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 […]

Knitting things
I was browsing around a bit and saw this Elegantly Simple Baby Blanket pattern, free from Jackie E-S. Here are some other freebies from Jackie.
The forget-me-not socks are pretty well-behaved, but if I’d known about this a month or two ago some serious sock threatening would perhaps have made the Conwy socks go […]

I think I have it now. It wasn’t a problem with the new captcha software, but with getting all of the old software out. This time I did a little testing, and I can leave messages (I couldn’t last night when I tried). Hopefully, you’ll be able to, too.
Thank you for your patience!

Seems like the nifty new captcha program I found may be more of a gotcha. It’s not working. Dave found some interesting errors in the logs. I’m going to go disable it for now, deal with the spam, and send these guys an email message.
Keep your fingers crossed for me.
Edited to add: Bah. Something’s […]

Well. I finished the second forget-me-not sock. That means it’s time to rip out sock one, and re-knit it on smaller needles. That means that this is now two balls of yarn instead of a sock. I did cast on again, though, and I’ve knit up the picot edge, and the first row of the […]

It seems I’ve been having trouble with email, and didn’t know. Server issues. Dave says he found an anomaly (no, I didn’t ask for specifics; I didn’t want to know), and he believes he’s fixed it. I need to do a little simple testing. I need volunteers to help me.
If in the recent past you’ve […]

Yup. It’s been two whole years. I can’t believe it! Time certainly flies, especially when you’re having fun.
In true blog-land fashion, in order to celebrate I’m going to give away some yarn. Unlike some yarn giveaways I’ve seen, it isn’t much, but it is Rowan. To be more specific, it’s Rowan’s Rowanspun 4-ply, […]
