I’ve added a bunch of pics to the new gallery - http://knit.criosa.com/photos/
they still need to be labeled and then linked into the proper posts, but it’s progress. :)
ETA: I’ve added the ability to comment to the gallery as well. we’ll see how long it takes the spammers to find it.
this is more for my own benefit, so unless you really care about what I need to do, scroll on by…
if you have me bookmarked, please update. I’ve moved the site to this address: http://knit.criosa.com/blog
if your link is to criosa.com/knitblog you’ll automatically be redirected. if you have criosa.com/knitblog/ you’ll get an error message. I don’t know why - apparently the / makes a difference to the internal workings of the website.
I will be working on updating all the photo links, webring info, etc. so you’ll probably encounter some broken images for a little while. please drop me an email if you encounter them in the next couple days so I can get them fixed.
also, it’s not changed yet, but the gallery has been upgraded and is now at http://knit.criosa.com/photos
ETA: huzzah! Webrings are sorted out (I was having issues with it, finally figured out why!) and I think for the most part the webring & link image/buttons are.
I’ve rejoined the Knitting Blogs ring (apologies to the ring-keepers for my laziness in relocating the code earlier. it truly was a pain in the butt figuring out why I couldn’t get them to work in the sidebar area. but now it’s all sorted out, and I shouldn’t have that problem again)
in other news, comments don’t seem to be working. grr. argh. we’ll figure that out soon.
I finally finished adding the past photos to the new gallery and captioning them.
now, for a thumbnail test…
edit: yay, it works… now, to change the thumbnail links throughout the site. *sigh*
I just finished the sleeves. good timing too. my sis is in the hospital and going to have her baby within the next week. apparently this one is making up for the two girls (the girls were both born a week or two late. he’ll be a little over a month early!)
I’m having a bit of an issue with the pattern though. I’ve modified the sweater here into a cardigan. Not so much the problem. But there’s no where in the instructions telling me when/where I need to block. (I’m assuming because the pattern calls for an acrylic yarn.) So I don’t know if I should block before I seam it or after. I suppose I should go dig thru one of the books for blocking info - I have enough of them! lol
I’ve decided to use navy blue snaps for the closure, after running into problems finding a decent length zipper that seperates and being indecisive on the whole button thing (as well as insecure in my sewing abilities - don’t want it to come off and have choking hazards). The wonderful knitters at the Knitty Coffeeshop have given some advice and directed me towards this article at ChicKnits. So, off to JoAnns tomorrow with my coupon in tow to pick up the snaps and the ribbon.
In website news:
I’ve taken a lot of pics and have determined that I’ve outgrown the photo gallery thing I’ve been using, so I plan to upgrade that. I also want to finish reworking the layout here. And I’ve determined that there’s too many pics of Kashka invading here, so she’s getting her own photo gallery as well (so my aunt can love my kitty from afar. ;)).
So I’m off to work on that… updates and photos to come.
