The color and composition is so diffrent without the flash for these socks. The color is truer without the flash.
This one is using Patons’ Merino Natural Marl. It’s a much thicker yarn and knits up much quicker but I wonder if it will be comfortable to wear. We’ll find out.
The throat is flaming but Dayquil took care of it. Called off work again, better to keep the germs to myself. But I’m going to take benny for a haircut. He’s got knots all over, I’m afraid he’s gonna come back looking like a big mouse again. But that should keep him cool for the summer.
Firewood may be delivered this weekend and thinking about getting those cast iron lawn chairs and table to replace my broken plastic ones. I’m almost set for the summer.
I guess there is no comparison between a real camera and a make believe one. The last two from my cell phone are .. yucky, no matter what mode I put it in.
Changed the setting to fine. And this one is 1.2 meg instead of 800K.
With a lot of fuss, finally got a pic from my Nikon camera. Guess I need to take some lessons on how to take pictures.
I started to feel sick as the day went on. Sore throat got worse, backache started. Took some mega Vitamin C hoping to ward off whatever it is. It didn’t help much. By 2:30p, I wanted to go home and lay down. But logs are not all on the new server, and the only profile was having problem, and all of a sudden, questions and problems flew in like a storm. I couldn’t get out till after 5pm. Barely craweled in the car and got home with aches all over. Probably a cold is coming on. Tido cuddled with me for a nap and now I’m up and still achy.
Maybe I’ll get a sick day tomorrow.
Of course inspector benny and tido have to make sure the sock is up to par. But they won’t stay still for a pose.
Came home from work, got a beer from the frig and headed out to the pool to clean the filter, skim the leaves, put away stuff to the garage and plant some herbs in the pots that Leo has brought over. Need to get more planting soil for basil and cilantro. Put a couple of laundry in the wash, sprayed weed killer in the drive way, clean the kitty litter box. And knitted.
The 7 hours at home passed so much faster than the 9 hours at work. And every night I have to tell myself to go to bed by midnight so I can get up in the morning.
Jason came to tell me that the webtrends server crashed at the end of the day. Contacted paul and he got me a senior tech support to talk to, got me the license key and downloaded the software in preparation to install it on a new server if we can’t revive the hard drive. It’s going to be a busy few days coming up.
And it’s midnight again and should go to bed now, dance classes tomorrow night, it’s going to be a long day.
Turned the heel on the 2nd sock two nights ago only to find out that I picked the wrong 1/2 to turn the heel on. It’s half in the front and half at the bottom. So at 12 midnight, I tore the whole heel out and went to bed.
Looked at my shawl too but decided to cleanup my closet instead the same night. Dancing classes last night and came home exhausted and went to bed after food and shower.
Maybe better luck tonight.
