opps - this might take a while

Usually I blog Wednesdays and Sundays, but today that isn't going to happen. We got a new mac, or rather we got a new iMac, which is great. We had got to the stage where updates and newer versions of software were available but wouldn't run on our old eMac - so it is great. But .... we also got a new thing, Time Capsule, to replace our Airport wireless and provide back ups ... so far so good. But the set up has been time consuming, or first sucessfull back up took 18+ hours, and given the aborted back ups prior to that we were reluctant to disturb it for fear of it all going wrong - again. Then there are the little but important necessities like moving over all the files and the email accounts and messages and software and ... oh it just took ages.

So I knit on my tangled yoke cardigan, without the net to distract me i was able to work to the end of the tangled cables. At which point I found a few small errors...

never mind I thought, I'll just drop down those stitches and knit it up, It will be easy ...

Yes ...
maybe ...
this could take a while ....
I'll let you know when I'm done

Take care
- oh and I got a fiber'n'things swop box from a nz spinner as part of a spinning NZ swop organised on ravelry - which was lovely, but i can't find the photos - the files are not all sorted as I like them. I'll blog that in more detail soon.

Oh, wow. That picture just gave me cold chills. I'm sending lots of knitterly repair thoughts your way, and will be biting my nails until you let us know how it goes!

Heck, I wouldn't be unravelling the cable on that cardigan. It was hard enough just doing it. Bravo.
