I’ve begun what I’ll eventually look back upon as an odd few months but which now simply seems a bit of a hellish struggle peppered with relief, excitement, and a bit of blinding fear (dude. No. I’m not pregnant. Imagination, people!). I’ll eventually spill all here, but for now, please be patient as my mood might be variable, I might speak in tongues or riddles, and my posting schedule might be erratic. Not that I was ever terribly regular in my posting schedule.
S5, eh? That seems so far away. We'll make it, though. It'll be an epic
journey.
Lemme know if you need a hand with CSS or WP. Welcome to the fold.
The new IC issue is simply stunning. There needs to be a traveling trunk show of the designs for LYS'. I hope some will be modeled in the conference fashion show in Portland this week? Or maybe you'll be attending, blithely wearing one around? “Oh, this is a new design by __, isn't it wonderful?….Why yes, the pattern *is* available….thanks to moi.”
There's always a trunk show! Tell your LYS to bring it in. :) Its first stop
will be at the launch event for this issue at Threadbear Fiber Arts in
Lansing, MI on Saturday the 20th.
I've now revealed to the world that I am, yes, a trunk show virgin. I just need to own that and move forward. There's a new-new-new yarn shop in my neighborhood and I betcha they don't know anything about trunk shows yet either. And they are a little slice of juicy crochet heaven! Way! Come to think of it, they are proudly displaying the IC China Doll cover design. I'll send you the pic I took of it in the shop with the crocheter who made it for them!
Ooh, exciting! Let them know that Annie Bakken is the person to contact
about setting up trunk shows. :)
Completely forgot to mention…Adam Baldwin shows up in S5, so it's COMPLETELY worth sticking around for that. Think I could watch the Adam Baldwin/David Boreanaz Show round the clock.
CSS and WP…I have to purchase an upgrade in order to make my changes stick?
Hrm? Oh, right. WordPress.com. I don't know how that works differently than
WP installed on a server (which is how I use it). Email me any info that's
sticking and I'll try to make sense of it. You might have to stick with
their templates without altering.
Wait, that's how LYSes get trunk shows? They just ask? Hot damn. Now, does one ask all of one's LYSes or just the one most likely to take one's request into account?
Oh, and I swear to god, the Fall issue looks like perfection. I looked at it and had to tell everyone who knows I crochet, including those (my sister) who don't care about crocheting except to say that my yarn takes up too much space already.
Thanks, Marikka. And yes, like most things, all you have to do is ask. :)
Well, there are other constraints. There are only so many stores that can
fit into the whole trunk-show schedule. But, yup! Hit up the store most
likely to want to do it, and if you want you can put them in touch with me
and I'll put them in touch with the right people to see what's possible.
Oh I am so in love with the new IC! It looks fantastic!
And thanks to you, I'm a disques user!

Heh. I hadn't thought of that. But isn't replying by email, like, the greatest blog-commenting phenom, ever?

Yeah, I gave up on Angel the first time around haflway through S2. Now that I've gone through the whole series, I can tell you that S3 is pretty good, S4 is fairly disappointing, and S5 is redemptive.
I really, really, really love Twitter too. And Tumblr. And WordPress! I just need a chunk of time for customizing (and, um, relearning a bit of CSS stuff because my coding skillz are a bit rusty).
