I got my new camera! I need to spend lots more time with it to master the controls and get the best results possible.. and this week is no time to play. I have a Sockapalooza deadline!

I hit a snag last night with the second sock, realizing a mistake.. a big mistake.. about 20 rows back. Instead of unknitting, I pulled the needles out and ripped back. Picking up the stitches again was another hour of frustration, not to mention losing another few rows in trying to pick up stitches. I'm back on track though and plan to spend the better part of today knitting on it.

As for the Mr Coffee incident yesterday. I'm much better today. The burns, which last night felt like a really bad sunburn has eased. Its still a teensy touchy when clothing rubs it a certain way, but it is better than yesterday.

Around a year ago on this day..
