comin’ around again

Whew… what a morning.  One of the things I do (not all together well) is to put together proposals for our company.  I’ve been scanning and printing and wishing I had learned and not forgotten the little bit I DID glean from that online Photoshop class ( that nearly gave me an ulcer and landed me on Nexium for a couple weeks from leaning forward, tense and frustrated and wanting to smash my computer for hours and hours on end)  I took last summer.  I took that class primarily on dial-up..  never again.  I want someone nearby, that uses the same version of the program, on and on…   ah well…

This lace knitting has got me, really.  It just holds my attention.  I’ve almost finished the Branching Out scarf..  I wonder how much I can stretch that bugger when I block it, it’s almost 40" so far.  Figuring that I should finish it tonight, I’ve dug out my lace leaf socks, I’ve got 1/2 of the first sock done.  It’s beautiful and I wish I could just remember where I put the pattern or what book / magazine I found it in, without having to search around for it.  Somehow, yeah, guess why, I put it aside without it’s pattern, a definite NO NO!  Always, always, keep a copy of the pattern with the project.  This is how I left it…  well not exactly, there a two more repeats, but that’s the last time I remember it and that was in Honduras last year.

And while looking for that picture, I found another that reminded me of another project that isn’t terribly far from completion,  though for the life of me I can’t tell you just how far.  Better dig it out, heck, I could wear it, and I’m into this stuff… 

Me and my projects are a lot like the seasons, coming around again.
