I was inspired by all the knitting needles I have lying about the studio at the moment, and while I was watching a particularly unentertaining film the other night I decided to try my hand at a bit of knitting. Weridly I've been hoarding wool since I was 15 (that was the last time I knitted) so I had a few balls to choose from, I went for this crazy electric pink. After digging out my craft book to remind me how to cast on I was away and happily knitting for the evening. I used the circular needles so I can made a snood(here's a picture in case you're not sure what a snood is), so at least it will be functional. I've already decided that when I'm finished I want to make myself some sleeves/wristlets. I don't profess to be a great or fast knitter, but it's nice to do it while watching a cheesy crime drama, and just let my brain go to sleep for a while. I doubt I'll turn into an avid knitter like all of my Aunts, but there something nice about putting on a cozy scarf that you know you've made yourself., here's hoping I get it finished by Winter!!

New Tweaks to Blog Design, and a Spot of Knitting

Blog Layout
I eventually got an 'about me' and 'contact' tab, I don't know why it took me so long to figure it out!I've been meaning to do it for ages, but I couldn't find where to add it. I know it's a small niggling thing but I wished it looked more like a tab, if the blue background went up and around it in a curve it would be far prettier I think.The next thing I'd love to add would be the networking options at the bottom of each post. Does anyone know if I can get those on blogspot? You know the little gadget that says share, facebook, twitter etc. If anyone could fill me in, I'd love to hear from you.
Are there any other bells and whistles that you like to see on a blog?
Does anyone know where the option for the 'you might also like' at the end of a blog post, where it gives a link and thumbnails to older and similar posts. I've always liked that on other blogs, but I just went looking and I couldn't find it.Also I'm going to be updating my links soon, so if you want me to link to your lovely blog just leave a comment here and I'll add you to the list.
