I’m finishing up my book, in the middle of training for the Portland marathon and knitting Chelsea’s shawl, and preparing for a new computer and software.\u00a0 Here is the weekend wrap-up!<\/p>\n

New computer is in the house!\u00a0 Moving from .5 gig to 2 gigs, which should solve the slow-down problem.\u00a0 I’m not hooking it up just yet, though, because I am writing some last pieces for the Book, and want to do it on software that I am familiar with.\u00a0 Gee, I hate to say goodbye to Word 2007, but it is past time to move on.<\/p>\n

Chelsea’s shawl is progressing beautifully.\u00a0 I’ll be honest, when I am making a new stitch I almost always use “M1L”, where you put the needle in from the front and knit into the back of the stitch.\u00a0 It is more comfortable for me than “M1R” where you come in from the back and knit into the front of the stitch.\u00a0 But Stephen West is a great designer, and he is very specific in this pattern about where to use one or the other increase, so I am following his instructions.\u00a0 And, it looks great!\"chelsea<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I place a locking marker under the center stitch instead of surrounding it with markers.\u00a0 It is easier for me, and I can’t follow EVERY rule, right?\u00a0 \"chelsea<\/a><\/p>\n

Now I am knitting the chevron edging, and it is very pretty and easy to follow the chart.\u00a0 Lots of stitches, though.\u00a0 This is my fourth project in a row with several hundred sts on the needle, and I am ready for something with less sts.\u00a0 That sleeve for Mithril will be just the ticket, after this shawl is complete. \"chelsea<\/a><\/p>\n

Jedi approves of the DIC Smooshy yarn.\u00a0 She is getting spoiled with all of the great yarn around here.\"jedi<\/a><\/p>\n

I ran the first 20 mile run of the season yesterday, with my niece and favorite running companion, Lindsay.\u00a0 We celebrated the finish with a popsicle, which tasted mighty fine, let me tell you!\"Lindsay<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
