Mar. 22nd, 2006 08:26 pmSeveral months ago, I placed Alice Starmore's Aran Knitting on request at my library. Mind you, this book is OOP, and the lowest price Amazon lists it for is $249.00, so finally getting my hands on it today was most pleasing. Well, it was until I noticed that pages 139-145 are *missing*. Someone tore them out to get the pattern on those pages. No, really, they cut up the book instead of making a phototcopy so other people could enjoy the pattern. I'm pretty sure the gods have special punishments in mind for such people, or at least I hope they do.
I know I've been terribly silent of late, but the main reason should fix soon. My vision's taken a marked turn for the worse, so detail work like writing and reading have been difficult, not to mention what it's done to my knitting. However, I saw the eye doctor last week, and should have eyeglasses for the first time in nearly 7 years quite soon. I'm quite looking forward to it - most people don't know how bad my vision really is, but truly, it's terrible, the world is rather blurred and washed out to me. Having new glasses is going to open up my eyes to so much beauty - colors are so much richer when I have glasses, and all the small things I've missed for so long! I can hardly wait.
The retainer will also be sent to the lawyer quite soon - everything's moving along fine. My eyes are starting to hurt (went to the movies, saw V for Vendetta, but movies always kill my eyes) so I go. Love to you.
