Adelaide socks

G'day all!

Whilst my laptop is being agreeable (though it is running on the battery currently cos SOMEONE turned off the circuit it is plugged into AGAIN), I thought I would post a few pics of the Adelaide socks. These were my second set of Socktoberfest socks.

I am very tempted to call them the sea anemone socks. I think you can guess why.

But I've called them the Adelaide socks because that is where I knitted most of them. There and on the way back on the train.

I've managed to crash Nathan's computer so thoroughly I can't figure out how to turn it off. It won't respond to anything I've tried, though the button that I think is the on/off switch may not be on/off at all, it might just be the stop playing button. I has a talent, I tells ya. I should be a tester for new programs and stuff cos I can break anything just by running it.

Okley-dokley, gotta go read websites whilst this computer is still running.

anon!

    Gorgeous twinned socks!! I thought at first they might have been named after Queen Adelaide, and in a way they are!! Love the frilly cuffs. You have special computer superpowers, obviously!!!

    I love these socks! You have knitted them up beautifully. Love your querkiness of having different coloured socks...but the same. Do you have a pattern for these?

LOL G'day all! Apparently I can no longer blog more than once a month. Mea slacka, I admit. So what's been happening here? I've done a lot of knitting recently.  Ahem I may have bought a fair whack of yarn too.  So much for not spending money. I've been sick as a dog this week.  Gah.  I haven't been really ill with a virus for years - last time I was this sick was six years ago.  Man that was a fun month, DH having lost his job whilst we were getting new visas in Oz for said job, having to pack up and move everything we wanted to keep from the States, sell off the car, get rid of stuff.... all with me coughing my lungs up.  And the lymph node that came up that I thought was from a chest infection actually being breast cancer...  oh joy oh bliss. I even went to urgent care (the walk in, no appointment needed doc in a box that you see when your GP is booked out) cos I felt so crappy.   He confirmed it was probably viral and threw a heap of meds (not ABs)

Competition time!

G'day all! Because I am feeling generous at the moment, having given myself a nice dose of mercury (very therapeutic as long as you are Victorian or earlier, doncha know!) and also having developed a grand-niece, I reckon it is time for a competition. What do you need to do? One of two things (or both if you want!). Tell me: about a time you mishandled dangerous chemicals and/or compounds, eg when you played with a mercury switch and blew it up, causing mercury vapour to cover the whole area (including your lungs and skin...) or what I should do to appear more like a great aunt? (Eg how should I dress, what embarrassing habits should I adopt) (Don't say get wrinkly - I am working on that all by myself! LOL) Prizes are your choice of anything up to 100g of yarn not yet sold from my website or if there is something specific you particularly want that is sold I can see if I can dye some more up or do a custom dye job. Competition closes Friday May 11 10PM EST Oz time. That mea

Not a good post to read

I don't have much good to say today. I don't suggest you read what follows. . . . . . . . . . . I really do mean it. . . . . . . . . I went to the doctor today to get the last part of the puzzle of my cancer. I am a complete mess. I am trying to think of positives - I need some positives. My breast cancer is triple negative. Along with the grade III, poorly differentiated cells and aggressive nature of my cancer, I am losing hope for a good outcome (ie a cure). Tamoxifen will not help me. I was so hoping that it would be estrogen positive cos everyone I know who has had tamoxifen has done well. I have to set my sights lower. Heck, I'll be happy if I am in any shape to make it through next Christmas. It will be a miracle if I am still around in five years, let alone still around and healthy. Every box that can be ticked for a bad outcome is ticked on my pathology report. How much more of this can I take? I have serapax to try to calm me down but I am not game to
