I'm a bad, bad blogger

I've really lost the mojo. I'm hoping it comes back in the fall! I think posting will continue to be sporadic, though I do have a lot of things to tell everyone about. Such as my new pair of socks on the needles, pictured here. Pattern is Giotto by Anna Bell, the yarn is Claudia Fingering in Jill's Pinks. A fun pattern to help with the boring stockinette blues of my other three socks.
My lovely, wonderful brother sent me a computer to replace my dead as a doorknob Compaq. It's a Dell, dude. I lurve it. It's very fast and energetic.Bonus-he sent me a doohickey to get my old hard drive out of my Compaq and so I didn't lose any data. Huzzah!
My darling B came back from Eastern Europe bearing the most lovely Hungarian embroidery/lace piece, as well as some Czech pottery. I hope to have pictures that do them justice soon. Check this out...he is willing to go to Rhinebeck with me. What a guy!!
My sister is getting married! Yay! This has prompted a serious reckoning in the "must buckle down and get in shape" department since I have to look fabulous in a dress by March. I may knit myself a lace wrap to go with the dress too...but I have to vet that with my sis.
Hope everyone's summer is going well! I'm keeping up with your blogs, even if I don't comment every time!





The sock looks great! Love the colors.

That is just the prettiest yarn and looks so feminine in that pattern. Glad the computer woes are over. Looking forward to the European treasures. Your B sounds like a treasure too. Hey, I may be going to Rhinebeck too! Very nice about your sister. A lace wrap will be a lovely accessory. I bet she is going to want one too. Whew, a lot to comment on!
