In other news, I'm going homw to Texas for a month! My flight leaves this evening (although, I have a really bizarre and stupid layover in chicago. Not only is it, like, 45 seconds from Detroit, but it's also in the wrong direction to get to Houston). I'm not entirely sure how well I'll be able to keep up with the blog, since my family still has dial-up, but I'll give it my best shot. In case you don't hear from me in an absurdly long time, because dial-up totally sucks, I'll leave you with this:
This is the lace mohair sweater I'm working on. It's a pretty standard top-down raglan, with a mock turtleneck. It's got lace panels (picked up from Hedera) running done the body and arms. I haven't blogged about it before because there wasn't anything substantial to report, but today I finished the yoke! I'm putting it on hold because I don't have the space to bring it with me to Texas, so I won't get back to working on it until June. No rush for a mohair sweater this time of year, though.
Don't worry, dear readers, I will keep my hands busy. I've got the other knee sock to make and supplies for another pair of socks. I may start orangina while I'm down there. And on the plane, I'll work on this some more:
Remember the amperwalkers? My movie-knitting? Well, the colors are really more Jon-ish, so I offered it to him and it's turning into fingerless gloves instead of socks. So...I guess I should call them ampergrabbers?

Have fun at home. :) Now I have "Come Back to Texas" by Bowling for Soup running through my head.
Thanks for the Wheelie gauge info. The more I look at those socks, the more I fall in love with them. ;) Oh - I feel like I'm functioning reasonably normally again...I can at least remember who's in my project group this week. :P
