Yeah. That was a few days ago, which is why I haven't been posting. I had to get a new one (!!! glargh)...we'll see how this Toshiba does, but next time I may just get a Mac. The Geek Squad has no idea why my "video card" doesn't work, but they think there's also a problem with the "LCD screen" and the "motherboard," and they don't know why those things aren't working either. They said I must have dropped it. I did not. Thankfully I backed all my stuff up on an external hard drive.
Anyway, I will post a picture of the halfway-finished rainbow sock #1 very soon, as well as a picture of my brother's new hat, which he says he loves. He wore it to the Dartmouth v. Rutgers basketball game on Tuesday. Awesome.
Hey: a revised to-knit list. I realized that I can't finish all of those things before Christmas, so...
- Dad - cabled scarf.
- Mom - stole, Fetchings, maybe cabled scarf.
- Grandma - shawl.
- Adam - mittens to match hat, cabled scarf.
- Jenny - surprise things.
- Sarah - surprise things.
- Katie - the rest of a pair of socks.
I also want to knit myself some socks somewhere along the way!
I realized that Natalie is not really running that much anymore, so she doesn't need a headband; my sister might not wear the things I make for her (but if I have time I'll make her something); Stef (thank you!!!) said that her hat could wait; and Phil doesn't have a due-date attached to the scarf.
Oh yeah, I did the heel turn for the sock and that turned out fine (although I dropped a stitch in a post-turkey sedated state yesterday doing the gusset decreases, but whatever). I'll give a more detailed sock update later.
Happy belated Thanksgiving to everyone!!!

Another knit night would be awesome! I want to see your sock. I'm excited to see the Trekking--I have a couple balls of it, but I haven't gotten to use it yet. I looked up your colorway and it looks like it knits up nicely.
You are NOT kidding about being more into knitting than reading--I'm supposed to be writing a paper this weekend, but all I want to do is make mittens. Haven't even cracked the pile of paper 5s I'm supposed to be grading.
You can wait on Jenny's and my surprises too!!
