I am taking some time off from blogging. I will return on Sunday April 3 (The day of the baseball season opener - Red Sox vs. Yankees). Until then, here are my current pair of socks in progress, what I call the ROY G. BiV socks.
I think I'm finished with the charity knitting. I have a decent size box for the homeless shelter and can't find any other vintage projects I want to do.
My current favorite pair of socks are the 2 Socks, 2 Ways socks from Socks, Socks, Socks. My feet are always cold so I prefer socks from thicker yarn. I think I'm going to go on a binge of sock projects using worsted weight yarn Here's the first pair, actually the other pair from the 2 Socks, 2 Ways pattern done in Peruvian Highland Wool. These socks are actually turquoise. The toes didn't fit in the scanner but they are yellow.

I promise I'm done with my whining. To lighten things up around here, I hereby present:
GALLERY OF REALLY BAD KNITTED HATS
The left one is called Knitted Loopy Hat because I guess you are loopy if you wear it.
Doesn't it look like there is a bowl underneath this hat?
The braids on this hat simply defy explanation.

As I figured the insurance company will not pay for reimbursing stolen items in the truck. And the deductible is about the same amount as the damage to the vehicle so we're just going to get it fixed ourselves. The most unpleasant part of this though is that DH had the files for our taxes in his briefcase. We will have to file for an extension to get all our papers in order but more unpleasantly, have to start thinking about identity theft. There was definitely enough info in there for someone to get a new credit card in DH's name.
HERE's what the govt says to do in that situation. Essentially we have to put a credit fraud alert on our accounts via the credit score companies. Then we wait to see if anyone tries to open a credit card or open any other accounts in our name. Thieves can also attempt to open phone and utilities accounts with stolen info but I'm currently not sure how to deal with that. We need to get a copy of the police report.
Well I'm off to call the credit score companies to issue a fraud alert. Then I will clean the house. Perhaps then I will be then be in a good enough mood not to murder DH for leaving his briefcase with all this info in the truck.

I will have some items to show you in a few days. DH's truck was broken into yesterday while he was hiking. They broke the lock on the cap, crawled through the back and broke all the windows between the cap and the front of the truck. They took his entire music CD collection, the foster care emergency cell phone, and most importantly his briefcase. He had all the month's bills ready to pay so now I have to contact everyone and figure out what we owe. I've already contacted the credit card companies and our credit union in case they can get any info from the bills.
When the sheriff's dept. was contacted they actually sent a deputy to our house for the insurance claim. I figured you could just do this sort of thing over the phone. I'm waiting to hear if the insurance will reimburse him for the CDs but I doubt it. I know a teacher who had her laptop stolen from her locked car while she was at an Albuquerque hospital emergency room (how nice) and it wasn't reimbursed by her insurance.
I know this isn't really important in the scheme of things - just annoying. DH says he knows other hikers who purposely leave their car doors open (with nothing in them of course) to prevent damage to the vehicles from thieves. It seems then they could take the car itself though. I contacted the ranger station about this - maybe they have some suggestions for those people who prefer to hike without being robbed.
I've started a pair of socks and finished a scarf and 3 skeins of angora for the rabbit rescue. Peaches spent the entire weekend blissfully sleeping on a pile of blankets near the wood stove.
