MS 3 finished and blocked ! Cat Trouble ! Last Post Previewed and Not Saved! Starting Over!!

My title explains why I am kinda seethy right now. I love computers. OK :

Last night was a mess. I was too tired to block. Did anyway, just couldn't wait! Gateway cat couldn't wait either. Was totally insistent he was going to help - actively! Pouncing, full of cat glee, which everyone knows is a sure fire recipe for trouble. Finally I had to discipline him, did what usually works - held him down by the scruff of his irritating little neck and talked fiercely to him. Only this time he only got mad! Finally had to put him outside so I wouldn't have to stick pins in him and stake him out to block. Picture of stole is here somewhere.

I am SO grateful to so many kind people who wrote, helping me in my hour of stole desperation! Fiber folk are definitely the most generous people around. Imagine having a wonderful Norwegian ( hi, AnneB ) writing out line by line instructions for me! With that and a lot of other help, I got it done. Thank you all . Now, I am not saying the mistake area looks just like all the rest, but it is close enough I don't think anyone who didn't know about it would see it. In fixing it, I redid it about 3 or 4 times. Can't say enough about that wonderful Zephyr yarn, holding up to my re-re-re tinking it.

This picture shows where my mistake is. The bead straight down from the letter'p' in picture is it. See, not too bad at all.

Here is a picture of my little harvest of yesterday. Kinda pretty, but it is on a regular sized saucer. Not the biggest tomato! Was very tasty though.

Gateway thinks tomatoes are small potatoes next to pics of him. Also had to put up the family of turkeys outside the computer room window the other day. Must have had something very tasty in that grass.

Hey guess what. Go ahead. Ok, I got my Ravelry invite tonight. All I can say is Wow! If I had a problem using up too much time on the computer before......there is So Much great stuff on Ravelry! And that led me to cold -brewing coffee, a really cool video about making wrist warmers and knitted shoes and making shrinky dink type jewelry and you get the idea. I am definitely in trouble now.

MS 3 was such a satisfying knit. Now I have a Rob Roy shawl, my box charka to get going on, a Peace Fleece sweater I just have to put together ( for me). an afghan I meant to have ready for my step dil last Christmas, spinning on the wheel. I have to use up some stash, yarn and fiber. I just can't justify getting more. But then, who wants to go around justifying everything anyway...... hope you are having a good time too!
