I've been offline for a couple of days because of a bad modem. Comcast finally figured out that the problem was my modem, they told me to bring in my old one and gave me a new modem.
So, I'm back online!!! ;-))
But Bad Luck comes in pairs. Check out next photo....

Claire Ottman’s pattern for Cable Socks from Socks: A Spin Off Special Publication. Knit with Lang’s Jawool merino wool in green colorway on number 2 double points.
These socks took forever. I started them in 2007 and finally finished them two year’s later. Not so happy with fabrication, which is loose and spongy. I prefer a tighter fabric, knit on smaller needles. What a difference two years make.
This is a view of the cable management before I have cleaned it up, I haven't finished this one as of yet so after pictured are to come.
Factory built in around 1912 for local man Harold W. Smith, specialising in cables and cabling for the mining industry. One of only four works in the country that could produce braided electrical cables at the outbreak of the First World War, as a result was awarded contracts from the Ministry of War producing parts for the 'D mk III' field telephone.
The workforce grew from 40 [1912] to 650 as well as works operating on a double shift pattern for the duration of the war. By 1918, 15,000 miles of electrical cable had been produced.
Post war slump resulted in the 'H. W. Smith & Co' works going into administration. Works bought by 'Edison Swan Electric Co' [later 'Associated Electrical Company' and Siemens] to produce power lines cabling.
During the Second World War, the works had [again!] one of the four machines in the country able to produce lead tubes. These tubes were used in the construction of 'PLUTO' 'Pipe-Line Underwater Transportation of Oil' / 'Pipe-Lines Under the Ocean' which were fuel lines between the Isle of Wight and France to support the invasion of Normandy, 'Operation Overlord'.
The cable works closed in 1966 and was bought by a paper & cardboard company 'Reed Paper Group' who manufactured packaging.
The factory closed in the mid-1990s.

For this folded card we painstakingly created a cable knit pattern inspired by warm and fuzzy knit sweaters and scarves. Next we letterpressed each card one-by-one, with subtle warm silver gray hand mixed ink, on our 100 year old hand fed Chandler & Price printing press.
The result is a perfect place to share your thank you, I love you & warmest wishes.

A friend of mine needed a jump after baseball practice for three consecutive weeks. So her brother-in-law, who was supplying the jumps, gave her this wonderful arrangement. Jumper cables surrounding a vase of flowers. I think there might be a roadside assistance kit stashed in amongst the flowers too.
