website woes



i am struggling with my website, so if i go absent for any length of time, assume it is broken. this is my THIRD time trying to post this, so now you are getting the short version. i am so confused as to my new ftp path stuff that i can't get blogger to upload pics correctly (i can hack it a bit to get it to work as you can see). it is dumb. hopefully my hosting company can help me. and i don't even want to talk about my haloscan experience this weekend. so onto the knitting content...

i have no real valentine today so i did gifties for my parents and friends. my dad is a cookie monster, so for him



for my mom, a knitted gift



this is the face cloth from weekend knitting. i checked out the book from the library last week. this is the only pattern that i really like from the book. i plan to make more, it was quick!

the color is almost identical to the color of the cable scarf i made for my mom. this seems to be the only color besides brown or black that she wants. i like to knit with color so i always choose the green.



now there is a lot of color! i decided i wasn't happy with the blue/green/purple kureyon i bought. it has way too much gray. i have decided to mix in some other kureyon along the way. it may hinder the flow, but if it doesn't turn out beautiful at least it will be interesting.

my first two posts had a lot more (before they went missing that is), but it is 1 a.m. now so i need to get to bed. i will save the other 'stuff' for tomorrow.

wishing everyone a day full of much love :)

The cookies look so yummy...where did you get the cookie cutters?! So cute! I'm diggin' the entrelac...isn't it addictive? I made a felted market squares bag for my mom last year and I loved working on it. It was like a race (w/ myself, i know kinda lame) to get to the next color! Friday I got a new iBook G4...I'm soooo excited!

The cookies are so cute! Is that the cookie cutter set from Williams Sonoma? I looked at it but never went back for it...wonder if it'll be on sale tomorrow? :-) There's no gift better than home-baked goodies!

the cookie cutter is indeed from williams sonoma :) it is GREAT! the little letter press thing works really well, but definately needs to be floured. i also found you can't push it too hard. i bet it will be on sale tomorrow. i am a sucker for conversation heart stuff so i could't wait to buy it!

I think a trip to Williams-Sonoma is in my near future.. those cookies are too cute! I usually make fortune cookies for V day... but now I might have to make both.
You can't have too many cookies.
