Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

Time for a change. After four years the look is changing. It's about time, did you notice? I think it's subtle, but too subtle? So far a new banner and a cleaned up look. I know it adds to the busy-ness, but I cannot bring myself to ditch the Gracee picture, so there she'll stay, my mascot.

Have you been here? It's a post about knitting blog Class of 2005. Kathryn, of Knittsings, spent 20 hours analyzing activity on blogs that have been around since 2005. The left side of my brain found it interesting.

Loving this pattern. Although it's garter stitch and very simple (you can do it, Jane, not the Quiddity one, but my sister, Jane), it goes really quickly and the colour changes of hand painted or variegated yarn keep it interesting.

    Hi! The shawl looks beautiful – I am so easily taken by a wonderful rainbow of any kind. I always thought what you were calling a “Fire Rainbow” was called a “sun dog”, but maybe that just refers to a little partial moment of an event.
    Anyway, I would love to have the pattern to the Herringbone Rib Scarf. I was on the lookout for a pattern for a new scarf (since my everyday woven scarf has been lost) and this might be the one. Thanks.

    I love the new banner – very pretty. Can you do that with the basic Tyepad or do you have to have one of their upgraded plans?

    Such pretty colors you’re knitting! And your new banner is great, too. I really need to get off my tuckus and get a non-template pic for my blog. One day? Ah, well. And thank you for the BDay wishes!
