I know I've been MIA for quite some time. There are a number of reasons and excuses and so many things going on. Most of all my health. The back has given me problems for quite some time. I was out of work for three months and then since I've been back at work, all I do is work and go for various treatments for my back. Like Chiropractor. Physical Therapy, Acupuncture, and Massage Therapy.
But finally last week I had a nerve ablation of the pinched nerve in my back. Hopefully this will help. I have been knitting all along even though I haven't been blogging and as I get my files transferred over to my new Mac I'll post some photos!
Yes I did it...finally switched to Mac OS. Been thinking about it for quite some time. My daught loves hers. Now that I have it home I'm so confused about getting files switched over. I need help with transferring of data. It's way ovr my head. I was going to buy the Powebook Pro but once I got into the store and saw the iMac 20" screen I fell in love. I don't need a laptop for portability so this will work.
Lately I have found myself knitting lots of baby items as many of my friends are having Grandchildren.
One of the sweaters I made was out of Handpainted Cascade 220 yarn from Seacoast Yarns on Ebay. I love Holly's colors and of course Cascade 220 is one of my all time favorites.
I really love the way this turned out and the pattern is so much fun. It is the Knitting Pure and Simple Neck Down Cardigan for Babies. I have now made it 4 times....some with hoods and some with Hats, I vary it also with stripes and designs.
And as always I have way too many projects going at once. That is something I need to work hard to tame.
The yarn stash is bursting out of the closets as well as the attic. It kills me to have to store yarn in the attic but we started making an apt in the basement for my son and everything had to go. I had limited choices of where all the STUFF would go; THE DUMP, the attic, the shed or stuffed in the house in nooks and cranies.
Hopefully I will start to post more once I learn how to use this MAC.
See ya!


Welcome to the Mac world. It has its advantages over PCs...but it's a PC world out there, so be prepared to feel snubbed sometimes.
