Technical Difficulties

Hi.  I'm still sorry about the long wait between updates.  I've had some rather impressive technical difficulties.  Hopefully, I will get the video edititng thing sorted soon.

However, I have sprained my right thumb and will be unable to use it for a while.  And yes, it is possible to sprain your thumb.  Who knew?

I do have a couple new reviews over in yarn tales, and we will have to hope that I have enough backlog to cover my crochet-free time.

Peace out,
Nellie

Sorry for the long wait...

Just a little update for right now.  Sorry, that I've been MIA, but I've had a very busy month.  I had finals for my summer classes, followed by the start of fall classes, and two of my friends getting married.  I should be updating more frequently, seeing as I've scheduled blogging time.  I even have it written in my planner.
I'm planning on an *official* update tomorrow with a new Yarn Tale and and a new noggin cozy (and hopefully stitch diagrams, but I'm not entirely sure that I've got that entirely figured out).  Just in case anyone is wondering when the offical blog update time will be, I should be posting on Mondays and/or Wednesdays after 2 PM Mountain Standard Time.  I'll try to update more often, but that was the best time to schedule it.
That's it for now.  Toodles.

Noggin Lovin

Greetings and salutations from the great far beyond in the bowels of a campus study room!
There's no yarn review today, because I was busy adding the first original pattern to the site.  Check it out over here in Noggin Cozies!
Will be adding a stitch diagram and more patterns, asap.  Please, let me know if I left out any vitally important instructions or wasn't clear enough by emailing me at knottingnellie@yahoo.com.  And if the pattern works great, please send me pics of your projects.  As soon as I start getting any I'll start a reader gallery.
More patterns and a how-to make a magic starting loop video coming soon, and a Yarn Tale update tomorrow!
Until then, toodles!

I'm Back!

A long time ago in a yarn bin far, far away... I crocheted a whole bunch of swatches!
Anyways now that I have the Star Wars bit out of my system, I have a whole bunch of updates.
First of all is that I have figured out my techincal difficulties (just because the internet is free at the library doesn't mean the screen for hackers), and I've found a corner on campus that I can hang out in for hours.  So I'll be updating as often as I said I would a month ago.  Sorry, that it took so incredibly long.
Second, I have made a whole bunch of yarn swatches for reviews in Yarn Tales!  And to make the most of having this many I will be updating with one new review everyday.  I have a new review of Loops and Threads™ Charisma™ posted today, with much more to come.
Coming soon: Email notification for blog updates (need to finish reading the how-to's).
Toodles!

I've been busy

Greetings, yarn lovers!
As you can probably guess from the title, I've been busy.  I've added a new section, "Yarn Tales," where I will be reviewing different types of yarn that I've used.  I actually already have one up.
I've also sorted out why my site was suddenly linking to a blank page.  If it dumps you, please, shoot me a line at knottingnellie@yahoo.com and let me know.
Also, please send me any crochet/yarn questions.  That way I won't have to make some up.
Thanks for visiting my blog!

Update for 06/04/2010

Hi everyone!
I've been poking around a bit today. I've got a links page up that I will be adding to as I get more firmly going.  I also have an All About Nellie section up, which tells all about me (go figure), as well as goals for the site, policies, and contact info.  I will also be adding an Ask Nellie section in just a minute.  Ask Nellie is a section where you can ask just about anything about crochet, and we will all see if I can answer it (or make up an answer).  If anyone has a better name for that section, I would love to hear it, because I'm drawing a complete blank.
That's about it for today, I'll get some more up tomorrow.

Thanks

Hi, everybody!
