No Photos!

Blogger has just updated their interface, and so, of course, there is a problem. This particular one seems to mean that there are no photos in my blog. That includes the sidebar. All of them have been removed! I've been to blogger help after I tried unsuccessfully to replace a photo that had gone. Everybody on blogger seems to be having this problem, and can't even replace their photos. So, you won't be seeing any photos here for a while.

Don't we just love progress?

Oh, and by the way, the reason they changed their interface so that it would deal with photos better!

They're not offering any help on the help forum, so let's hope that they're aware of the problem and are doing something about it, although it would be nice to know if that's the case.

V will premier tomorrow night, so SyFy has gotten on the bandwagon and is showing (probably all of the original) V today, this evening, and tomorrow. I think it might just end in time to switch over and see the premier of the new season!

If you have a DVR (or TiVo) you might want to set it to see the new episode of Lost, though.

As for tonight, there is a new Chuck, a rerun of The Big Bang Theory, and a new Castle, which is the second half of last week's episode. We'll get to find out if Beckett survived the explosion.

I was reading one of my favorite blogs, The Drex Files, and found this entry that tickled me now end. It's about someone who is marketing covers to put on your garage doors to make it look like the door is open and there's something in your garage that's different than what's really there.

I've been following the Steve Canyon comics on his blog, and it's really fun.

*************************

It's cold and rainy here. I hope it's better where you are! Have a great beginning of the week and a wonderful Spring break (if that applies to you)! Here's hoping that you will see photos here again sometime soon!

************************

Addition:

So, after writing all that, I publish this and go to look at my sad blog with no photos, and they're back! At least some of them are. I'm seriously confused at this point!

Red Alert! Red Alert!

Blogger, which has been a great place to blog until today, in it's wisdom, decided that it should remove everything I put up there for your and my convenience. So, almost everything in my sidebar is GONE!

I'm going to fix this as quickly as I can, but for the time being, you can't find the free patterns, or a lot of other great links.

I am so angry I could spit nails!

******************************


Check out the article about a Wonder Woman sweater here! You can get the general instructions (more of a recipe) here. All I can say is--WOW!

These general instructions would work well to make other types of superhero sweaters, too, so if you want a sweater for some other hero, here's your chance!

*****************************

Learn to design a shawl! If you've always wanted to design your own knitwear, this is the best time to start! I have a pattern on Etsy for a simple triangular shawl that you can make out of any weight yarn you want to use. It's less a pattern than it is instructions on how to design your own. I've talked to a few people who have bought this pattern, and I've gotten rave reviews, along with a batch of photos of finished shawls. The best thing about these photos is that all of them are very different!


The two above are ones I've made from the pattern, and the one below was made by a friend from the pattern.



Of course, whatever shawl you make from the pattern will be perfect for you.

And any sales of the pattern before or on the 28th of February will get half the price ($3) donated to Doctors Without Borders (in the name of the person who buys the pattern) for help in Haiti. I am about to list that information on Ravelry, so you will be able to find the pattern in their special section soon.

********************

I have so many things to do at the moment. Listing the pattern on Ravelry, fixing my blog (which will be done a bit at a time over a period of time), and lots more.

I hope you're having a great weekend!

Addition:

I found out what's happening. Blogger has been publishing my posts to a different blog! I've found the posts and put them up in this blog, so I'm up to date, although some of the posts have the wrong time and date on them.

Sorry!
