Today is definitely looking up, well mostly. ¬†I did get stuck in another traffic jam on the way to the legal parking. ¬†There was no way I was going to make the train, so I hung a U-ey (3 point turn for those not in the know) and headed for the illegal parking. ¬†I made the train with time to spare. ¬† Yay. ¬†Now I’d be really happy to return home to a parking permit request form tonight. ¬†But in the meantime, I’ll alternate which station I park at so as to not attract attention. ¬†
Last night, as I hoped, I finished the Latte socks on the train home. ¬†I bound off the final stitch one stop before mine. ¬† So while the sock knitting is done, I wasn’t able to weave in the ends. ¬†I’ll do that tonight at home. ¬†But this meant I needed another purse/train/Sims project to keep me entertained. ¬†I broke out the ball winder and swift. ¬†This is a peek into my purse this morning on the train. ¬†Any guesses?
Beyond that, I’m very excited for the release of Sims 3! ¬†Look what I installed on my iPhone as soon as I got to the office:
Note I figured out that iPhones have screen capture built into them. ¬†How sweet is that? ¬†Anyway, while I can’t play because I really do have work to do, I did a quickie start:
Sweet. ¬†I’m now awaiting the phone call from the GameStop across the street that my copy of the PC/Mac game is awaiting my arrival. ¬†
I can’t tell you how happy I am that they are releasing both versions at the same time. ¬†With prior versions of the Sims, the Mac port was 6-12 months behind the PC release. ¬†Some expansion packs like Free Time and Apartment Life were never ported at all. ¬†Now? ¬†Both versions are in the same box. ¬†Double sweet. ¬†
Craft on!

I know what socks you’re knitting…la la la ;o)
btw, do you know the name of the vendor with the Neapolitan roving you bought at MA S&W? Dave Daniels just had a head explosion when he saw the wheel in the picture of you fondling the stuff…(on my blog)…there was big letters and everything, I’m kind of skeered. ;o)

You know what? After the sock, I have NO idea what you are talking about! Greek.

I could have told JessaLu that the wheel in question was a custom-finished Kromski Mazurka ’cause we stopped at that booth to look at it. Can’t remember the vendor, though!

I’m only slightly more in the know than Marcia. I’ve seen Sims in action. Beyond that, I don’t get it. I chuckle over your enthusiasm for it, but I don’t understand it. Garden dirt under my fingernails, fluff up my nose, horse knocking me around, fishhooked by a puppy – those I get, but Sims? Yeah. No. But it obviously makes you happy so yeah.
