coronation street

thought i'd give the finito to this one. hemp is a difficult one to weave and the mistake in the middle was driving me crazy. i had about 6 more centimeters, but the middle threads refused to tighten  even after wetting them. hence two threads weaving together. so be it.

starting another one during the weekend and hoping to have solved those kinks.

speaking about solving i am waiting for my new laptop to be delivered. found a cheapo which will be dedicated to the knitting machine as planned. hope i don't get punished for the excess.

woe is me

or in current parlance bummed out.

at least the weaving is going well albeit slow. number 3 is weaving along.

was all ready for the knitting machine hack, drivers downloaded, cable and connector, husband-san by my side holding my hand and providing unwanted extra information; the works.

turns out that the cable drivers might conflict with the loom usb converter. the solution would be to uninstall and stay loomless something that at least in this life it's not going to happen. 

and to add insult to injury the program runs in win 7 and 8,but the laptop running the loom is xp service pack 3.no run no program. it means that either i get a dedicated laptop for the knitting machine or forget my idea of knitting images. in a household of 2 there are 2 desktops a netbook a laptop and 2 tablets. it is obscene. and i need to get another computer.SIGH  >:{ 

will start with craiglist for second hands and move from there.

moving on.

slowly migrating my photos from flickr to ipernity now that i have paid space. have not uploaded anything to flickr for a year and will remove all albums not linked to my blogs. there is such a free for all over there .

you can visit this, this and this  for some of the photos i took in japan. will upload some vids too during the week.
