good news and bad news

Bad news first. It looks like I'm going to have to delete and reinstall my blogging software. Ugh! My webhost did something last week that caused some database corruption and I'm losing more data every day. At this point, I'm having to do my archives by hand. Double ugh! The reinstall is going to be a huge job, since I've got several blogs each with its own templates, configuration and archiving systems. Triple ugh! I can see that there will be very little knitting going on this weekend.

Good news. I'm working on the yoke of the all season's tank and it's looking great. I can't wait to wear it! And for all of you who aren't yet tired of seeing pics of the boys: here they are at the marathon yesterday.

Aw, man! That's awful! If you need help, let me know.

(Could it be that you have little server space left? I once read at the Movable Type forum that running out of space can make whole entries disappear - sometimes chunks at a time. Regardless, it's always a good idea to export your entries from time to time as a way to backup. I do it once a week to keep from losing any entries. That way, if I ever have to reinstall M.T., I can just import your backup and voila! It's all there again.)

I can't believe how smart that Becky is. Yowza.

I'm glad you found Wolfe Fiber Arts. That was the place I wanted to tell you about. It's walking distance from my house. How dangerous is that. Next year, when you come back here, I'll meet you there and babysit so you can get yourself into all kinds of trouble.

Thanks for the nice words about Columbus. I've lived here for 6 years, and have really come to appreciate its charms.

I used the Baby Ull in the purple and spring green color. The rest are superwash wools in similar weight.
Love that top!! And the boys are darling as usual.
