Something new [part 3]

Firstly, thanks to all those who dropped by and wished me well on the anniversary of my blog's existence. While I was 'redecorating', I considered changing my blog's name. I thought something simple like "Lynne Knits" but I also crochet and dye so that was too exclusive. I rather like "Life, the Yarniverse and Everything" or "Life in the Yarniverse" but there's a yarn store called Yarniverse and I don't think they'd appreciate it. Since I knit mostly for charity [although you'd never know it at the moment between the ungiven baby blanket and the wedding stole] I also considered "Knit to Give" but, again, I also have other yarn habits! Maybe that should be my blog name!!

Anyway, I've decided to leave it as it is for now - I feel I'm only just getting known in Blogland so now may not be the time to change!! Feel free to share your opinion - I really want to know what readers think.

Speaking of my blog, you have probably noticed that I have finally figured out how to put a photo on my blog header - one of my own hand-dyed yarns from last January, photo courtesy of WM. It was all in getting the 800x200 picture size!

Lastly, - the wedding stole* progresses - I'm now up to 28 repeats [the end of the centre panel is in sight, people].

*Somewhere along life's journey I have learnt shawl = triangular, stole is used for rectangular pieces so even though Jane Sowerby calls it 'Myrtle Leaf Shawl' my head keeps saying 'stole'.

I'm off to knit!
