Blogging from the couch

That's right.  I'm on the couch.  With possibly the cutest little laptop ever created.

It is great and tiny.  It's just over 10" wide.  It works really well and should be nice to take with me wherever I go.  Loops laughs at me, but I just LOVE the way it looks.  Check out the outside.

Ok.  Enough about my little netbook.  On to the knitting updates.

I actually haven't been getting much done with the knitting the past week or so.  I've been in a bit of a funk, I suppose.  I'm trying to get out of it though.

Uhura is pretty much at a standstill.  I did get to the bottom of the back half and did the hem.  I now want to hem everything I do.  I think it's great.

I have also started another Ishbel shawl.  It's going to be more summery since I'm using a cotton/silk blend.

Last on the list of projects I've actually been working on, the sock.  This sock has been in progress since last year.  I just couldn't get into it, but recently decided I wanted to get on with it so I dug out the few inches of leg I had done and started knitting.

Sadly, it seems too big.  Last year, I wasn't nearly as careful about getting the correct gauge as I am now.  I'm happy that I can actually make a sock though.  Turning a heel just seems very impressive to me, even after doing it and finding out it's actually pretty easy.  Now I just have to get to the toes.

The little Netbook is great, secretly I'm jealous, even though I have no need for one ;-)

If you knit a correctly sized pair of socks, I'd like a pair please, in those colors wpuld be fine too :D
