Midweek Update

I just wasn't able to find Valuable Knitting Information, 40th edition - either it got left behind somewhere or it went on a walkabout. So, I broke down and shelled out $$ to get the latest version. Now, I got to figure out how to do a batch record insert of main groups, such as manufacturer names, yarn brands, etc. without wearing out my fingers. Well, I do have a yarn database in a couple of Palm files, but it's an old version and the company didn't provide a way to open these files using the newest version. Can any Palm wizards help me out with this? The original software was from ThinkingBytes, I think, which got bought up by DataViz, I believe.

Recently, I've been doing a lot of spinning, trying to produce enough white yarn for my 2-color cardigan. I think I may have to spin a bit more, but that's okay. I got the Woolee Winder for Jensen, with an extra bobbin. Bruce put a cherry stain on these and it looks lovely. Can't wait to give it a workout, especially when I do the plying.

And gardening has been taking up a lot of my time as well. Clue for y'all - never plant cucumber plants next to tomato plants. The cucumbers will put out a tentacle to grab every bit of the neighbor's branches. Hopefully this weekend should be clear enough to take pictures.
