- Good news! The sock has been reunited with it’s owner. Linda in Ottawa is again in possession of a set. The saga was even included in Ravelry’s Forum Funnies this week.
- Bad news! I have my first sock hole!
It was inevitable really as these were the socks I grafted to within an inch of their life when the yarn was cut into a million pieces. I guess I’ll be doing some darning research. - The new Twist Collective is out and it’s brilliant. There’s hardly a piece I wouldn’t make.
- The Interweave Winter preview is also out. Whatevs.
- I think it’s time for a custom header on this here blog. Only problem is I haven’t a clue as to how to do it. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Please keep in mind I don’t, unfortunately, have Photoshop.
- I’ve been cooking up a storm since there’s little else to do around these parts. The showstoper recipe of the week is these Cottage Cheese Pancakes. Oh my. So good.
- I’ve been spending my evenings while Chris is working with all the lights on and brainstorming design ideas with a healthy dose of help from the Domino Magazine website. I’ll try to spread out the inspiration pictures I’ve been accumulating but here’s a good’un.

This is both the colour I want to paint the living room and the treatment I want to use for the headboard. I can’t wait to get started!

Glad that the sock was reunited! I would have been wicked pissed off to lose a hand knit sock!
The only way I know how to do banners is on Photoshop. Are you on a Mac or PC?

So glad to hear about the sock! And thanks for all the tidbits here.
I made my header the simplest way I could think of doing it. I didn’t know how to write on top of a photograph (I don’t have Photoshop either) so I took a piece of paper, wrote my blog name on it by hand, sprinkled a few stitch markers and yarn bits on top, took a picture and cropped it. I’m sure there’s a better way to do it though.

Banner? Just ask moi. Apparently I’m much better at doing graphics for others than I am for myself (my juliamadill.com website should be live tomorrow-ish)
That headboard treatment is genius! And I’m not even going to follow the link to cottage cheese pancakes – sounds dangerous!
