In her latest post , my dear Roxanne obviously ran into some uploading or editing problems. Not to fear, though — I’m here to straighten everything out.

The odd choice photo should have been:

while the photo with the headline Sigh was obviously supposed to go with:

You’re welcome.

Eyes

Been so long since I did a non-Hunk entry, not quite sure the memory is there. . . I’ll segueway.

Did you see the premiere Monday night? Sublime. SUB. BLIME. I was sobbing at the end. And, how magnificent an actor is Andre Braugher. If you didn’t watch, you don’t know.

Both Hannah and Madeleine continue to grow. And have beautiful eyes. Maddy had a vet appointment this afternoon — she’s up to 2.88 pounds.

School resumes on Monday. I teach Monday through Thursday, Hannah has classes Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We jimmied things around so that we can be there together most of the time. I think she’s looking forward to it, but she hasn’t had to pay for her textbooks yet. That generally puts people off the college experience.

Bought my little canopy for the Festival this morning. I have to practice setting it up just on principle, but also need to see how much space I have and what means of displaying are available. Other than that, knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting.

We haven’t been impacted by all the flooding, though it has rained and rained and rained here. One of Hannah’s friends hasn’t been to school this week because her county system is closed. It’s a true mess north and west of Atlanta.

Have you seen the new KnitPicks catalog? What is with all the kits? Nice idea and all, and very good prices, but, where did this sudden rush come from? I do like the Knitting Bag one, though. May have to look into that once the paychecks start coming back in.

It’s Come to This

Here is your chance to decide on the 2009 Knitters’ Hunk. Thank you all over myself for your involvement in this — trust me, I have a lot of fun this time each year.

I am not going to let results be seen this time, as I have with all the other votes, just to keep the suspense and surprise in play. But, by this time tomorrow, I’ll announce who the Hunk is, and who is eligible to win the Grand Nominating Prize!!!!

We are so very, very near The Crowning! Here is your first set of semifinalists. Since the poll for the other set doesn’t close until later today, I will wait until Monday to post those winners. Which means we’ll have our Hunk by Wednesday.

So to speak. . .

Apologies All Around

Very sloppy contest-keeping on my part. The first pair was incorrect yesterday, and, instead of changing everything mid-day, I thought it would be better to just start all over. Want to make sure every vote gets counted!

So! The pair that should have been:
