Classes in full swing

Oh boy. My classes are in full swing. I have never spent so much time on the computer NOT on Facebook!! Lots of reading and discussing!
Go to class is fun, we get to play with art stuff for 3 hours!

back to homework.

I have found the answer to knitters block!!

Listen to Wait Wait Don't Tell Me the podcast!!! I have cranked out 6" on the sleeve of my Wicked sweater. Just about ready to start on the last 2" which is the cross over cable pattern. Then on to sleeve #2.
2ll'd allison's grandma fixed the bind off problem on the bottom of the sweater then sent it back (Thank you). Sweater has been sitting since Tuesday. Nothing to do today so I have been on a mission to try and finish it.

how exciting! I tried something new!!! Here are some soup recipes to keep you warm this winter.

the end?

As you may have noticed, posts are not-so-much anymore. I blame FB and sister for getting me into it!!
As I look back on the year, knit wise, I didn't really accomplish that much, only 6 projects and 3 socks. A far cry from the hey day of purses and pairs of socks a month.
I did manage to make 3 sweaters (that 4th has been shipped to 2ll'd allisons grandma to finish)
I have lots of stash, but not really the whimsy to knit.
I did read a lot this past year, I think I counted right, 59 books!!! but I've had a book sitting on the bookshelf for a month, and didn't have nary the urge to open it.

One major change coming in the new year, I am going back to school!!! That is going to take up all the knitting and reading time. I'll be hitting the books and the internet (online class).

Wish me luck.

Happy New Year.
You may or may not see me here much, if you are on fb, and know my real identity, look me up.

so much to say!!!

and not so much time, so bullet points:

*computer is fixed, we have mother's old one, added new memory super fast!

*slowly slowly working on the Wicked sweater. 1/3 done with pocket, then on to sleeves

*also decided to cast on a scarf with left over "something red" yarn

*holidays coming, YIKES, almost done shopping

*still reading tons

*free time?? not so much anymore once January hits, more to come later ;)

oh happy day

Somehow the computer lady got the computer to work! All the data is saved. It is coming home tomorrow. I will have it hooked up on Wednesday, then we need to find the $$$ in the budget to buy a new tower. She doesn't recommend that we keep this one for much longer. It is 8 years old.....

Lots of hockey this weekend. Son #2 and hubby went to Traverse City. The won the tournament!! Son #1 and I drove up and down I-94 to Port Huron all weekend. His team was the runner up. (lost in championship game)
But everyone is happy.....and tired.

It's bad, REALLY REALLY bad

Had a call from the computer-fixer today.
She cannot pull any of my info from the old hard drive
over 600 songs in itunes
a year's worth of pictures
a bunch of word documents
I can't even fathom it

She wanted permission to buy a new hard drive, $50, she is still trying to make it work. I hope it does.
I am sad.
