Work In Progress
Tonight (or should I say, this morning) the title of my post has nothing to do with knitting, an everything to do with the fact that I am carefully monitoring the behavior of one of our customer's server systems. You gotta love anything that impacts the usability of a server -- it happens at night. So while many people get to sleep, someone gets to watch and see that this computer is pushing its electrons around correctly.
So far, so good. In a half an hour or so, I will probably feel good enough about it following the instructions it was given to go to bed and check out the (hopefully) completed process in the morning.
It's funny to me, that after all the time I have been exposed to computers and the Internet, it still amazes me that I can sit in my desk chair in Chicago and have a special bonding moment with a server almost anywhere else in the world. It's the same kind of wonder I experience when I take a look at my blog stats every now and again and notice that there are hits to my blog from every continent on the planet (except from Antarctica). All I can say to that is "wow", and that I'm honored to have so many visitors from so many diverse places. Would that I had the chance to visit all the countries you all visit from!
With that in mind, if you're visiting today, and wouldn't mind commenting, let me know where you're from! If you're from the US, let me know your home state. You don't have to fill in a URL or your real email address if you don't want to. I'll put all the results together in one of those lovely maps and share it.
Thanks for dropping by today. There will be a little something to show tomorrow, since the one good thing about watch a computer go about it's business is that there's plenty of time to get in a few more rows on my pink spongy wonder.
I'm Nadia and I'm from Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Hey! I'm LeAnne from West Linn, Oregon. I can't remember how I found your blog, but undoubtedly it was a link I found on someone else's blog! Great site.
Hi, I am in IT out near Sacramento, CA. Regularly enjoy your blog and appreciate your thoughtful posts. Keep up the inspiring beautiful work.
Hey there, I'm visiting from rainy and humid upstate South Carolina (near Greenville).
I have been a quiet reader for a little over a month now, when I first discovered knitting blogs (slow starter what can I say). Thank you for reminding me about Phildar yarns. I used to knit with them when a local shop carried their line. The shop is gone and I had forgotten. Now I have started a search for a new source.
Sorry, I forgot to say I am from Hyde Park, NY.
Hello ! I am from Belgium and regularly read your blog. Congratulations on your new sweater, really very very nice !
Leesburg VA checking in...
I wandered in from Dallas TX.... I have been a silent reader of your blog and a couple of others. You have inspired me to start knitting again... I have learned so much... I now have unearthed my stash and added to it yarns I have read about such as Debbie Bliss and have bought the book with the Cashmerino baby blanket. Thank you for sharing... I had no idea there were so many silent readers around... I am a recently retired computer science teacher and finally have time to knit again.
Yet another keyboard biologist (Ph.D. in insect evolution--pimping in pharma pays the mortgage for the pharm). Knitting along in upper Bucks Co., PA.

Hi there from the sunny Cariboo in B.C., Canada!
I am working on a project that called for the yf yarn forward stitch and couldn't find it in any of my books so I googled it and found your site. It made perfect sense after reading through your description for this beginning continental style knitter. Thanks! I've bookmarked your page.
Hi! I flew in from Easton, PA...and BOY are my arms tired! (insert rimshot here)

Hi. I'm in search of some Anny Blatt yarn (or an equivalent) for a sweator pattern I've fallen for. I need 15 balls of Coprin d'Anny Blatt, preferably in a neutral and 1 ball of Mousseron. Any ideas where I might locate? If not, do you happen to know what might work? The gauge is 17 st/4" for the Coprin and 14/4" for the Mousseron. Great website!.............Sally
Oops, I forgot to mention...I'm from Minneapolis, MN, USA!.........Sally
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to leave a note on your blog. I am a silent reader of several blogs, and yours is always on my short "check it out first" list. I enjoy how so many fellow knitters have such varied backgrounds, and so much creativity when we allow it to come out. I live in Saratoga,CA. Love your blog!!
