Ravelry is a great resource that gave me both hopeful and disappointing news today. Bad news first?


Apparently the "rules" (I don't know that they are actually rules) of Stitch n Pitch changed this year such that only people who purchase tickets through a yarn shop get goody bags. Doesn't that suck?! So I've officially f'ed up Stitch n Pitch two years in a row. Last year by not purchasing with the group and this year by not purchasing with a yarn store. I think I may resolve to just not go next year.


Good news...


Apparently Canon cameras have a known with their CCDs and are willing to fix them free of charge for the models that have the bad part. (Read the info here.) My old Canon, which I replaced with a more expensive Kodak, was just hanging out with a bunch of electronics to be recycled. When I read the info on Canon's website, that's the exact problem that I had had. The one tech guy I had asked about it before I was ready to give up on the camera said it sounded like the CCD and not really a cheap fix. I called and talk to Canon this afternoon and they sent me a mailing label and information. I'm going to send it in tomorrow and see what happens. If there's no fix, there's no big loss because I've got a new camera and had already written the Canon off as dead. If it does get fixed, I have two digital cameras for playing with!


So I learn good and bad things on Ravelry.


I've been sloooooooooooooooooooowly working on a sock and I've started a scarf, so maybe I'll have something to share soon.
