knotting problem.¬† While I am able with some bribery get Kat’s knots out, sadly, Sara got too bad, too fast for me to tackle.¬† Mea culpa.

There was no alternative.¬† The sad thing is that her coat took forever to grow back after last year’s shaving (like¬† I have a clue where to find that link now?!) somewhere in December.¬† She barely had an undercoat until about October.¬† Poor thing.¬† Which reminds me, I have a bit of a knot in my hair too.¬† Time to start wearing braids like my daughter.

Craft on!

PS – I did a little hacking around with my feeds.¬† Getting auto updates from here probably will be determined by when/what feed address you used to subscribe before.¬† Check the feed setting in your reader.¬† If it has typepad, you’ll unfortunately need to update it.¬† If it is for my own domain, you should be cool.¬† Another option, not that I think I’ll be moving again {snicker – this is the third home in just over 3 years}, you could use the feedburner link as that can be changed without any pain to you dear readers.

Moving

100_0035.jpgWell, moved that is….

 I see the feeds have caught up with the new spot, sort of.  Content from Typepad, link, thanks to DNS comes here. 

I have a real post brewing in my head but I wanted to prevent all sorts of 404 errors for y’all and give you a real landing spot.
