Ok, so here I am sitting in a coffee shop in Milton, working on the Internet! This new fangled technology is wonderful. There are no pictures in this post, as my camera cable is at home. I will try to post a few pictures later.
I had to take my vehicle in the my mechanic today because it has been making this wickedly loud noise and my check engine light is on...it sounds like a jet taking off whenever I drive. I arrived at the auto shop this morning and Doug, (my mechanic), gets in my van and takes it for a ride. He can tell within the first 100 yards what the problem is. He is amazing! I need a new wheel bearing. Apparently it is not a good thing to need.,. BUT he reassured me that my wheel won't fall off as I am driving it around for the next few hours until the part arrives.
I decided to take DH's laptop with me today since I knew I would be waiting around and had some work that I could get done. I also brought my knitting with me...big shocker!
I am finished the Durrow sweater ....well as much as I can do on my own...I am taking it to my Knitting Knite on Wednesday to have Guru Beth to show me what to do next.
So in the meantime, I started a pair of socks for DH. I am using the Cascades Handpainted sock yarn that I showed you in a previous post. The colourway is 'Thunder'. It ia a great colour and DH reallys likes it. I was going to try one of the socks from Cookie A's new book but I was having trouble increasing the cast on stitches for DH's foot. The sock that I was going to do was one with cables on it. DH really liked the fact that there were X's & O's running down the back of the sock. Hugs & kisses is what he thought! So I am doing a 2 x 2 rib with that pattern on the back. It is turning out pretty cool...I have a complete O and half of an X done so far...
Well, I am meeting a friend for lunch so I should hit the road for now...
Happy Knitting...
