Matt has spent most of the day trying to get the iBook to link to our server as this will allow me access to a lot of my saved work, bookmarks etc. I think the answer to the Moveable type problem lies with my choice of browser. When I use Mozilla Firefox on the pc and Safari on the iBook I don't see the edit buttons. When I switch to Internet Explorer I get them!
I'm still not getting notification of comments on the blog either. Think I'll have to go and live in the Apple store in Regent Street for a few days!
On the knitting front I'm stalled! The moss stitch is probably heading towards the frog pond as my hands ache too much to do more than 4 rows at a time. My 10 cones from Coldspring Mills are sparking all sorts of ideas but no instant hits and besides the cones will be too heavy to carry around for commuter knitting. I think that will have to be the mysterystolealong. I finished the Nantasket Basket that I started at the Yarn House. This is a bit of a gamble as I chose the wrong weight of yarn (but its impossible not to buy Silkwood when I see it) and had to regauge all the measurements. Hopefully once it is felted it will be a sturdy basket of a size large enough to hold my current project.
Amelia asked if the shawl was for me - a very definate yes! (I'm not sure if she was hinting that it might be an ideal birthday present for someone with a birthday in July). The yarn from Lesley and the pattern from Norma both arrived on the day that Gran died so this is my comfort shawl.
When in doubt get out the purple cotton and knit a dishcloth

If you want help with moss stitch bring it to Liberty on Wednesday, Lyssie loves it. I think she is my daughter as she has my love of knitting, the strange side of her must come from her father!

I considered offering to help with the moss stitch but moss stitch + harris tweed? I think I might go insane. How much of it have you done?
