Oh boy, I have to start with a short fit today. Our site is kind of hosed up and it’s all because somebody had to nag us about updating a utility we use on the back end. Well ok, its a free utility and I am grateful, but the update wasn’t ready, and it has caused some problems in the blog and site, so bear with us.  I and my husband are software developers, so we can be a little harder on folks. Do NOT nag people everyday to update when your update makes all sorts of problems appear and the old one worked just FINE! There I said it. Not everyone wants to be bossed around and told what to do with their site and when to do it and how to do it and on what schedule to do it. I prefer to do it when I’m darned good and ready, and that’s not usually until it’s been around long enough to mess up other people’s blogs, and thus get fixed. hmpf!

So I now have completed all the feature articles, and uploaded the pictures. All that is left is my three patterns, and the shawl. I bet you wish you knew what they were huh? I’m not telling, you’ll have to see for yourself. I don’t want to be the only one waiting for issue two breathless, lol. So I am getting some pictures taken of the shawl and three other patterns I made for your enjoyment, and I even talked my crocheting wiz sis into making some of those hookie thingie patterns for you. Thanks Renee!

So I am ahead of schedule, and not sure how that happened, but I think it was because of Yarn Harlot, and Mystery Stole 3. I was a little peeved when I read on Yarn Harlots blog that she joined, and all the arguments of the person who coerced her into joining made. It was really the “Everyone will be having fun without you” and also the “Knitting is fun” comments that got me sucked in. SO I joined despite it being a BAD idea, and managed to turn it into a GOOD idea. Here’s how: I decided I wanted to get caught up, (sorry the group is closed for this one, I signed up at the very last minute) and Clue 2 had already posted (so 150 rows or so). So I made a list of work, and when it was completed I get to knit on MS3. I am on row 60ish. It is beautiful, and I will get a picture for you to see soon. I hope to be caught up to the others by next Friday, clue 4.
Anyway, this leads me to another idea. Maybe this would be a good way to get ufos turned into fos? You MAY start another project, but you may not knit on it, until you have done say 10 or 15 rows on that other thing you are sick of. I used to do this when painting, work on my “hot” painting only after punching my time-clock in on the old boring one. It works, try it out.

Sorry there’s no pictures or anything, have to get back to work.
