September 2007 Archives

With our recent upgrade (Thanks son!) to MT4, I thought that I would change the blog style. What do you think? And then I had this great idea which I swear I didn't get from Dave Daniels.

My second anniversary of blogging is also approaching. October 3, 2005 was the day I created my first entry in Blogger. There was no first anniversary of blogging as it fell in the dark age between Blogger and Movable Type.
Now as it happens, I had 12 old entries on Blogger and there are 12 days until my blogiversary. So, I am going to let you all travel back in time with me by publishing one of those old entries each day for the next 12 days. Because I wanted to keep the original publication dates you will need to go to the archives to find them (at the bottom). Don't worry though. It won't be only old news on the blog. I'll keep you posted on the current stuff as well. Like this:

It's a button-up Corrugaiter! (Click to see it bigger on Flickr, but don't squint. There is a close-up of the button below.)

Get it? CorruGAITER? As in neck gaiter? HAHAHAHAHA. I crack me up. And ya gotta love Google for turning up these priceless links.

I should have made my trip report on Monday, but I had to (unexpectedly) take the cat to the vet, take myself to my "annual" physical (which I apparently haven't had for three years), pick the cat up from the vet, do the grocery shopping and laundry that didn't get done on the weekend... Well, you get the idea. All hail Norma, hostess extraordinaire, for being a good blogger and doing her part to fill you all in on this year's Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival. But she didn't show you everything!

My shiny new passport arrived this morning and I'm off to visit Norma and take in the Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival.

But before I run off, take a look over there on the sidebar. See? A link to The Corrugator pattern (in PDF format). Enjoy! I have also set up a Flickr group for The Corrugator and would be thrilled to see your Corrugators, whether finished or in progress. You will need an invite to join the group. Just leave me a comment.

That's it for now. Trip report on Monday.

Just in time for the cooler weather, I finished my second handspun wrister yesterday. Photos courtesy of youngest child, Rose, because it is difficult to take pictures of your own hands.
