By Subscribe to Post Comments [Atom] Saturday, March 15, 2008 Penny wise, pound foolishThis is a sock cuff and this is ugy.  This is what you get when you try to save $1.40 and buy a discontinued color from KnitPicks. No wonder it's discontinued – it's not just unpopular, it's flawed. I wanted a nice blue mix for some socks for BD and on their website you see only that the skein has been discontinued and is discounted. Not why – and one tends to figure that means it's unpopular or else the dye is difficult to get/make/reproduce. This isn't called “seconds” which is the market place code word for "defective, but still works". I may still have bought the yarn, but I wouldn't have been so horrified to see what grew on my needles. Oh well. Foolish me. I'll knit the socks and overdye them – since I'm already down to the heel on sock #1. But whooee! Ugh Lee! More disaster shots   This has been a very cranky week. I've been trying to come to some technology decisions and since I'm not a geek – just a dabbler, an end-user – these are the most difficult types of decision for me to make. I made them – but oh, la! Now I have to do some more convincing – since there is a committee that is part of this process. And this type of work is going to go on intermittently through October. We'll be glad we did it – but it ain't easy. In addition to that, we bought a new dvd/vcr player and now can't find the television manual and can't figure out how to program it to talk to the player. So we are frustrated there too – which is much worse than being ambivalent at work. So – to wipe away the misery that is geezers trying to learn technology, live to you, from the house of the blinking 12: Spring flowers!
