ca·top·tri·cal: “formation of images by mirrors”

The latest sock pattern I have designed. You can purchase it at The Knit Foundry pattern page and you can see it at Ravelry here. Huge thanks to my test knitters: Marta and Marie

I just ordered a bazillion rolls of highlighter tape for resale on The Knit Foundry. The price has gone up too; so once I receive those (a week or so) the price will be going up on my website as well. Until then (and until stock sells out) you can buy it at the current price, $3.20 a roll. New price will be $3.40 when the new stock arrives.

Buy them here: http://www.knitfoundry.com/prod_highlightertape.html

(note - I’m out of Standard Purple. If you want to order quite a few, please select Color - no proference and I will send you a good assortment. Colors will be substituted if necessary automatically).

This is what the icon for the new Save File Converter tool that comes with Knit Visualizer 2.0 looks like (Except for the black background - flickr decided it didn’t like the transparency of those areas for some reason).

I was really hoping to get everything done today for the Knit Visualizer 2.0 release; but it looks like it’s just not quite done yet. Monday night should give me a bit more time to get those final things done; but I checked off over half my list today of things left to do. Progress is good!

Just to show I’m still working on the new version. Font insanity between Tiger, Leopard and Windows is driving me nuts, so I had to create this little tool that lets you replace all instances of one stitch in your chart with another.

So this weekend I’m moving Knit Foundry from my previous webhost (aka “The Host that doesn’t let you do anything because it doesn’t think you are smart enough”) to a host that is a bit nicer and more permissive and reasonable about such things (aka “Do what you want, it’s your own foot if you shoot it”). All the files will look the same, with the exception of the forms you fill out. The previous forms wouldn’t work randomly and I’m hoping with better luck with the new ones. So, if you happen to visit The Knit Foundry this weekend, you might see a short period of time when pages might not load, it says it’s not found - we’re still there! I promise!! I’ve set it up so I can re-enter the magic numbers (aka DNS) , point to the new location, move the files and tada! new location. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Meanwhile I’m knitting steadily on my Alpine Lace Shawl (yes Marie, it’s Sea Silk. Woodland colorway). A bit of frustration this morning as it seemed like I couldn’t knit a row without some sort of error (usually a dropped YO). This afternoon was much better. Must be because it’s the weekend!

Oh, and another on my weekend to-do list, check the Ravelry antsy page. My friend Jill is already “in” and she’s given me a sneak peek. Wow - it’s pretty darned cool.
