Please look at my sidebar and admire my lovely “works in progress” bars. It took a few explosions, reloading archived files, and much trial and error, but it works! I’m proud of myself.

For this reason I’ve done zero knitting in the last day and a half.

I worked at the shop today, but there’s still a chance I won’t get called in to substitute teach tomorrow. That would be lovely. I can sit and knit. And, prepare for the winter storm anticipated Wed. and Thurs. I haven’t had a day off in 10 days (and I’m already booked for Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun, and Mon).

I need sleep!

I’ve been up playing with the website. Fortunately my DH set up an alternate site for me to muck with as I’ve really mucked that one up. This one seems to still be happy though.

I’m trying to add a Works In Progress list to my sidebar. But not just a simple list; I want a little bar that graphically shows where I am in the project. Oh, and I want the input to be through the existing interface, not playing with the code each time. Yes, I ask for too much.

Given that it’s 1 am and that I can’t make it work, I may go to the fallback: code it by hand. But, that wouldn’t be so much fun.

So, on knitting: Saturday I taught a knitting class. It was supposed to be for teenagers. The first class was five third graders, one teenager and a parent. The second class was two adults. Go figure. Well, one of the adults picked up the sticks and really went to it! In the 1.5 hours we were working, she knit at least eight inches on her scarf. Eight perfect inches–no dropped stitches, no extra stitches, no mistakes at all. Mel also owns Tamarind Restaurant in Rockland and I plan to have a great meal with her soon!

I promise not to do any more knitting or programming until I’ve had some sleep.
