I have been knitting another pair of socks with my favorite sock yarn, Austermann. I love these colors. I have just finished the heel on the second sock, and should have the pair completed by tomorrow. I am planning on finishing another sweater, too.
Today I got some support on the phone from Lenovo. I have an Ideapad that I purchased from them at Costco. For some reason, my camera app disappeared. I tried a few techniques from Youtube, then called the help line. I wasn't able to figure out where it went, but the technician who assisted me was superb.
I gave her my serial number, and she went into the system and quickly started pushing buttons. In a minute of two, I saw my reflection on the screen. I looked amazed and happier than I can ever remember. "You're a genius! I praised her. "And such a good teacher." Computers can seem so complex at times. I thanked her profusely and wrote her an excellent review.
Now I will be able to attend my next Zoom meeting. I love Zoom. What have you been up to lately?

Those socks look good! I checked my winter socks, last week and I have 3 pairs of wool socks I've knitted. They should be enough for me, I think. But, I might knit another couple of pairs for gift giving, I think. Glad you had a helpful tech support person and it was very nice of you to write her a good review!
ReplyDeleteHi Bless, It's nice to have extra socks, in case they start to wear out and need darning. They make wonderful gifts! I have given away wool socks to my friends and family. I am still wearing some of the socks I knit for my mom before she died. She took great care of them.
DeleteLike you, I've been sock knitting - they are so warm and cosy in the colder weather and there's some lovely yarn available nowadays! xx
ReplyDeleteThey are, Joy. It's so rewarding to finish a pair. Winter will be here before we know it.
DeleteI love that sock yarn. I haven't had any time (or inclination) for crafting recently, but I've just bought myself a lovely ball of wool, with which I think I will knit some wrist warmers.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you managed to get things sorted in time for your zoom meeting. X
Thanks, Jules. So do I. It's a relief to have the camera straightened out for Zoom.
DeleteI'm eyeballing my yarn stash in readiness for a sock knitting session. Do you have a favourite pattern?
ReplyDeleteHi Cherie, I used a basic pattern on Ravelry by Yuko Frederick. She was my knitting teacher. I rib mine, with a K2P2, because I like the fit. So, it's a bit of a change. The rest is from her, though. It uses a short row heel.
DeleteI so admire your knitting. I was never able to master this. I teach 1 -2 private yoga classes a week on zoom, and am also part of a meditation group. Zoom was a godsend during lockdowns. I also use facebook messenger for visual calls, it's great.
ReplyDeleteThank you, ratnamurti. Knitting came very naturally to me, as if I had done it in another life. I have never used the visual call feature for Messenger. Technology is so amazing. Glad you are enjoying it with your yoga, too.
ReplyDeleteIt is always a blessing when you can get help for technical issues. It was nice of you to go to the trouble to give her a positive review. Your socks are lovely. As the recipient of a pair of your socks I can say you have sock knitting down to an art.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is, Anita. I try to always give positive reviews to hard working people. She was excellent. I'm so glad you are enjoying your socks. I remember that pair. I hope they last you a long time.
