I Still Knit

[lydy]

I haven't posted pictures, lately, because, well, I'm not used to Dreamwidth, and also lazy, and also other things.  So many things.  But here is a shawl I gave to Pamela.  It's me wearing it, it looks better on Pamela.  The pictures don't really show the nice, celery beads as well as I'd like.  <cut>





Sorry for the size of the image, not sure how to make it smaller.  Also, the cut tag is just not working, and I do not know why.

The yarn is a lovely, ombre handspan by Beth Friedman.  At her suggestion, I entered it into the Minnesota State Fair.  Here's the result of that:

(Arghhh.  That's supposed to be a DW hosted image of my 3rd place Ribbon at the Minnesota State Fair, but DW is not cooperating, in much the same way it is not honoring my cut tag.  If anyone knows why it's behaving badly, do let me know.)

So, I'm rather inordinately proud of myself, which may be silly, but true.

More craft posts to follow.  Like you do.

There are two editor applications associated with Dreamwidth.

I would suggest that it's nigh-certain you're using the Rich Text Editor (in which you create a cut by highlighting and clicking) as though it was the HTML editor (in which you can directly enter tags).

*IS TREMENDOUSLY ENLIGHTENED AS TO WHY DREAMWIDTH NEVER WORKS RIGHT FOR HER*

That may or may not be Lydy's problem, but I think it's mine.

This would be most of why those who rant about the evils of modal editors rant about the evils of modal editors.

Despite being a long-term vi user and very fond of XML tools where you can switch between a direct view and a styled view, in this particular sort of application I could rant a little myself.

That is really beautiful.

Beautiful!
