Doors!

Wasn't here yesterday, as I was at home with the contractors. The "internet at home" thing is just *not* fast enough to deal with blog updates!

Cool thing of the day: DK, the Nautical Knitter (who brought us the lovely Guenivere, aka Secret of the Stole I) and he who is known as "Mr. K" have started a great internet resource: www.knitwith.us. Find things you need, find things out you need to know, watch videos, listen to podcasts... lots and lots of yarny goodness! I just know I'll have fun poring through the site when I should be doing work.

Other cool thing of the day: The construction on my house is almost done!

On the downside, I can't get to ANY of my projects, but for two: the Lilly of the Valley shawl, which has 3.5 more repeats to go... and I'm going to run out of skein #1 of yarn any second now (skein #2 is inaccessible), and this ancient Pocahontas cross stitch which I picked up and have been stitching mindlessly on. That's the great thing about Disney kits, when you can find them: big, giant, heaping-meeping blocks of colors that both fly by and take forever. And might I just say that Pocahontas has HUGE thighs.
