Catching up

Being gone for 10 days means lots of work to do upon returning.  I’ve made it through the pile on my desk, and most of the e-mails.  Marcia Weinert sent me a couple of photos to share with you, from our day at Rhinebeck. The photo of the alpaca made me smile.

Marcia took this photo of me and my table partner, Wendy Johnson, setting up the table at Rhinebeck.

Marcia Weinert took this charming photo of a very happy alpaca.  I thought it might brighten your day.  You are welcome!

On the plane flight, I kept plugging away on the lace edging for the Rock Island shawl.  Long experience has taught me not to despair at the appearance of unblocked lace.  But this looks truly dreadful, right now!

58 out of 71 chart repeats achieved, looks like cat barf.  Knitting lace takes a lot of faith.

The website hack has left scars on the website.  Thank goodness, visitors aren’t being re-directed anymore, but now the site statistics don’t work at all.  GoDaddy can’t help me with this one – it is a WordPress issue.  And, WordPress isn’t available by phone – just website documents which aren’t solving my issue.  This is frustrating, time-consuming, and I have other stuff to work on – so I am just going to trust that someone is reading this, for now.

    I don’t use the term “cat barf” for my unblocked lace. “Colorful spaghetti” is much more pleasant! :)

      Spaghetti is what I get with intarsia. You might be a prettier knitter than I am, Bobbie, but my lace in progress looks more like what I see on my carpets occasionally!
