etc.

I’ve reverted to bad habits lately, and paid the price for it in spades, I’d say. Yes, spades. I went back to using IE a few weeks ago and have therefore spent the past three days rescuing my computer from spyware purgatory. There is still some sort of slithy registry key that has attached itself to IE that I can’t seem to get rid of (which changes my homepage everytime I launch the browser) and several days of diagnostics hasn’t helped at all. So back to Firefox while I work it out and lick my wounds.

I’m almost done on the sweater I started last week (just the 3-needle bind-off to go, happy thoughts my way, please) and I have to say that I’m positively head-over-ears for this pattern. I can’t say enough good things about a pattern that produces an almost-complete sweater right at bind-off, with only 20 stitches to seam and 3 ends to weave in. Genius!

Pictures soon (although nothing near Melanie’s superlative cliff shot), but in the meantime, here’s a picture of a cat who sleeps cute.
