Knitting and Reading

I haven't been using the computer very much, I'm staying at Mum's and they don't have broadband. I know, I know, it's shocking! So I tend to avoid using the computer because:
1. It's REALLY slow
2. It ties up the ONE phoneline shared amoung 5 people.
3. The mouse is also crap and frustrates me no end.
4. I feel guilty sitting in a little room by myself, when I should be spending time with people I potentially may not see for at least another year, if not two.
5. And it's REALLY slow.

So my blog is behind, I've hardy read Knitty (and haven't posted in ages), and do not check my emails enough, especially the ones from my gorgeous boy.

But I have done a lot of knitting. And reading. And drinking coffee. And sorting out boxes. So that's good.

The one-button cardigan that I am currently working on (I know it hasn't got a progress bar, that really needs updating, but that is one thing I realy can't get motivated to do on this SLOW machine) is going really well, with no trouble so far. I've done the back, the two fronts, one arm, and am 3/ through the second arm. After that I just need to seam it together, then pick up 270 stitches, do a few rows of ribbing and it's done! But I think this is the tricky part so...

Back in Oz

Lots of things have been happening in the last couple of weeks. Went to Tokyo for a weekend with the Boy, then finished my packing and left Japan! The flight was average, and the 8 hours in Korea wasn't too bad, as I distracted myself by reading and looking in the duty free shops.

Oh, and in Tokyo I bought my very own digital camera, so I can keep up with my blog in Australia. And of course take photos of family and friends!

It's definately good to be back home and see everyone, but I miss the Boy so much. he is staying in Japan for a another month, then heading straight to his home in England.

On the knitting side of things, I have started the one button cardigan from Knit1 magazine(on the cover), with yarn that I got from one of the Knitty girls in a swap. It's going fairly fast as the yarn is quite bulky, I've finished about 3/4 of the back.
