the ai gods are happy

and 私もう!have made some interesting discoveries about machine knitting and am seriously contemplating doing the city and guilds course. the good news is that as the courses are getting re organized that will buy  me time to think it over and finish other commitments .

on another note downloaded and installed the new firefox browser which promises to be faster(and safer) then the 3.6. let's see if they hold the promise, 3.6 was driving me up the walls.bad news is that some of my add ons are not compatible with this version. bye to pera perakun and delicious :(

 last night's wine tasting session was awesome. discovered a wonderful portuguese wine by the picturesque name of cavalo maluco roughly translated as crazy horse. a small handmade production. not inexpensive, but truly worth it.

different kinds of plastics including bubble wrap laminated together and machine stitched. have you noticed the recurrent use of the word machine lately?

experimenting and enjoying the process

whoa! this is intentional! now that i can finally  use the machine and knit one of those long rectangular things without many issues i am teaching myself to control dropping stitches at will and making holes. i have a lace carriage, but those holes are too uniform for what i'd like to knit .i saw some scarves and wallhangings by barbara ridland and want to try that kind of knitting.

tha'ts my kind of knitting. of course i have a whole lot to learn so that i can produce those holes (^_^) she's a master!

yesterday i practiced making buttonholes and distorting them. fun!
