Well, I've been upgraded to Moveable Type 3.2 in an effort to defeat the spammers. This particular war may never be won.
However, so far I quite like it. I've had a bit of a peek around, and the control menu looks pretty spiffy. I use Firefox for my browser, and some of the buttons from Moveable Type 2.661 didn't work, forcing me to learn some basic HTML, but in 3.2, I can see them all in Firefox. Hoo-freakin-ray!
Now, seeing as this is purported to be a knitting blog, I guess we're overdue for some knitting updates, huh?
The shawl, she is growing. Albeit, slowly.

There's around 560 stitches now, so the rows are taking far too long for the shawl to grow to my satisfaction. I've said it before, shawls make boring blogging. Here's what the pattern bit looks like now, close up.

I have also been working on DH's Trekking XXL socks.

They're not going very quickly either, are they?
I'm sure that it really is quicker to knit two socks at once on two circs, but it doesn't much feel like it. I'm using Inox US0's (2mm), and they feel smaller than my DPNS. Which they're not. However, at the end, I'm sure I will be glad to have both socks done, and that it is quicker than doing them one at a time on DPNS.
But at this stage, I think I prefer my DPNS. Old habits die hard.
DH is apparently on holidays from work, but yesterday he had to go in and take care of something that the office monkeys can't be trusted with, so Em and I tagged along, and window shopped in the city ehilst he took care of business. I knit on the socks most of the way there and back on the train, but still didn't seem to get much done.
When DH was done, we went to The Crepe Cafe for lunch.
Em had a Carnivale crepe. (Strawberries, Bananas, icing sugar, chocolate, icecream and cream)

DH and I had Original Crepes. (Strawberries, liquer, icing sugar, cream and icecream).

Yum. January 3, and I had already blown my New Year's Diet. It was fun, though ;)
And today, Em and I baked a banana cake.

See, I can cook when I want to! And it was from scratch, not a packet mix. Although DH did the frosting, I was bored with cooking by then.
Twinkie thought it would be a good idea to hide if I were cooking.

And who could blame her? ;)
That, by the way is the Gum tree that was cut down a year ago. The real estate has done nothing about getting rid of the stump, and the tree is doing it's best to come back. It's becoming Twinkie's favourite hiding spot.
I got mail today, check back tomorrow to see what!
Hmm, I'm liking Moveable Type 3.2.
