A Study in Contrasts

I am totally cheating with this photo, because I didn’t want to give you all the blather to follow without SOMEthing to look at, even if it’s only an obligatory Lizard Ridge image. (but here’s a hint — that square? DONE.)

So here’s what’s good: WordPress has upgrades to fix some security holes, etcetera, and the latest of these was released about a week ago.

What I did: Upgraded my WordPress. What I did NOT do: Remember to save all my theme information duplicated someplace else BEFORE I upgraded. What’s frustrating? My WordPress admin page STILL says I have an upgrade that needs to get done. ~headdesk~

There was a very scary few minutes there tonight where the whole site was blown away, everything looked like hell, and BOY-HOWDY-I-tell-you-whut*, there were some interesting curse words flowing from this here YarnGeek for a bit. But all now seems to be functioning okay, the headers are still rotating and seem to be the correct images, so let me know if you see something out of whack, but I will call it fixed the noo. (also, I sense A Disturbance In The Force that means there should be new header images getting added in over the next little while, so if you’re the sort who refreshes the page to entertain yourself or to find a header that better matches your mood, have some fun with that sometime after Thursday, won’t you?)

This week’s agenda includes a duvet-making tutorial for Elspeth (now with miniature duvets!), some more information on my local thrift store haunt for Sarah, a finished Lizard Ridge square rectangle, some gifty yarn for my three or four remaining readers who commented on the post in which I begged for comments, and a new project on the needles with some new yarn to go with it. I was on a roll there last week with the blogging, and I MEANT to have a post for you every day, but I fell short of that (somewhat lofty) goal. I’m not making promises because life is bound to interfere, but just check back now and again, as the knitting/blogging mojo has definitely returned, and I hope to have lots more to say and share this year than last.
