I'm Trying to Get Organized...

It isn't easy putting your computer back together again. It's so overwhelming. There was some good news. My old hard drive is still installed and I have access to my data [it just wouldn't boot with my system for some reason] which means I have all my patterns...which also means I did another back-up to ensure that all is saved and tucked neatly away. I didn't have internet connection when I got my computer back either because, wonder of wonders, the storm blew my ethernet card and hub, too. I am still having some struggles with certain programs. They load properly, but when I go to use them, I get an error. I'll deal with that later.

So, now I'm in the process of catching up on emails, [begging your pardon Marlene!! I'll get back to you soon. Thank you for the info. Now I want both!] and blog reading.

Now, blog reading is fun. It's fun to see what other knitter's are making and seeing new yarns, etc...but it can be dangerous, too. See, I have fallen victim to the lemming effect. After reading the Yarn Harlot's post yesterday and nodding my agreement and swearing I wasn't going to click any links and well, you see where this is going, right?

I clicked links.

Now, I also read Moth Heaven but I hadn't hit her blog yet...and well, I did and then I hit on over to Lacefreak and saw all the pretty beads and then I clicked on over to Pink Lemon Twist and see more beads and well, I started digging through stash looking for laceweight and beads like a starving monkey on a banana diet. I had to have it.

So, I joined.

Forget the yarn I spun to make the Estonian Sheep puppet from last summers Spin Off...






Forget the Giotto socks that I'm so in love with...


I just tossed it all aside to join Mystery Stole 3, which closes its doors at midnight tonight. So, if you want to join, do it now!

*Sigh* Isn't being a knitter the best.

Keep On Knitting...
