Can you hear me now?

I have no idea why I'm having such a hard time editing the template on this blog.  It seems like a parts changer -- but it isn't.

The last time I changed the background it looked great. It was pretty busy, but there was a foreground frame around the text with an opaque backing so it was easy to read.  Today I wanted to add this blog address to my Ravelry page & came to copy the URL and couldn't read a word.  ARGH!!!  Tertiary light color of the text was completely lost in that textured oil-on-canvas ground.  Totally sucked.

So I've changed the whole thing and I'm hoping maybe more folks will visit, now that you can read the damned thing!!!

Been knitting, trying a little experimenting & I'm starting an Inspiria cowl.  So far so good.  I tried out my color combo choice with a hat first & had to change one of the two color ways.  Didn't look bad, exactly, but it wasn't what I wanted/expected.  How many times do you think I have to learn that putting two skeins together and loving the result does not mean that they'll work up with the same result?  Once a month?  A quarter?  A year?  As long as the time between the lessons keeps growing longer I guess I'm making progress.  <g>


Happy Solstice/Christmas/Yule/Chanukkah/Kwanza/Pancha Ganapati/Hogmanay/New Year to all.  May peace grow in the New Year.
