I cast on in May
hoping to wear this in June.
Now it’s September.
Have you noticed the hiatus? I got sort of busy with home and work stuff. But… the other reason is I also started a blog on blogging.
Oddly enough, by just posting things I’ve learned while blogging about knitting I am experiencing quite a bit of traffic and thing called “stumbles” from the “in the know” people.
Mind you, I didn’t even know what “stumbles” were before I began blogging about blogging. That said, it looks like my post on how to protect your blog from being hacked using “htaccess” has gotten a few “stumbles”, and may soon get a flood of traffic. ( Never mind that that’s a rehashed post that appeared on a knitting blog back in 2005! )
Still, when I saw this from Berrocco and had to post. The blogging, work and gardening projects have been interfering with my knitting. So, projects I strated in May are being finished now. (I’ll try to show the “gardening” projects soon. They involved filling the garage with flagstone to create a sort of second patio where we plan to put a fire pit. The garden changes are actually unbelievable.)
I’ll try to resume posting two or three times a week now! I hope you all had a great summer!
The pattern for the top is from Berrocco.

So, where is the link to your blogging about blogging site?
I am glad you are back with haikus. I really missed the.

Ehrmm… here!

Strangely enough, I’m attracting traffic rather quickly.

Ok, you sucked me in with that pattern. Good taste, it’s nice. On the blogging theme, I don’t even know what ’stumbles’ are, but I’ve been tracking my blog traffic — it is an interesting thing, and I have considered a blog post on tracking. Dunno, maybe that’s not appropriate for a knitting blog?
BTW, I ’stumbled’ on you through the ringsurf knitblog thing.
Thanks for the pattern link.

Oh you’re just being modest- there is no strange reason why you are attracting traffic over at big bucks, it’s really good content and it’s funny. I watched Om Malik’s show recently with the digg guy vs. Jason C. and all I kept thinking was about how funny it was you were ripping him to shreds on big bucks blog…
Speaking of threads, ohhhhhhhh what I wouldn’t do to get a little tank like that one up there, it is so cute. But I am not a knitter… maybe I will run into something like it in the thrift stores or something. -Michelle

Thanks Michelle!
I find it amazing that Jason has raised many millions for his idea of a search engine. Human created lists of links can be the best kind– they also take a lot of work and effort.
Seeing the a tech guy suddenly saying that’s going to work would be like reading a knitter say she’s going to put Hanes out of business by hand knitting underwear!

LOL.. now that is funny that your post was from 2005! But there IS a lot of really good/valuable info out there that people miss! I’m glad people were able to benefit from your post - even if it was a year or two later!

Well, the funny thing (to knit bloggers) is that our niche was the one commonly single out as the “low tech, know nothing about blogging rules/ technology etc.” platform when people would discuss blogging.
The reality is rather different. If you visit knitting blogs, you’ll find the niche leans toward professional women!
Comment by lucia — 8/23/2007 @ 12:08 pm
Yup, definitely. Most of the persons I know that knit are educated, college degree professionals. Pretty much the opposite of the stereotype most persons would expect.
