offline until next Thursday...

Due to some lovely technical difficulties, I have to wait until this Thursday for my internet connection to be working at our new home. Our original order seems to have vanished from the ISP records-joy. I'm writing this from the old house while I'm cleaning -gotta take a break now and then. Hopefully, we'll be back online Thursday, Feb. 2. We are loving our new home and are keeping busy unpacking boxes and trying to figure out where to put things...the usual moving into a new place. The kiddos are enjoying the echo effect in the new house (we have wood floors throughout that need throw rugs) and their new yard (hurray for the beautiful weather we are having today!). I better get back to cleaning! Miss all my blogging and knitting buddies!

Boogie Knits - Free Sock Pattern Links

~Thanks, Amy for compiling these links!~

thx...

Thank you all for your congrats about the house! We are really excited! I've been busy packing today in anticipation of the move this week. It is a local move, so the actual moving part coming up at the end of this week won't be as bad as our previous moves. I'm going to go lay on the couch and rest before tackling dinner prep. Hope there is something good waiting on TiVo for me!

• "Mastered" the crocheted granny square on Friday thanks to Martha's online directions. I'm turning my square into my next blanket for Project Linus (this is going to be one enormous granny square!).

• Watched the incredibly moving anime film Grave of the Fireflies last night. Haunting...

• Started yet another knitting project today: the Bijou Scarf from Morehouse Farm (couldn't find it listed on their web site anymore. I got mine at last May's MD Sheep and Wool Festival.). I love the colorway  (Indian Summer) which is a rich mixture of reds. Beautful lace yarn & such a fast knit (worked on it while watching Battlestar Galatica & several other shows via TiVo tonight).

• Am halfway through Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell and might stop. It's an interesting topic, but it really drags and is not holding my interest. It's heavy too! Dh recommended it to me after he read it so I feel like I should keep chugging along but...

• Since I'm debating the item above, I stopped by the library today and checked out another book that I've heard great things about: John Crowley's Little, Big.

• Instead of doing any of the above I really should be packing and getting ready to move...we close on a new home this month (yay!).

cool...
