I *heart* our server, and also freelance work.
I’m dying to show you how the Raven mitts came out; my neighbor has been happily wearing them for ten days now. But due to some technical difficulties Chez Garter, I can’t access any of the pictures I took. They’re backed up, so if McGrumpy the server winds up needing an emergency trip through the mail to the server doctors and they erase everything (it’s happened before), all will not be lost. But I’ll need to beg your patience for a few more days.
In the mean time, I’d like to thank you all for your kind reception of the Axel mitts. I’ve been wearing Mitt the First around the house while trying to spin enough yarn to complete Mitt the Second. There’s plenty of roving left, happily. We’ll see if I can achieve anything like the weight and twist of the first lot six months after the fact – don’t hold your breath.
Not much knitting progress to report from the past week, unfortunately. The Fishtrap sleeves are creeping along and have reached about 10″ each, but I’ve been swamped with the world’s dullest work: indexing case files for one of my father-in-law’s malpractice suits. (He’s the one suing the delinquent lawyer, not the other way around. I’d like to sue the delinquent lawyer’s entire staff for incompetence and a failure to grasp the basic principles underlying chronology.) Anyway, five fat boxes stuffed with legal documents stand between me and a beautiful long weekend, and they make me want to weep. Can you tell I’m procrastinating by blogging about absolutely nothing when I should have my nose in a ream of worker’s comp claims? Sigh. Please send a career. Or at least some tasty alcoholic beverages.

how about one of your tasty ginger mojitos?
i’ve been sick most of the day (always happens when a major front comes through), so no alcohol for me. barely supper!

Sorry to hear about the tedious work. I don’t think I can top the offer of ginger mojitos you got from Minnie, but perhaps a peek at the Axel Mitts I made this week will help. I posted them on my blog today.
Thanks for the pattern. They were fun to knit and a great stash buster!

Oh no, I’ve done that kind of work plenty of times and it is truly miserable. Be sure to apply lotion often to prevent paper cuts!

Oh no! I hope the server starts playing nice soon. Hope that your work gets done fast, it doesn’t sound like a ton of fun.

Sorry you have to slodge through all the tedious work. Sometimes I don’t understand people’s disorganization! Hope the server is OK. I just got my computer back and was worried that they’d erase everything. I had it all backed up but would rather not do all the work of getting it back on the computer if I don’t have to!

Ugh – how frustrating! I hate trying to organize other people’s stuff! Fingers crossed everything works out ok with the tech issues…
