Thankfully the access mess that was created yesterday by that denial of service attack seems to have gotten straightened out. I think I’m still getting email that came in during that. If you sent something to me, and got no reply, please resend your message.
So far it just looks like a big triangle knit from […]

Actually the server is up, but our host has been having problems today—a denial of service attack has had them scrambling since the wee hours. Sometimes my sites will be up, others down. Email is just as flaky. I had a plan for a post for you for today, but I’ll do it tomorrow when […]

There’s a been pretty quick turnover of patterns lately. You know about Quenington, a fun zigzag scarf I did last week. It’s being test knit by Elisabeth (sadly blogless).

I was just looking at my blog stats, then looked again. I knew, I just knew that today was Wednesday. Gak. Seems I dropped a day somewhere. Even my daily calendar was off by day, saying definitely that today was the fifteenth. Ha! I was spot on Monday. I wonder which day I “slept” through. […]

Other than this brief introduction, I’m going to do my best to imitate a photo blog today. Click on the images to make them bigger.

Okay. Can’t resist. You get some description, anyway.
Row 1. The bird had flown full tilt into a sliding glass door. Knocked out cold from the impact. I’m happy to report […]

You know what? This was a really hard poll for me. I love all the pattern names in it. They’re all fabulous. But right from the start there was one that stood out for me: Sevilla. I know, I know! I’m actually invoking my right to choose a name other than the winning one. To […]
