So from my browser's list of Favourites or Bookmarks I can see whether you have updated your site and go straight to the latest posting. Not sure how you get it in Internet Explorer but I use Firefox, and on the right hand end of the address bar is a little orange icon. If I click it I can get an rss link to that site if it does rss feeds - and blogger does. <BR/>(I've put my email address on my profile now if you'd rather keep this techie stuff off your blog! And I won't be at all offended if you delete this comment!)Frankiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05038719993308338047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25741243.post-1145818477243209652006-04-23T11:54:00.000-07:002006-04-23T11:54:00.000-07:00Thanks for your comments, Frankie.

And I've had so many hobbies I gave up very soon after starting, he thinks this will go the same way. But it won't - ha ha! And I'm going to knit wherever I jolly well like - brave words indeed. Re the sock thing - have you noticed the link on my sidebar? I found it very helpful when I started a few weeks ago - you might find it helpful too. Good luck!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16597601271517814085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25741243.post-1145781098182026022006-04-23T01:31:00.000-07:002006-04-23T01:31:00.000-07:00It's a lovely blog Alice.

Have you worked out how to get an rss link?<BR/>The shawl looks gorgeous, so does the fruit. And I'm very impressed with your sock skills. I bought some sock yarn and needles and haven't got beyond the casting on row yet. Now I've bought a circular needle and some bigger dpns so I can practice knitting in the round a bit before I tackle those teeny needles.<BR/>Talking of negotiating the place of knitting in relationships, a friend told me of a work collegue who comes into work early so she can knit in peace. They had to build a loft extension in their house to house her woollies and wool, and her husband is so anti-knitting now she has to buy her wool in cash and smuggle it into the house. I knit everywhere - bus, tube, train. People have often struck up conversations about it - usually about the important people in their lives who knitted, and how much they'd like to do it themselves.Frankiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05038719993308338047noreply@blogger.com
