My Forays into Fiber and other Geeky Things

The second post of August. I had best show you all what's on the needles, yes? Lets start with the newest project first. Around the beginning of June, I finished a few things. This for instance I had to go hunting for a pattern so it lay dormant The roving, merino of course, was from Carolyn of SeeKay Crafts I just loved spinning it. So much later I found a pattern and cast on Now it looks like this...... Carolyn, thanks for your colorway of "Spring Green" this is what it looks like knitted. Another thing on the needles since June is this pair of simple socks. Which are cleverly stashed in a "Harley Flames" box knitting bag by JessaLu Stitches. Yes, real men, knit, spin and carry project bags. And the red scarf is still coming along, I was hoping to have the first one done by Sept 1st.. Not happening... Btw, get out there and hike the trails these last few weekends of summer, but with this study, be prepared to go in circles

I don't know what happened here, turn my back and July is out the window. Summer is coming to an end in the North-Country and I want to deny it. Even today, Nature is giving it her best at a forecast high today of 91 degrees F (33 c) Meanwhile, that cranky old laptop of mine has again given up the ghost. The charging light would not come on even with the power tip being wiggled. You may have seen it before, here, acting as a background for some of my knitting. So out came the implements of destruction. Screwdriver, reading glasses, soldering iron solder and a flat surface..... Through the magic of the internet, we will speed an half an hour by. We are left with this.... You can barely see the red circle around the part I had to solder to make the laptop come back to life. I had previously replaced the power socket so I just hoped solder would fix the problem ...... It did. Meanwhile, I cast on Luscious Lace Scarf by Knitting Pixie I promise pics will follow, as soon I can get past
