I've been wanting to move my blog away from Blogspot for a while but could never be bothered to actually do it. This week was the tipping point though, and I've now fully migrated over to https://patsypoomakes.wordpress.com/ . The blogspot address will remain here but all new posts will only appear at https://patsypoomakes.wordpress.com/ . There are lots of reasons for the move but my biggest one is how hard Blogger has made it for people to subscribe to receive new posts via email. It's such a basic requirement but apparently, they think it's too much to offer. I'm basing this purely on how I myself prefer to consume this stuff. I can't be arsed with feed readers anymore and emails are easy and convenient. When I receive one, if I fancy reading it, I will click through to it and, if not, I'll just delete it. Another reason is the spat between Google (owners of Blogger) and Instagram/Facebook/Meta. I don't even know if this is still the case anymore ...
As I've mentioned before, I had the anchor band finished about 2 weeks ago. But when I tried it round my waist it was so stretched that it looked terrible. So I unpicked all 19 rows and re-knitted it on a bigger needle. Oh, the difference!
I am enjoying this a lot, despite having had to unpick it once already. It's the first time I've used this yarn - more about it on the FO post though. The fabric I'm getting is lush and there is a slight sheen to it, too.
The stitching will look a lot more even once I block it but I believe the three colours work extremely well together.
