Moving House

This is the debut of the Expression Engine blog, moved over from the Movable Type blog.  You shouldn’t notice a great deal of change, though some things (like comments - which now have smilies for those as likes ‘em and a live preview ) are a bit different. Some image tags were broken during import and I’ll be going through and fixing them as well as updating the How do I do that?!? and Patterns links on the sidebar.  Presumably that will set everything to rights.  If you run into something odd or confusing, please let me know so I can take a look at it?

After completing the second section of seed/stocking blocks, I did decide to try another (different) minute lace pattern for the following section.

Lace pattern II

All together now, just like Don Ho: “Tiny bobbles...”

Ahem…

Some of you may remember this pattern as the one I used in the Zen Garden Stole (see sidebar under “Patterns").  The only difference here is that the bobble is done over only two stitches.  Because the yarn is so slippery, it’s kind of a touchy procedure, but I think it looks pretty good and is worth taking a little care to produce.

Current progress

I’m very happy with how this is turning out.  I’m nearing the end of the first ball of Surf and feel comfortable that I’m going to have enough to make a scarf of decent length.  However, after working on it for a while, I find that my eyes start craving some color!  And my hands want something a little larger to work on that doesn’t require a death grip in order to keep everything civil :)

Warshcloth

This is Spotlight cotton and it’s really soft and very nice to work with.  Since I only had the one ball of it, a washcloth seemed like a good idea.  Pedestrian they may be, and simple, but I’ve found that I like the ones I make a lot better than the ones I used to buy.  And, because I’m apt to make one out of any bright cotton yarn that I only have a bit of, their nature tends to be rather random.  I like that too :)

And there’s this…

Sand dunes?

...about which I will only say (for now) that it’s a rapidly growing pile of Sand :)

I will try to get this new place straightened out within the next week.  I very much hope you will all find it friendly, entertaining and hospitable :)

No trackbacks yet.

1. This is a test of the emergency commenting system. Had this been a real comment then I’d probably have something useful to say.

   But, as it turns out, I don’t !
