But It's So Easy

Imagine in your mind that the sock in this photo is, um, upright or just tip your head. Whatever works. I have no idea why the photo is in this direction since when I uploaded it I turned it and when I downloaded it to photobucket I turned it. I guess it's just one of life's mysteries 

Oops. I published and now everything is fine. Odd.

Anyway, this is the first Regia Silk sock in color  186 completed. The pattern is more or less the recipe from  Stephanie Pearl McPhee's Knitting Rules book. I did do a twisted rib at the cuff though. The second sock has been started and is proceeding nicely. Stockinette socks rarely complain.

The Ubuntu/Firefox 3 has been fairly easy to get used to. I have Linux Mint on the laptop so it was an easy transition for me. The husband has had a few issues like he keeps nearly turning the computer off every time he goes to close a window. I'm sure he'll get used to it though. One thing that has amazed me is just how easy everything is. Take the printer for example. When we installed it on Windows we had to download a cd to get it to work. Not so with Ubuntu. I just turned the printer on and it was ready to go. The same has happened with the camera and my ipod. Now I wish we had switched years ago.

I do have one question for you all. How does my blog look? Is the print large enough or maybe too large? It looks different to me and I just wondered what you thought.
