I've had a bit of an 'Oooooops!' moment this week, as in a laptop-crash 'oooooops' moment - Oh Dear! I did have it coming to me - lack of computer housework, too many photos, lots of warnings - I didn't heed any of them, so entirely my own fault :-/ I've put my 'tweedie' shop offline for this week until I decide how to rectify matters and how to em, proceed with business in general. In the meantime I have finished my first 'Egyptian' sock and I'm delighted with it . . .
Back to my sock - far more fun! I'm amazed how the colour-work came up - I have a very laborious method of doing it, as I haven't quite got the hang of holding two strands of wool simultaneously, but the result was fine so I'm happy. It fits quite well, although I really think it is meant to be quite a rustic, ethnic style of sock as shown in the book illustration.
I'll be yo-yo-ing between my kids' laptops/computers for the next little while, so if I'm not here I'll be doing all the stuff I should be doing like sorting out my cash-books, tidying my fabric cupboard, etc. Perhaps some good will come out of my predicament, who knows!
Keep calm and carry on :)

Oh no! I still have bad flashbacks to my own Great Laptop CrashDown that happened a few years ago. I lost six months of photos of my kids because I hadn't backed them up. That wouldn't be a HUGE deal, but there was a series of pictures of them at their first amusement park outing that were special to me. I almost cried!
The sock, though. That sock! I looks so fantastic! I'm really impressed, lady. Make sure you throw in a *little* bit of second-sock-knitting while you're behaving and doing the "real" work too. :)
