FINALLY!
September 23, 2005
Gosh how exciting - we finally have internet in our flat! Hoorah!
And to celebrate, I'm now going away for a week with my work, training! You might wonder why I even bother with this website, it's all so ancient! I need to do the links page, and I need to put up photo pages of my latest finished projects (which you've all seen anyway, Colleen in Magknits and Blackberry in Knitty), and put them on my patterns page. Maybe I'll have a chance this weekend before I go away - I hope so anyway!
Thanks so much to everyone for all the comments on Blackberry, and the nice emails - although I've managed to reply to all those I think. They make me happy, and make up for the fact that some other people have been pretty mean about me online recently.
It's a good job I've been off the internet really - I've been doing mostly boring secret knitting (boring for you cos you can't see it!), but that's nearly done now, and so I'll be finishing off Gemma, making some things from the latest Rowan mag, and making my dad a jumper for christmas, so come back soon and I promise there will be things to see!
Have a lovely weekend!

Who has been mean about you? I'll smack em one...
Good to see you back in the world of the web (even if only briefly!). Can't wait to see the next secret projects!

I noticed that someone was kind of snarky about the sizing. Just blow that kind of thing off, I say... How can they gripe when it's FREE?
Good news for me though--I received my yarn for Blackberry on Wednesday! Yay! I'm using Cervinia Londra in a blue, green, gray mix. It's about 60% wool and 40% acrylic and VERY soft. mmmmm!

Who ARE those people who visit happy little weblogs and feel they need to bleed their nasty, snippy unhappiness all over them? I say a POX on them! Thanks, Jen, for sharing your knitting life with us. Your blog has been a godsend for me since I recently came back into the knitting fold, as it were. And thanks for the help on Elspeth.

Congratulations on both of you patterns published in knitty and magknits!
I really loved them both.
