Well, it happened again. I wrote an entire post and when I went to remove a picture, it removed the entire post (even though the post was saved previous to adding the pictures?) Guess I'm going to have to write my posts on Word and then copy and paste them here as Perpetua suggested. The thing is, I've never had this problem before now...
I also should be at the studio this morning working on my pottery cylinders. Unfortunately I woke up with a headache, so I doubt that I would get much done. I think the headache is due to my spending too much time knitting lately. I find that if I knit for a long time and concentrate on counting stitches, I tend to get a headache. But I did finally finish my baby blanket that I've been working on - on and off - for a while.
This is a picture of it. Don't know if you can see the pattern well, but it's kind of a basket weave.
Another view...
And this is the next pattern that I would like to make. It's a knitted patchwork.
Another view...
How was your Labor Day? I needed to run some errands so I texted my grandson to see if he would like to go with me and we could pick up lunch while we were out. I told him that it was fine if he had other plans (14 year olds may not want to run errands with their memaw). Fortunately he said that he would really like to do that. So we had a nice time and got to talk a bit since we haven't had much time for that lately. My grandkids are at the crossroads this year with one starting highschool, one starting middle school, one starting elementary school, and one turning one year old!
Well, I think I'm going to spend the morning making cookies to send to my cousin in New Orleans for her birthday next week. Then if my head feels better, I'll think about going to the studio this afternoon.
I can definitely see the pattern in the finished item, and I do very much like the looks of the new one. I cannot figure out what is causing the post to disappear when you remove a picture. It's gone somewhere, I'll wager! :-)
ReplyDeleteSomewhere out into cyberspace... I guess. I have lost entire websites before with no explanations, so I guess it's a cyber-mystery (unless Blogger is just acting up for whatever reason).
DeleteAs for the new knitted blanket, I haven't started it yet as I need to buy more yarn. The 'thing is' I have lots of yarn, but not enough of one kind or color to do the blanket unless I want it multi-typed and multi-colored. So at the moment I'm doing a leftover yarn scarf. But as soon as I finish that, I'm off to buy more.
The ferals I feed sometimes sit up on the wheel of one of the trucks at the warehouse. At first it worried me but now I know they are smart enough to high-tail it when the men arrive to start them up.
ReplyDeleteLove the blankets. I wish I had more time to knit for my new grand-baby coming soon. I'd have to stay up all night. Hope the headache is gone. Deb
The kittens seem to know when to abandon the truck also... but it still worries me.
DeleteYou don't have to have the baby blanket ready when the baby is born... apparently I never do. This one is just finished and baby is now 9 months.
As for headache, it is now gone and I went to my pottery class this morning.
I have put aside my knitting for a long time now, but yours does give me a little itch to take some out.
ReplyDeleteScratch that itch, Olga, and start knitting. It is strange though that there are times when you just *feel* like knitting (or whatever) and other times... not so much. And I would think that at this moment in your life it may be important that you stay busy.
ReplyDeleteThat knitted patchwork looks complicated to me. I like it, though, it's very pretty, and like your basket weave one. I can't tell if it's similar to what I've done from time to time: knit in multiples of 4 (or 3 or whatever), and so do k4, p4 for four rows (for example) and then switch and do p4 and k4 for four rows. I like that pattern, it's simple (which is what I need) and it's attractive. I'm out of knitting mode right now, though. Maybe you'll inspire me this winter. I have tons of leftover wool and even have two projects in progress that I put down and never got back to.
ReplyDeleteAs for Google, boo hiss. I'm waiting for Google to force everyone into Google+ or whatever their social media thing is. I've managed to avoid it so far, but have concerns for the future. The problem is that I have 133 Picasa albums filled with photos, for which I pay extra $ for storage, I have 3 Gmail accounts, 2 published blogs, I use Google Calendar and Google Drive...You get the picture. My life is on Google. :-(
The knitted patchwork is not complicated (I don't do complicated). As for the basket weave, it is not the multiples of 4, but it is only knit and purl - thus easy. I'm doing a K2P2 pattern now on a scarf (to use up some leftover expensive yarn that isn't enough to do much else with)and you are right, the pattern is simple, but attractive. I have done a little cable and popcorn stitch... but you have to pay attention which means that I can't watch TV at the same time or I mess up. And Tux hates me to knit. He actually tries to sit on my yarn or knock the needles from my hands.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful baby blanket, Rian and the new pattern looks good too.
ReplyDeleteSorry you're having difficulties with Blogger again. I've tried to duplicate the problem you're having but can't get it to happen for me. If you's like to email me (address in my profile) and describe exactly what you're doing when the whole post disappears, I'll see if I can help.
