Ravelry and the people who use it continue to melt my brain with their collective genius. You’ll see that things have changed around here and it was all spurred by Casey and The Knitting Scotsman (aka Jim). Thanks to the two of them, you can see the Ravelry plugin for Wordpress in the righthand sidebar. Casey’s coding led to Jim writing the plugin. Absolutely ace. If either of these striding kings of the knitting code-writing world are reading this, thank you. The old way of doing progress bars (cut, paste, fill in numbers, write in the titles, take Morris dancing lessons for three months, sacrifice a skein of Malabrigo to a red squirrel, etc.) made me want to stab myself in the head with my 6.5mm bamboo DPNs. But now - oh joy! - I can use them instead to decrease on the Mumhat 2 (which, as you’ll see, is currently about halfway done - if you’re reading this after today, it’ll be history.). Hurrah!
That advance motivated me to do a quick and dirty header image for the site; it won’t always be that simple, but something had to be done. I’ve got some anthropological knitting coming up - soon that baby head on a stick will have company. Of course, if you’re on Ravelry, you can pop by my projects page and get the details on all the knithropology works past and present. If you’re not on Ravelry, and you wield a needle, hook, wheel or spindle, then what are you waiting for? Get on the list, ducky!
Right. As you can see, I have some WIPs that are more than halfway done. Time to get my skates on and finish some of them (and catch up on my podcast listening!) so I have something to tell you about later this week. See you then!
Edited to add: I caught up on Ready Set Knit and after hearing Christy talk about what the Make It Right folks were doing in New Orleans, I couldn’t help but donate $20 for The House That Yarn Built. Come on folks, let’s build somebody a house.
