In WP's defense, it was a lot more straightforward to use before they remade the dashboard. So I'm getting the impression you like crochet? Whatcha gonna make when you finally get that WEBS delivery straightened out? Ooo! And a trick I just learned when doing long or complicated knitting: Life Lines. Just string some tightly spun yarn or thread (I use crochet thread because I have a ton of it) through the loops on the needle, tie the ends together then continue as usual. That way if you mess up (see: every 15 rows or so on that fist lace scarf I did) it's easy to just rip back to the held stitches and put them back on the needles. I've got like 3 running through the finished side piece of the cardigan I'm making....just in case. Grats on the new blog.
