Friday Musings
Lately I've been doing some organizing in my life (why did I hold on to that p air of jeans that is at least 15 years old? There's no way I'll ever be going back to that size), and I decided to do some organizing on this blog as well. I made an adjustment to the category list so that knitting books are distinguished from simply knitting (this should also be more easily discernible when I create a new entry in ecto). No, the category pages are still not up yet; I need to figure out how to get these working.
Another change I've made to the blog is that I've added more knitting projects. You'll notice that some of these are on hold - I do mean to get back to these eventually. I'd like to see if I can finish these this year so I've stashed a reminder here. Eventually, I'm going to be changing the look of this blog. It's a rather complicated change, due to the way SixApart redid the templates (supposedly to make it easier) and the fact that there isn't much documentation, even on their website. I want to use the designs from Movalog Style Generator; however, I'm not crazy about the wasted border space so I need to tinker around with the CSS (while learning how to use it). Am I nuts? Perhaps, but since this skill is part of my occupation, I do need to get ahold of this skill.
I'm now getting back to the Norge 2000 pullover - it just occurred to me that the days are ticking away fast and before I know it I'll be watching the opening ceremony. So, I need to get this out of the way. No, that doesn't mean that I'll be joining Yarn Harlot's The 2006 Olympics KAL. Too much pressure for me, and besides, every competition needs cheering spectators and motivators. I'll be cheering on Genia!
While browsing around knitblogs, I came across a list that someone set up for 2006 Knit-Alongs. I think this is a great idea - thanks, Natalie!
Gotta run so I can play coochie-choo with Kai . . .
Thanks for the comment in my blog about the novelty yarns. Very nice to know I'm not the only one who likes the simple to the overly "creative". :-)
I saw that 2006 KAL list, isn't it great? Natalie deserves a great big hug for all the work she put into making that!!
Now...Kai? That's the name of my ex's son. I had to take a second look when I read that and wonder if I knew you in real life!!! *chuckles*
I think it is a good idea to put reminders to yourself on your blog. That way everytime you come tinker you'll be reminded about that long forgotten project.
Thanks for posting that link for the list on the 2006 KAL's...though I can't join as many as I would like, it is fun to see what others are working on! And, um, confession here, I'm still working on a KAL from 2005--the branching out scarf!!
