knitting and other pics

I've finished the cardigan for persephone100, modeled below. I just need to buy buttons for it, as well as for the striped cardigan that I finished for myself several weeks ago. I also have started on the knitted skirt, also ( below the cut )

The other thing that met my eyes this morning is this:


My mom spilled an entire mug of coffee in her laptop a couple of days ago. It was a rough day, to be sure. But once it all dried out, turns out it worked— but the keyboard was a stuck mess, even though she drinks her coffee black. She demanded strongly requested that my stepdad take it apart and clean it while she's on her last summer trip up in Maine. Gamely he's at it, and this was how it looked minus the board part that he was cleaning. Now he's reassembling and there are a few of the little pads that go under the keys that have gone missing, so instead of it being a "fun" project, now it's about to get really damn frustrating. I don't envy him in his task. I'm also especially grateful for my desktop this morning!

Happy Friday, all!
