The title is from a famously much-quoted line of memorized dialog from the Army's headstart language course for troops headed to Germany. It's not the Army's fault it left most of them half-believing that you could find the railroad station in any German town (from any point in town, of course) by going "straight, and then around the corner."
I have turned the corner on this bout of flu, the kitchen remodeling has turned a corner wherein the majority of the new cabinets are in the kitchen instead of in boxes in the next room (yes, we're doing it ourselves). I can get to the stove and am promised running water by the end of the weekend. All in all, life is looking up.
The downside of recuperation, though, is that suddenly tons of beautiful new patterns are clamoring to be knit, but I can't seem to hold the needles for more than 10 minutes without dropping off to sleep. *sigh*
Pictures of my latest finished objects are off limits for another week. I have two pairs of socks on the needles, neither worth a photograph yet. But I do have a sock-related question. In looking over the Yarn Harlot's tour schedule (because my mother pointed out that Stephanie was coming to a town near me), I noticed a week set aside for Sock Camp. Sock Camp? What on earth is Sock Camp? I know they like getting out in the yard for photo shoots, but are we really expected to send them off by themselves for a week in the country?? I mean really, you know they ignore the buddy system and get lost going through the wash, just imagine what could happen at Sock Camp!

You know, if the socks would come back with new buddies, it could be fun. But I suspect they would all get lost and I would have no socks after camp.
I am hoping to get to see the Yarn Harlot this year. It is on the calendar. However, that is the week before conference. So that may be a late night for me. Have to see how it pans out. *crosses her fingers that she can get there*
Glad to hear you are feeling better.
(And your title reminds me that I need to bring the Opal band for Paul's socks next time we are down your way. I have no idea what it says given it is all in German.)
