Well, first, you’ll be glad to know that I turned the heel yesterday at just the right time. Give or take a row or so, the feet on both socks ARE in fact the same length.

Not only that, I finished the body of my Ingenue tonight. Just two sleeves to go!

And, how nifty is this? I got a review copy of Casual Elegant Knits for Knitting Scholar. I just got all emotional that someone would GIVE me a knitting book (sniffle). It’s just so wonderful, you know? Of course, I wasted no time … and my review is up right here.

Isn’t it nice to know I had some extra, fun distraction from the fact that UPS isn’t delivering my copy of the new Mason-Dixon book until tomorrow? That, and my Chuck – The Complete First Season DVD came today. I’ve had it pre-ordered for MONTHS. Would you believe Mom and I haven’t gotten to see the season finale yet??

Okay, so … I’m not the LEAST bit unhappy with the Nikon D40 I bought in May. I love it. It takes amazing pictures.

But, Nikon just came out with this.

The Nikon D90 DX. A 12.3 megapixel DSLR with an 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 vibration-reduction zoom lens AND that does video. The lens alone is making me drool. And, I know, the thought of a DSLR that does video is actually a little weird, BUT think about all the nifty things you could film with all those interchangeable lenses.

Okay, not that I could remotely afford it. But Wow. (I’m sorry, the Canon 40D 10.1MP just doesn’t compare to that.)

And no, I have no business looking at cameras, but I keep having lens envy. Like, for the 18-200 VR zoom lens. Or even just the 50 mm Prime lens (the f/1.8D or, even better, the f/1.4D–who cares that I would need to manually focus them?)

Really, I should be focusing on knitting books, right??
