The 2 most significant developments are:
moving my blog to a different blogging platform
You may notice only a slight difference in the layout of the blog, but it took many hours of work to make it look exactly the same as the previous Wordpress version. I now have full control over the source code of my blog and will hopefully be able to do a bunch of cool things with it.
getting a knitting machine
I started thinking about getting one about 2 years ago but didn't make up my mind until January this year. I'm now a proud owner of a Silver Reed SK280 Punchcard Standard Gauge knitting machine. More on it in a separate post.
In March I attended Stitches West - this was my first knitting convention. I was after coned yarn for my knitting machine, but there were so many more things that I liked there that I ended up with a few individual patterns, a number of knitting magazines, and of course, many pounds of yarn (coned, hanked, and skeined).
I have been working on a variety of projects as well. Most haven't made it into the site yet but will soon. Just to give you an idea of what's coming, here are the things I've made in the last few months:
Crocheted Android - I love my Android phone and its little green robot-mascot. I had to make one.
I knitted 4 sweaters on my knitting machine. 2 of them were designed by me; the patterns for the other 2 I got from knitting magazines and converted to the instructions for a knitting machine.
I used one of the individual patterns that I got at Stitches West to make a tunic top.
In addition to catching up on posting all the projects that I've finished, I have a bunch of other ideas for the site - tutorials, yarn converters, pattern generators. I hope to get to it soon.
