Knittistas, you’ll want to check out the Starving Crafter blog. The site gathers info on the latest contests for artists, crafters, designers, and makers. You got the knitting chops to compete?

Yeah, I thought you did. :)

I hope the ads and affiliate links won’t be obtrusive and that you will bear with me. It’ll be a learning experience, as I haven’t done this part of blogging before.

My emphasis will continue to be on the blog contents — just with a few ads on the page too.

Upgraded to WP 2.6! http://www.loopyknits.com/2008/07/15/woo-hoo-upgraded-to-wp-26/ http://www.loopyknits.com/2008/07/15/woo-hoo-upgraded-to-wp-26/#comments Wed, 16 Jul 2008 05:48:41 +0000 Loopy http://www.loopyknits.com/?p=147 I’m going to be re-vamping LoopyKnits.com over the next few weeks. My first step was to upgrade WordPress to the latest version. Next, I’m going to finalize my selection of templates (there’s another one I’m playing with; this one is really sleek, but it’s doesn’t just scream “Knitting!” — you know?). [Update: done. - cb]

Then I’ll tweak the template. And, finally, I’ll start publishing contents here regularly again. Please check back!
