KNITSTER

I’ve given my friend Dina access to the back-end of the site so that she can see how it works, since some people we know in common are considering using Wordpress for their community blog.
It shouldn’t affect anything you guys are doing, but I wanted to let you know just in case.
Play on, knitsters!
Oh — [...]

I want to add a link category of “Blogs we read” to the sidebar, starting with our non-knitster.org commenters.
I’m also heavily considering a knitster web ring, because the knitting communities of that ilk that I’ve found are mostly closed, and we’d get substantially more traffic if we engaged in that sort of cross-linking.
What do you [...]

This weekend, looking for something fun and quick to do for a baby shower, I knit something small and fun. I’ll post the pictures and the info after the shower.
But I also wanted to mention–since June, I’ve been having problems with my right arm. It’s meant no knitting–tennis elbow!! But Friday I went to [...]

1. I cleaned up the spam comments. Sorry about that.
2. I finished lil’D’s blanket, finally. Pictures to come, when I find the cable that downloads the camera. See, we’ve been moving, so… well. Yeah.
3. I’m stoked about finding a new project. Yay.

I haven’t been knitting much at all lately; blanket is almost finished and I got my Tubey sleeves done. But packing for a move and high drama at the homestead–no time [...]

Well, we’re starting to get unsavory commenters here. I am going to turn up the moderation filter, which means if you post a comment with links in it, it may get queued.
We mostly have been topposting links, anyhow–if you have a legitimate link, email helen at our domain and i’ll get it up somewhere.

A big hearty welcome to Pickleboot here at Knitster!
And I’m delighted to report that the blanket is almost done, and I found mom’s HUGE STASH of yarn and a whole bunch of 1970s patterns to laugh at!
I think I’m ready to tackle a sweater now. But we’re also starting a prayer shawl thing at church, [...]

there are new categories up: photos, works in progress, and finished objects. the WIP and FO categories are subcategories of photos–continue to use the projects category for updates on what you’re doing.
Speaking of projects–bored with my blankets, I started a hat. I’m now doing fair isle knitting in the round! It’s going very [...]

I hardly ever watch TV, so I had no idea that there was this awesome new show about knitting happening on the DIY network. Check out the site here, and be sure to check out the knitster swag they’ve got up at CafePress.
We’re not affiliated with the show in any way, but I’d love to [...]

Well, aside from netscape parsing THIS entry editing page all wrong, I feel like I’m getting somewhere. I have to give massive ups to Chenu Jayewickreme for providing a template that will work for what I want to accomplish. I still need to work on the colors a little bit more, but soon I can [...]
