Soo... 2 months with a blog, 2 blog platforms. Not counting the Livejournal account that I created for reading and crossposting. After way too much frustration with blosxom, I decided to rebuild my site using MoveableType. Things have been a bit easier so far, but I'm still gonna have to monkey with installing Perl modules in my user account to get the crossposting stuff working. *sigh*

Slowly but surely I'm making progess on my crack at "Under The Hoodie" from Stitch 'N Bitch. Over the weekend I nearly finished the front but didn't quite have enough of the main color yarn with me. I polished that off yesterday which marked the completion of the body of the sweater. At The Tech Museum in San Jose, I knitted my way through the exhibits and got about 4 inches of the sleeves done. I'm knitting both sleeves simultaneously on a circular needle. This trick was pointed out by someone on the Knitty forums as being in Stitch 'N Bitch Nation. Definitely handy, as I'm not all that fond of sleeves. I'm about 8 inches up the sleeves now. After that, the hood and assembly will be all that remains. I decided to skip the pocket, mostly out of laziness.
