Yarns of many different colours - RSS is finally RS









Finally, finally, finally I am getting the hang of this. My feeds are on - putting pictures on is now a breeze (thats my lounge room with the first four patches of the blanket coming together).
I could go on for hours about the reasons RSS took so long- the stories of attempts to get Powerhouse loaded only to have it fail.
Or of following the Photo of the Day ( Mosman Bay), my old stamping ground, only to end up on a Mosman Library Blog feeling pathetically inept.
Or the endless hours searching for links related to storytellers or childrens literature only to find that most of us (storytellers and childrens authors) are also pathetically inept and don't have RSS feeds. So most of my favourite journals either need you to pay for subcribng or they don't have links. Yes some of us are still old fashioned.
I didn't get around to following up knitting links as my title page implies. Been too busy sorting out odd sized knitting 'squares' to do that.
But cheers the group now has one blanket about to be sewn up into a Crazy pPtch blanket. Look out for more photos.

Picture Plus




Well today I push myself a little further, looking for images that portray a couple of my common loves, storytelling and the new found Knitting group fad. Naomi calls us the Nitwits. Our blanket is growing and should be a great "Mondrian" if I can work out how to get it together. Watch for the photo to come out soon!


May be true for her but I'm only half the person she is so am I a halfwit?


Anyway back to the job at hand to get a photo that links this two skills. I rather like this little one, wonder if I can knit something like this to take to Kids Big Day Out Storytelling at Mt Coot-tha next week


Thanks blossombird for her photo found at the supplied linkhttp://www.flickr.com/search/?q=+knitting+stories&m=text
