Post Of Blog Design Humiliation
So, I use Safari browser. Yesterday I saw this site through IE. Then Firefox. Eek! I had no idea there were so many error messages. And layout weirdnesses. And weirdly floating buttons. It was pretty much the same feeling as realizing that you’d tucked your skirt into your underwear and wandered around all day. So!…

If you liked Firefly, you’ll love the Fall Knitscene preview
If the name and/or style of the Prairie Kimono sweater was NOT inspired by Kaylee, especially her part in that flashback episode, then time-space must be folding in on itself.

That kitten is totally depressed that Destash is over.
So! A mere week after my request to join was accepted, Destash.blogspot.com is ending. Guess my plans to post destashable yarns this weekend are now null. In the wake of the announcement, I got a flurry of emails of people soliciting the use of the following sites: http://ysos.blogspot.com http://www.fortheloveofyarn.com/classifieds/index.php http://destashyourstash.wordpress.com/ and then the unknown quantity…

Good news for Lucky Clover knitters!
Melissa Wehrle, the designer of the Stitch ‘N Bitch Lucky Clover wrap sweater, just posted her corrections on her blog, neoknits. I haven’t been posting about my progress on the sweater, because I sincerely believe that nobody in the world needs to be alerted every time I put another row on the thing. I’m almost…
