I'm still around but we've been having computer problems. Major, lose everything on the computer, problems. We took it to the 'place with the Geeks' and they said the hard drive was shot so then we took it to a local computer repair place and they are going to give it a look see.
I've got years and years of pictures on that computer....sons' weddings, baby births, graduations, vacations....some printed out, some saved on a jump drive but I know there would be alot lost. Uff.
Well, we'll see what the computer repair guys say. I'm hoping they are GOOD!
The computer was a lemon from the word go....I hope it's replacement isn't the same!

Whatcha reading??
I'm reading Steig Larrson's "The Girl Who Played With Fire". But only after struggling to get past the prologue. That was a little upsetting.
I'm also reading Laura Bush's book "Spoken from the Heart". A book that actually has a bibliography and and index. How cool is that!? I haven't seen that since I was in school mumblemumble years ago and reading textbooks.
I'm liking both books but talk about diversity! :)
On the knitting front I have 2 repeats of the body to go on The Fountain Pen Shawl and the I'll just have the edging to do. I haven't looked at the pattern enough to know how many rows or how difficult that is.
I hope your day is as sunny and pleasant as mine looks to be.

Thank you knitting community
As I was sitting at my computer this morning looking at my blog and Ravelry I realize that I've advanced as a knitter A LOT since I found Ravelry and met people through blogs.
I've been able to see what others are doing and have had encouragement to try it myself and now I'm doing more than stockinette and ribbing. There are still a lot of things I haven't done, amoung them is steeking. That just seems wrong! :) But you know eventually I may try that too. I've now learned never to say never when it comes to knitting.
So here is my heartfelt Thank You to Ravelry and everyone in the knitting blog community. I'm able to knit lace and sweaters and socks! WooHoo!!
