New computer, meet Old computer. Old computer, may I introduce my New computer?

Really, I’m not going to have much to say tonight–I’m busy getting used to my new computer. The screen is just a little smaller than my old one, but it’s a convertible tablet pc–meaning it can work, like this, as a regular laptop, or I can swing the screen around and fold it flat, and use it as a tablet pc with the nifty electronic pen that came with it. I’ve never used a tablet PC before, so, there’s a learning process there!

  I don’t want you to think I’ve been neglecting my knitting, though. I mentioned over the weekend that I was (cough) hoping to get this beautiful, mustardy-gold color felt hat Mom and I saw in Nordstroms? (And being conveniently blind to the hat box she carried out of the store?) Well, this Kid Silk Haze I bought in Montclair is a darn close match, and well, I figure it’s best to have a scarf ready to go . . . just in case!

And, please, don’t think that this looks similar to that infamous Copper Colored Zephyr in that Hyrna shawl, because it just doesn’t, all right? Maybe superficially in this picture, but really not at all in person. The yarn is more caramel-colored than copper, and the lace stitch doesn’t really look as much like the beginning of that shawl as it appears to in this picture. You’re just going to have to take my word for it.

  Now, before I go back to transferring files and learning the ins and outs of Windows XP Tablet edition, let me just say thank you to Lizzy B, who was nice enough to pick up these postcard souvenir books for me on her recent vacation. Wasn’t that nice of her??
