With Knitted Brows

So, I'm back from Virginia and my mom is doing very well following her surgery. While I was "down South" I logged on to my blog, and I was surprised to NOT SEE my graphic behind the title words "With Knitted Brows"! I'm particularly proud of my graphic since I created it from scratch myself -- knitting needles shaped like knitted brows on a background of knitted sweater fabric. I can't figure out why it doesn't appear on some computers. Please tell me: CAN YOU SEE IT? Leave a comment below. Thanks!

The beta testing of the Sock Wizard software was a lot of fun and a very interesting way to spend the weekend. It was supposed to occupy about an hour per day for that Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but I'd say that I spent about 4 hours each day just trying to keep up with the team messages and the tasks. Dinah asked how I got to be involved. The short answer is that the program writer, Carole Wulster, posted to the Socknitters list (and some other lists, I think) inviting Mac-users to participate in the beta testing. The longer answer is that my DH and I met Leah Wulster, who was representing/selling Software4Knitting products at a knitting convention in King of Prussia PA. We got to talking about Macs and she told me that there was going to be beta testing of this new software in the near future. She took my contact info and....contacted me!

Quick News:

1) My mom loved her socks -- those Trekking XXL "problem-children" turned out to fit her perfectly. Yay!!!!!!

2) I sent my secret pal (8) a package and was so gratified to learn how much she appreciated it. It is fun to give, but......

3) The mysterious Yarnball left me a comment saying that I'm soon to RECEIVE -- even more fun!

4) I'm halfway through knitting a pair of anklets made with Fortissima Cotton and various leftover stripes. Pic forthcoming.


All for now. Please remember to leave a comment to let me know if you see the title graphic -- THANKS!!
