New Toy, Report the First: Cassettes

Yesterday, my new toy arrived in the mail, and after work (and after a couple of other things), I got a chance to test it out.

Equipment:

-- One Mac iBook G4
-- One Sony Dual-Cassette Deck (very similar to this), acquired as a graduation gift when I graduated from high school in 1989
-- One InstantMusic Vinyl & Cassette Ripper, which came with a bunch of cables (so that one can connect to the output device of one's choice)
-- One cassette of The Skidmore Bandersnatchers' "Live from the Edge," acquired my senior year of college.

Confessions of a fiber addict

I have way too many things on needles right now. I have projects I've been intending to finish for over a year now. I have gloves that I'd intended for myself that I got bored during (I'm doing the fingers) of the first one and set aside. I cast on a new sock a couple of days ago to take with me to Maine over Pesach.

And yesterday I acquired from magid some new yarn of indeterminate weight and fiber content (though it may be some relative of this). So what did I do within the hour of acquiring it? Cast it on some empty size 2 DPNs to do a test swatch.

Stop me before I swatch again!
