I have both broken (not fatally, just damaged) and momentarily misplaced my camera. I am certain that I will both a) figure out where I put it and b) take it to Best Buy and hope they will make good on the extended warranty my husband got on it when he bought it for me. (I do love Best Buy.)
Last Friday was Friday the 13th and I have a confession: I fell off the Resolution wagon at about 11:30 p.m. on the 12th. See, my dearly beloved sister-in-law visited RC and saw this post about her dish rags and really really wanted a Tribble. Lori is good and kind and sweet to me and doesn't ask for much and so, I gave in and knitted Tribbles for her. This is not to say that others are not good and kind to me, nor do I mean to imply that others are not equally deserving of the knitted things on my docket for them. Put very simply, Tribbles are a nifty pick-me-up little knit - nearly instant gratification knitting, that uses very little yarn...and I am weak.
Speaking of Lori, if you haven't seen the short film The Landlord with Will Ferrell, stop by Lori's blog and watch it.
I took pictures of the of the Tribbles but alas, as mentioned above, the camera is temporarily out of commission.
I am going to need to revisit my knitting Resolution list, add and subtract (mostly add, I'm guessing) as appropriate and perhaps give myself a little extra time. Perhaps I'll have more success between now and the next Friday the 13th. June 13, 2008. I like realistic goals.
Beyond that, I have accomplished very little knitting in the last week. I have knit and unknit about 700 miles of yarn in the last 8 days because I am trying valiantly to learn to knit socks from the toe-up, based mainly on the article by Ann Budd in the Summer Interweave Knits. RC and Charity and I are having an informal little knit-a-long of the toe-up socks...I think this amounts to more of a toe-up sock support group than KAL. Call it what you will.
Tomorrow I am going to borrow the Mister's camera because I have goodies to share! I got a wonderful package in the mail on Thursday from the ever generous Joanie. Two skeins of yarny goodness from KnitPicks and something wonderful and perfect that she knit just for me! I am so jazzed - knowing that another knitter has taken her precious knitting time and made a beautiful something for me is simply magnificent. Thank you so much, Joanie!!! I love my gifts and I'll be posting pictures soon.

I love my tribbles!
I am sorry I caused you to be weak.
But still, I love my tribbles.
Thank you very much!
She came to my blog and didn't say HI????!!!
and me who has a BOX OF BRAND NEW TRIBBLES waiting to be gifted???
you could have mentioned this and they would have been yours. I'm just sayin.
I need to post about the socks too... how is Charity making out?
I'm casting on this afternoon for the socks! Just got home last night from Jasper (who knew Jasper had a yarn shop? what could be better?) :0)
Can't wait to see your goodies! Hope the camera fairy fixes your camera soon. (And in the meantime, hooray for hubbies who share.)
I'm impressed with the toe-up undertaking. Good thing you have a support group helping you out!
I'll lend support too! Although, honestly, some of that support will be nagging you to beg, borrow, or buy Sensational Knitted Socks because it's so so so very helpful.
