Why I’m Not Posting Tonight
Actually, if you’re here, you probably already know why.
But in case you’ve been under a rock… this is the reason. (Um… and in case you didn’t realize it, that is a link. To the Yarn Harlot’s blog entry for today. Which explains all. And then some.)
Guess what I’m doing?
Printing patterns, that’s what.
If you ask me which pattern… I might have to slap you. Or maybe that’s me I should be slapping. Yes. Sorry. There, that’s better. I was maybe a little giddy.
As I was saying… if you ask me which pattern… it’s this one. The one that necessitated the knitting of this pile of leaves.
The ones that spun off into these. That is - these.
What else? Wasn’t there something else I wanted to say? Oh, yes. About yesterday’s post. If you use IE and were getting red-x image boxes… kindly disregard. There weren’t supposed to be any pictures there. Those were empty picture tags that I had left lying around. Firefox quietly suppresses them, so I didn’t realize IE was being so much less forgiving of my sloppy habits. They’re gone now, and I’ll try to be good in future.
Also, I’m still struggling with color-balance issues. Those pictures look sufficiently purple on The BoyTM’s perfectly-calibrated super-duper whizz-o monitor, but on every other machine I have access to they’re still more blue than they ought to be. So unless you’re willing to bring in The BoyTM to calibrate your monitor to match… please pretend there’s more purple in them than is perhaps visible to the naked eye at the moment. OK?
I do plan to do some color-correcting work on them at some point.
After I finish printing all these patterns.

I have a feeling you’ll be printing more since the Harlot mentioned on her blog that she is having so much fun knitting leaves.

I suspect that you REALLY NEED to be printing LOTS of those patterns….seen the Yarn Harlot today?
You’ve been spotlighted. And she’s been leafed! Addictively so.
Congratulations, lady, you’re a hit!

I found your blog thanks to the Yarn Harlot and will get up courage to try the vintage one day. But even better I found your 9 Tailors socks and as a long-time bell ringer I’d love to make pairs for all my bell-ringing friends. I’ve been wanting to try to include ringing methods (yes, Kent is a method not a change) in socks and quilts for years and now you’ve done it for me! They’re stunning.

Hee hee! I saw that this morning and cheered for you out loud. It scared the cats.
Congratulations!

LOL! Told ya!!!! and WOO HOO!

Still, it’s a good problem to have, no?
January 10th, 2008 at 8:32 am
I was going to say the same thing - with Stephanie mentioning the socks, you are bound to get a flood of orders!

Send The Boy on down. Don’t forget the cakewaffles. Mmmm…cakewaffles.

Wow-WEEEEEE! That’s great! May your fingers become numb from adding paper to your printer to meet the tremendous demand.

Yep, I’m one of those that found you because of the Harlot. My sympathies. But your patterns are wonderful and I’m glad that she spotlighted your work.
Happy Printing…..

I liked the part where she said, “Lisa may be out of her mind, but she’s concise.”

I must have a nicely calibrated monitor here at my office. I see purpleness in the pictures.
Congrats on the Harlot Nod. Perhaps she’s in cahoots with Kinkos… bring a copy to the copy shop and have them print ‘em… or is it cheaper at home?

I came here because of the Harlot, but seeing as how I do not know how to knit socks, bought the socks 101 kit
January 10th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
Who are you again? What’s a sock? Why do you knit?
I’m just kidding. I’m just trying to be different so you’ll know I am sincere in my unadulterated adoration. I bought Noro sock yarn today and thought of you.

Like several others, found you because of Yarn Harlot. Think the pattern is gorgeous. I even love the look of the heel. Can’t decide if I have the gumption to try making them so I will just drool for a bit. Glad to find your site.

Knew you before “The Harlot entry”.
Hey everybody-they have a sock club and lots of other really cool patterns too. Check them out-and the sock club is great-the most interesting and fun socks you will ever knit.

Congratulations, Lisa! (I’m behind in my blog reading…yours and hers.) How wonderful; just the kind of recognition that can make a designer feel all … all … well, I don’t know *how* it would feel. How *does* it feel, besides busy?

[…] That link generated over one thousand hits that day. Bigger even than the day that the Yarn Harlot linked the Tsock Tsarina and she linked me! (Granted, I think that if the YH had for some inexplicable reason linked me directly, I suspect it might have outnumbered Bob’s pants, since the two degrees of separation link was a fairly minor detail in Lisa’s post.)
