So long, Blogspot. Hello, Wordpress!

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 ...

{knitting} Stricken Socks by Cookie A

All the way back in November I wrote  this post  about a sock I was working on. I was zooming through it but then we went to Brasil for 3 weeks and I took no knitting with me... It took a while to get back to my rhythm after the hiatus but I've finally finished it!  Há um tempo atrás, em Novembro, publiquei esse  post  sobre uma meia que eu estava tricotando. Estava num passo super rápido com ela mas aí rolou uma interrupção de 3 semanas enquanto estávamos no Brasil... Demorou um tempo para que eu conseguisse voltar ao meu ritmo mas finalmente consegui terminá-la!

{knitting} WIP: A return to sock knitting

The other day I started thinking about the last socks I made. Not counting a quick, simple pair I made for Nina in January, the last pair of socks I made for me were about 18 months ago!!! I was shocked! I can't believe it's been so long. So I thought it was time to fix that and cast on a new pair. Outro dia comecei a pensar no último par de meias que tricotei. Sem contar um par simples que fiz para a Nina em janeiro, o último par que fiz pra mim foi há quase um ano e meio!!! Fiquei chocada! Não acredito que faz tanto tempo assim. Então decidi mudar isso e começar um novo par.
