Still no pics

My goal this week is to get my digital pictures working again which means one of two things:



1- I need to try to download my pictures from my phone onto my new computer at work. Theory being that if it doesn't work on one computer (my laptop) move on to another one. But this means hunting up the cord which is in the dreaded office (the one room I need to tackle- it's the size of a glorified closet but filled with five times its capacity).



2- Give up on the cell phone, even though it is convienent because it is (usually) always with me and dust off the digital camera. The thing sucks batteries like there is no tommorow - really good camera, but it just gobbles up those batteries especially when downloading pictures. I have a card reader/transfer that doesn't work on my laptop anymore, but again, maybe I'll try the computer at work. Same problem, all that stuff is in the dreaded office. It looks like I'll push my way in one way or another.



Hopefully this will result in pictures to show off my latesting knitting accomplishments. This weekend, I kept working on the cable sweater from Rowan. I have been working on it alot and I'm only halfway up the armpit on the back. I still have two fronts (it's a cardigan), two sleeves not to mention the rest of the back. The cables and bead stitching in the cables really slows down the progress, although I have to admit I almost have the pattern memorized which I didn't think ever would happen. One side note, way back when, I twisted one of the small cables the wrong direction and didn't notice until after 20 hours of knitting (ok, less, but I wasn't unraveling or dropping the stitches to go back and fix it). Figured it was a minor error and I could use it to prove that, yes I indeed made this glorious sweater you are drooling over. Well, at lunch, I read a neat little trick at the yarnharlots blog. I might just try it out - it's basically "painting over" the error with a darning needle.



So I took a break and I got inspired and tackled some of my unfinished projects. After catching up on ironing I decided to just skip the blocking (which is what brought the project to a screaming halt anyways, and it's for a baby which in my mind won't know the difference if I blocked it or didn't, hope I'm not wrong) and finished the Pea Pod baby sweater. Ok, I'm not technically done as I still have to sew on the buttons - but it's just buttons. (I can't get the computer to upload the picture right now so provided the link instead). This sweater really suprised me, or rather the yarn I think. I bought the yarn on cones years ago and wasn't wild about the colors anymore - it's a pale lavender and I have another one that is a super pale dusty pink - kindof (they were on sale if that explains it). But it knit up so nicely, I fell in love with it again. And do like the pattern - as you can see it buttons up on the side instead of the center. I think this might be my next project, try to adjust the pattern to make an adult (me) size. We'll have to see as I won't like it if I just cast on more stitches. I like the scale of the front lace work to the rest of the sweater, so would have to adjust that as well.



I will have to pick off where I left off as I have work to get done and Dad is coming to help me pick up a futon tonight, so no staying late for me tonight.
