A hard drive failure took out our server a few days before Christmas. I know. Great timing, that. Not. Anyway, my wonderful husband worked throughout the holiday, yes on Christmas Day too, and is slowly getting everything back online. Thank goodness for daily backup, huh? Yes! I have a blog again. Oh happy day.
Hope you […]
I still have half a ball of the lovely “teal” Zephyr Wool-Silk, and it’s been wanting desperately to be knit up into another little scarf while I figure out what to do with the other colors I have. With that in mind I’ve spent a little time here and there digging through stitch dictionaries again […]

Upgrade
My wonderful, dear, sweet husband helped me with upgrading WordPress this morning. It all went without a hitch, just as it should, though a couple odd things showed up… like a super-duper old sidebar. After I figured out where that came from, I decided to give a stab at using widgets for my sidebar. It […]
Ooh. Look! Wordpress 2.3.1 instead of the oldy-mouldy 2.0.4. Woot! While I’m getting things straightened out, it may look a little wonky. Please pardon the mess.
Waves and shells
As promised here are a few pictures of my ocean-themed shawl. It’s been progressing quite nicely. I think I might even have enough yarn to do everything I want, and get a shawl at least close to the size I had in mind.
As you can see, even without stretching it’s getting quite […]
First off, let me thank all of you (and Anne!) for your wonderful comments, suggestions, and help with my stole project. I spent a lot more time over the weekend swatching and thinking, thinking and swatching, calculating, figuring, wondering, vacillating. Finally, I decided to decide, and made the decision. My shawl is going to have […]
If it’s not one thing, it’s another… Our server crashed some time during the night, and though Dave managed to get the server back up, part of my Wordpress database got fried—namely the comments portion. So, comments aren’t currently working. At all. Any comments you’ve left previously probably won’t show up. Any comments you try […]
Maybe it just needed to be deactivated and reactivated in order to work? I dunno. I’m trying the fancy captcha software again. Please, please, please let me know if you have trouble leaving me a comment (email link is in my sidebar, near the top, under the picture of Ricki), and I’ll start the search […]
It’s been washed.
Lovely blue water, isn’t it? Ick. I really should wash the unused half of the hank, but I re-wound it into a new ball instead. It can wait.
It’s been laid out.
My uncle called after I got the main pins in, so I was on the phone while pinning most of the crochet […]
