At least pictures going back to mid-2007 thus far. I have much more to do. And some pictures that appear to have not made the transfer, but most (at least until Jan 2006) seem to be alive and well. And I’ve been knitting! Possibly the ugliest socks I’ve made to date. The yarn is Lion [...]

I’m liking this new look. Sure, I could use some pink but after all the eye clutter, I’m happy to go back to a more basic look. I’m also loving the font size, my eyes just can’t take teeny tiny ant droppings after a while and the restricted size of the last template was driving [...]

My current hosting company is pretty good. Exceptional value for the price, but I am putting them through their paces today. I’m essentially ftping the contents of my laptop to a secure undisclosed location on one of my sites because the laptop is at deaths door and I need the hard drive backed up yesterday. [...]

For some reason (probably because I’m very awesome) someone has decided to add this blog to StumbleUpon, which completely freaked me out because the day before yesterday I had 14 hits. I figured the stats were wrong. They weren’t. I’ve been Stumbled. Stumblers ROCK! (But you already knew that didn’t you?) Post most horrifying to [...]

The old theme was lovely but starting to grate on my nerves, so I went back to the WP classic and tweaked it. Thus far I’m pretty satisfied that it’s readable. This was probably the fastest overhaul of a blog theme that I’ve ever done, in part because I wanted to keep things simple, and [...]

Eve is hosting the Confessions of a Housewife Carnival over at her blog. It’s a small yet tasty blog carnival and the first one that I’ve ever joined. My confession is that I love being a mom and housewife, it’s the job that I was born to do, and it’s great– my big fear is [...]

Still wrestling with the hosting situation, there are so many things that I rely on my websites to do that it makes me really appreciative of them when they are down. Finally yarnporn is loaded and I think all the pages are working (I used the link checker, but have to go through with my [...]

Knitting furiously as it goes actually. Not much progress on the capelet since there’s been so much drama around here, but I have a little spinning finished. I have to go find another web hosting service now. Stay frosty.

While perusing blogs I found Julsey (Peony Knits)and found myself obsessing over the capelet pattern that she shares. I like the shaping, I even like the color she used. I don’t like the yarn-over treatment of the raglan shaping and I don’t particularly like teeny garments in bulky. And I think that a bit of [...]

Yarn? I am so impressed, you must go there now.
