Commentpalooza

Thanks to everyone who commented on Flicca — my apologies for not responding directly. Gmail, in its infinite wisdom, has disabled the email address associated with the blog and I'm in the middle of sorting it out with them. I can read comments through the Typepad site, but they aren't being emailed to me. My regular gmail address is fine though, so at least I'm not completely cut off. I filed a "help me, please" request and got a rather snippy response from them earlier today that addresses are usually disabled only when the terms of service have been violated. I explained that I only use the address to talk to people about knitting and really hadn't done anything untoward with it. Now I'm just waiting to hear back.

The moral of the story: Don't talk smack about Joe Bruno. The man will cut you. And apparently even Google owes him favors.

I like the mix of different scales and colors of grid patterning in this window, somewhere off 3rd Ave. in Brooklyn.

No, you make MY day

Hey, look what cosmicpluto gave me!

I'm passing it along to ten non-knitting blogs that consistently make my day with funny, incisive, fascinating and/or gorgeous posts:

The Best of the Bozeman Chronicle Police Reports
Eating in Translation
Things I've Bought That I Love
The Thoughtful Dresser
Smitten Kitchen
Project Rungay
Nothing But Bonfires
French Laundry at Home
Confessions of a Pioneer Woman
A Dress a Day

Thanks again, Laura!

Rock on!

Cathi nominated me as a Rockin' Girl Grrl Blogger and, dare I say, I'm tickled PINK.

Thanks Cathi! You made my day...

I'm not tagging anyone else, because honestly, I think you all rock.

new email address

Please note the new email address for the blog: klosekraft AT gmail DOT com.

I couldn't take hotmail anymore. The unattractive layout, the user-hostility of it — not being able to delete messages from the 'you just sent a response' screen is just ridiculous. The final straw was the way it started asking me if I really wanted to click on links in my email messages because you never know, it might not take me to a valid site and I would have to press a little button to say that I agreed to all of the dangers every single time I wanted to clink on a hyperlink.

And I wanted to write an angry letter to the hotmail powers that be to the effect that I'm perfectly capable of deciding whether I want to clink on a link and this kind of simpering paternalism is something up with which I shall not put. But I figured I'd just switch everything over to gmail instead.

Actual knitting content soon...
