Like designing, there's more to blogging than meets the eye. I've been trying to get some of those cool buttons to link to other blogs, but all I got was a picture of said button. Bummer! Turns out you need a little HTML to do that. So I'm gonna be plowing through an HTML book this weekend to see if I can learn anything. Always something new.

Am reading "Blogging for Dummies". Some of it explains the obvious, like how to get to Blogger and read the instructions. Apparently I could have got myself in a real mess and decided to blog on WordPress. It looks nifty, but you have to download the software and publish the thing from scratch! How can you write great thoughts when you have to figure out geekspeak? HTML is going to be challenge enough.

Am nearly finished with a successful practice sock! Well, at least it will be wearable. I still get that itty bitty hole that shows up at the ankle when you finish with the short rows and start knitting in the round again. I think this time I simply forgot to pick up the wrapped stitches. Since I have to knit the mate to this one, there will be another opportunity to work with this problem.

This one I'm calling the Michelin Man sock for the horizontal ribbing at the cuff. Someone has probably done this before, so I'll have to check it out before offering this one for sale. It is a fun and easy sock, though. Knitty might like it, especially if I figure out the hole in the ankle thing.
