Blogger has been improving itself! There is a beta version, and guess what? One of the new features is TAGS! I loved them on LJ (wow, haven’t updated that in…. forever) and was very sad Blogger didn’t have them. I searched the intarweb, and found a few ways around it, and have even been trying to use one, but it just didn’t look pretty. But waiting around worked for once!
Now if only modblog.com hadn’t died before I finished moving all my posts over. I was almost done too.
Of course, this does mean I’m going to have to go back and label every post now.
Still loving CraftMemo. I haven’t found a way to share my stash with you yet, but I emailed CraftMemo to see if it is possible. I put in all my knitting needles tonight. It’s great, although to get the best out of it, you do need a naming convention, so if you set it to show only ‘Needles’ things come up in a good order. I titled things like this: “DPNs 2.5mm” or “Circ 7.0mm/60cm”. Then in the product listing I would note what brand. It seems to work so far, although I may edit them all to put the brand in the title. Not sure yet.
The system has you enter the vendors, so at one point I had to go over the Denise Site, and did you know they’re doing pink sets that support breast cancer research? Cool!
I got my stuff together for Wong Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest today.
The piece is a blanket I started because I wanted some mindless knitting. The yarn was a Bernat Denim yarn, and very soft and lovely. It was a cotton/acrylic mix, I believe. I was going to knit a blanket. As you may or may not be able to tell from the pic, I started in one corner, and somehow thought I could knit something that giant without going mad. I was obviously wrong. So there it is, all packaged up and ready to go. It’s nice to have it off my back, and know it is going to someone who can use it. I included the needles, I don’t need more straight needles.
Oh, and while finding publisher links for my last post, I found my new wallpaper. On Potter Craft‘s website, they have two free wallpapers. And surprisingly, I went with the non-knitting-related one! It works perfectly because I flipped it horizontally, so although you can’t read the book credit any more, it doesn’t matter because the left side is the side my dock is on, so there’s just teddy bears peeking out from under my dock. Very sweet, and the book (Toys to Sew) is adorable and I’d buy it if I could only sew.
