We have Pictures People!

As you can see from my last post, we now have pictures on this here blog. How, you ask? well, the first part is courtesy of my brother in law (we'll call him PB) who works for a particular, highly successful wireless phone company and who GAVE ME A FANTASTIC FUCKING PHONE WITH A DIGITAL CAMERA BUILT IN. It's fantastic, isn't it. The second part is courtesy of my loving husband who figured out how to work the camera phone, take a decent picture, download free software from the internet to edit the picture so it looked half decent, and then posted it on the blog. It's all so amazing. So, thank you PB, and thank you loving husband. Before I go, Thuja info:

Pattern: Thuja, from Knitty, winter '05 issue
Yarn: 2/3 ball of Opal Magic, self striping
Needles: size two (U.S.) (isn't that 2.25mm?)

I've made this pattern three times already, once for me, one for Stephen, and one for my dad. It's a great pattern because it's simple and easy to modify. That's important when you have the world's smallest feet, and so does everyone else on my side of the family. By the way, what the fuck is up with patterns which are sized for "the average woman's foot." What the fuck does that mean. I know that it doesn't mean that it will fit my foot, but would it kill the designer to take out a measuring tape and give some actual dimensions? I would appreciate that, thank you very much.

Also, I managed, all on my own, to add a map and hit counter to the blog the other day. It's way at the bottom and the best part is that you don't have to click on it to add your location. It does it automatically. Now I know that at least three people have at least opened this page. Thank you whoever you are!
