I forgot to mention that we were going out of town this week. Sorry about that. I’ve got the laptop and Ellie is napping (Second Nap if you’re counting) so here’s a knitting update for y’all.

I toyed with the idea of CounterPain Squares as trip knitting, but decided that was too dangerous (if something happened to them I might never recover). I went back to my default – you just can’t go wrong with socks.

I am using the Knitty pattern Thuja. It’s not only a suitable pattern for a very tired knitter (not too complicated), but I also had the yarn it called for, was confident of my gauge (I still brought three sizes of needles just in case) and if my pattern gets destroyed, I can print a new one. If I can find a printer. I have chosen to think of it as a small Yarn Miracle.

I also forgot to mention that I have set up emilyivey.com as sort of an uberfeed. My flickr, twitters and blog posts all show up there. If anyone wants to stalk me, it can be done with one easy location.

There is some serious furniture moving going on upstairs. I am holding my breath that it doesn’t wake Ellie before I can hit “post.”
