Testing the RSS feed… Awhile back, my webhost did some upgrades to his server(s), and tried to also do some improvements. The best plans of geeks and men fell flat, and we wound up with some weird bugs. One of which was some busted permalinks. Next, I noticed that the hit count had gone down […]
Day seven: 3rd April. Your knitting and crochet time. Write about your typical crafting time. When it is that you are likely to craft – alone or in more social environments, when watching TV or whilst taking bus journeys. What items do you like to surround yourself with whilst you twirl your hook like a […]
Day six: 2nd April. Something to aspire to. Is there a pattern or skill that you don’t yet feel ready to tackle but which you hope to (or think you can only dream of) tackling in the future, near or distant? Is there a skill or project that makes your mind boggle at the sheer time, […]

My Google Reader category for “Knitterly” contains feeds for 89 knitting blogs. It’s gotten to the point where I have at least 20 or more posts to read on a daily basis. I’m a great lurker. I’m not the best at commenting, though I *am* working on that. I constantly add new blogs to the […]
There have been so many things going on around here lately, that something got away from me entirely, and wasn’t remembered until I had a moment to stop and think. I’ve been blogging for about eleven years now! My 11th Blogoversary just passed, on February 21st. At that point, I had the domain for inkyblack.net, […]
The Daily Post wanted to know what makes me smile, and wouldn’t you know it, but a lot of things make me smile. This lovely mosaic is by no means complete; there are a lot more people, places and things out there that I haven’t managed to take a decent picture of yet! Which, of […]
