I’m at school, where the internet works with glorious speed. So here’s the first of several delayed posts:

Lookie what I got! When Canon said they’d send me my new camera in two business days, they weren’t kidding. It came in the mail yesterday. So now I’ve got a regular FO-fest for you guys (with more to come… one of my new FOs now resides in Kentucky, where I’ll be headed this afternoon […]

That’s right. My camera bit it this morning. I don’t know what happened, it just wouldn’t turn on. I thought the batteries might have died, so I recharged them. No go. I called Canon and they confirmed what I suspected. With no trauma and little prolongment, my camera (at the […]

Back again…
First, and most importantly, thank you all for your kind words re: my knitting and (more importantly) the mid-winter blues. I know there’s lots of ‘debate’ out there about the line between knitting and the personal, and I appreciate all your support. It’s nice being home and tomorrow, I head to Boston […]
