knitting and other pics

[thrihyrne]

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 :





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!

That cardigan is drop-dead gorgeous!!!

And I love the colors you chose for the skirt. That will be lovely, for certain.

*hugs*

Thanks! I always look forward to fall and hope you're enjoying the one I made for you. :) The skirt should be very wearable with its mix of brown and blue and ecru.

(((hugs back)))

Oh, I love that gorgeous sweater so, so much! In fact, the day it's cool enough to wear it is like a special holiday, because I know fall's really here and that's my act of celebration. :)

And I never fail to get admiring comments when I wear it!

*more hugs*

You're right: that skirt will go with everything!

YOU are an amazing knitter. This from a very basic knitter, and I'd like to expand my skills, except I have no time to learn.

Oh dear, about the laptop.

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

Aw, I wish you had more time to learn more things! I recommend a class- I knitted without help and got all messed up, then took a beginners class and it made all the difference. Knitting is such a fun social activity, too.

Yeah, my mom was pretty devastated for most of that day. :(

Pretty knitty stuffs!! (I'm still working on the same sweater... *sigh*)

oooooooooo.... *shakes head*
Poor poor man! Not a project I'd like to be attempting

Do you have pics of your project at Ravelry? I just realized I need to put in the pic of the skirt…

I don't envy him, either. He's now moved on to putting in a 'new' rear window in his ancient Jeep. I think that project is going better!

[gingerspark.livejournal.com]

nope, no pictures yet. I'll definitely post a celebratory pic or two if when it gets done.

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

YAY!!! The card seemed perfect for you. I always think of you when I think of peacock feathers. ♥

LOVE the skirt. I think you'll really enjoy wearing it.

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

Thanks!! It's fairly mindless to knit, but that's okay, and I can tell that I'll quite enjoy having it as a unique skirt. Thanks also for your Funny Fridays today. I was appalled, even while laughing! :P

[persephone100.livejournal.com]

WOW! I LOVE my sweater!!!! :D :D It's GORGEOUS!!

Thanks SO much!! <3 <3

I got your email. :) I'll call you this weekend!

***hugs!!***

It turned out pretty well! Your color choice was perfect. I'm off to buy buttons for the cardigan this morning! It'll stay closed a bit better after that, lol.

You're so welcome! It'll probably be another couple of months before you need it, though. :P

Yes, let's chat!

Wow, the cardigan looks great!

... I swear I had something else to say, but my brain is too fried right now. THE CARDIGAN IS NICE. :D

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

Much appreciated! As long as the recipient is happy, and she seems to be. :)

Not to worry about fried brain- I understand!

I love the cardigan and I know persephone will be SOOO happy!

Btw. your Rue question has been answered. Your friendly Rue advisor.

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

I think she'll really like it! Just need for it to cool off, eventually!

Thanks so much for helping me out with the Rue question. Glad to have a Rue expert on my flist! ♥
