Go go gadget girl

Lookie here:






That's a Palm Treo 700p. Sweeeet! It replaces my ancient cellphone as well as a Palm that died recently; the camera and wireless modem capabilities are nice bonuses. I may try moblogging soon ...



Meanwhile, the Meilenweit socks are done.



Why do the toes look different? It's a long story, but I rather like the funky look.










Now I want to get started on my Fleece Artist merino, but somehow I managed to tangle the skein:





So if anyone has suggestions on (a) how to untangle this efficiently or (b) what would be a rocking sock pattern for this yarn, I'm all ears!

FutureSocks/loveyarn

Ah, the joys of payday.














I finally managed to acquire the sew-in snaps for ChildHood (at the incredible cost of CDN$0.75) and had the additional pleasure of a solid half-hour of browsing at our superlative LYS, The Needle Emporium. Pictured above: my very first skein of Fleece Artist Nova Socks, and a couple of skeins of Regia Bamboo Color ... also a first. I also bought the two most recent issues of Interweave Knits ... just yummy. I am thinking ahead to some potential future projects:



















The Bonsai Tunic and Merrymaiden Dress (for Claire) from the Spring issue, and Nantucket and Venezia from the Winter issue. That's just for starters! Any opinions on what I should do first? After St Brigid, of course (and I also have a 70% complete Rogue waiting around).

By the way, I am thrilled that I've had even a few lovely comments so far! Thank you! I love the sense of community out here in blogland.
