Box and String

A box came into the house the other day. It was not allowed to be investigated for worthiness to enter the house. The box was hidden behind the door that gets shut in our faces. We then forgot about the box. The box and STRING were brought out from behind the door. The string was laid out and pictures were taken.
I like this skein.

Or maybe this skein.

Then the string went round and round. There was a lot of string that went round and round. The stool was moved and we could not reach the moving string. We were not allowed to play with it. This is wrong.The string has changed. It looks odd.
The box was given to us. It is too small for sleeping in. The box is not worthy. We would rather have the string.
Sincerely,

Rosencrantz & Guildenstern

They say..

Save things to the network because the network is backed up and that way you won't loose everthing when your computer crashes. (It also helps if you're at another computer, you can pull stuff up.)

This did not help yesturday. The entire network was down.

On a depressing string note, I have completly given up on the no SSS socks. I ended up completely frogging them and just gave the entire skein to Mortal.

Happy New Year!

And Merry Christmas! Yes, it is still Christmas. Today is the 11th day of Christmas.

We're still celebrating, how about you?

Today is technically Mortal's day to give gifts. However, she went back to VA yesturday, so she and I both went yesturday. We had to go together because we did joint gifts to Father and Squirm. Kilt hose!

I got a book entitled We are the Cat. And, a skein of yummy handspun. Mortal says there are about 600 yards.

Mother got some handcare items from Mortal and a sweater from me. It is the one hand knit item that she will get until more progress is made on the quilt.

On another note, the concrete socks are done.
