KNITTING AND THE INTERNET

It's amazing how much knitting I can finish while sitting in front of my computer screen. And I'm not just looking up new knitting patterns.

Just got my computer back from the repair shop, but drat, it's no faster than it was before. Still takes an incredible amount of time to switch to the next screen.

While I wait, I'm churning out hats in several sizes, some blue baby caps, and some red and blue (think KU) and mixed purple (think K-State) hats for both kids and adults. Not to mention the old tried and true ankle warmers, legwarmers, boot toppers.

We are facing changes in the way television, telephone, and internet services are provided for this household. If the speed is improved, it sure will eat into my knitting time.

ACTUALLY MAKING MONEY

I've actually sold some ankle warmers!

Made some money.

As a fund-raiser for the Kansas Authors Club District Two convention on October 1-3, 2010 in Lawrence.

Speaking of Lawrence, my ankle warmers are for sale TODAY (November 15) at an arts fair at a community center at Eleventh and Massachusetts. Also a fund-raiser for the convention next year.

Looking over the ankle warmers that are left in my basket, I have to conclude that orange is practically no one's favorite color. I thought they would be ideal for any hunter to wear as very visible boot toppers. (I had no idea that one skein of orange yarn would make so many sets of ankle warmers.) I've got to get busy and make some K-State purples, some KU blues and reds, and . . . what are the team colors at Pittsburg State? Do Gorillas wear ankle warmers?

In case you couldn't guess, Baker's color are black and ORANGE. Yeah, Baker.
