Off To See The Wizzard
Off to collect the new knee tomorrow. A tincy bit nervous. I am a real coward when it comes to pain. My computer is in the room over the garage, so climbing up here has been painful. I got the folks to move the older computer downstairs. Wonder why I didn’t think of that before. I have a new very cute notebook. Once I have stopped crying like a baby I can check in online. I want to thank everyone for all there good thoughts. Much appreciated.
Grace I love you beautiful new shawls. It is like watching someone make magic. Marie, I love your new sock madness! You can stop buying sock yarn now. Opal Uni is a bit thinner then the patterned Opal. The stuff wears like iron.
Looking for some eye candy? Check out this Beautiful shawl. It will probably show up on Rav, when she gets its around to posting it. Consider it a sneak preview 
How about these socks. From the new German Knitting book Socken aus aller Welt. I love this pattern, but I think I can do it without the book. I need another sock pattern book like I need an hole in my head.
See y’all in a few weeks. Dawn is watching for me. And she will let you know if I am still around or if there will be a big yard sale on knitting stuff. Toodles folks!

Soon you’ll be ready to run up those stairs! Praying that it will be as fast and painless as possible for you.

We will have to work on music for our new show, “The Six Million Dollar Knitter”. I need special music (remember Steve Austin had it when he did his stunts) for your stunts-like leaping over a WIP to claim an Elann box before Master Chief sees it!
Take care of yourself. I’ve been looking for you!

Bets cracks me up. Glad you have Dawn to keep you out of trouble while you recuperate.
Those are pretty socks. They look like they’re knit cuff-down cuz when I knit the Dayflower/Bellflower pattern, it is oriented the other way around (which is how I prefer it anyway), so I would just take the stitch pattern and do it toe-up. (I used this stitch pattern in my Dayflower washcloth, http://smariek.blogspot.com/2007/01/dayflower-cloth.html, aeons ago) You’ll find it in BW2 on page 311.
Oh, btw, I have 67 pairs worth of sock yarn now, mostly acquired from 2009. Knitting socks at rate of about 1 pair per month (started this year)… so I guess I’m all set for the next 5+ years !

How’s your knee? Surely those cables would make your eyes hurt so bad that you’ld forget about your knee pain
