The good, the bad, and the ugly
The good: As I write this, my local knitting group is meeting . . .
The bad: . . . and I am not there! Why? I've been sick for the last day and a half. It's nothing serious (a bad cold that's likely to run its course in another day or two), but I'm not feeling up to an outing. And I don't want to subject everyone else to my sneezing-hacking-coughing triumverate.
The good: I've nearly finished with the Christmas stocking I've been working on for the past two weeks . . .
The bad: . . . but after I closed its heel I realized that the pre-decrease foot is just way too short.
The good: I haven't closed the toe yet, so it won't be too difficult to undo all those rows and reknit the foot. It's pretty easy and should take me only a few days to finish . . .
The bad: . . . but that's a few more days I have to wait until I get to experience Project Completion Satisfaction! Sigh.
The ugly: Blogger has been misbehaving very badly for the last week and a half. In that time I (and countless others, if the comments in the Blogger help forums are any indication) have been unable to post pictures. I upload them, the HTML appears in my post, but no picture is there either when I preview the post or publish it. I've tried different browsers (Firefox, Safarai, IE) on different platforms (PC, Mac), to no avail. I even tried a complicated workaround that was suggested in the forums (created a Blogger Beta blog, uploaded images there, then copied-and-pasted them into my good ol' vanilla Blogger), and that didn't work either. I've posted in the help forums about this and have even sent into two help tickets to Blogger, but nothing is working yet. A blog without images is . . . well, not my blog. (I know that some people never include pictures, but I'm all about the photos in my land.) I'm hoping this is fixed soon. If anyone out there has suggestions, I'm all ears!
