Ad Progress for LoopyKnits.com

Posted on 16 July 2008 | No responses

I’ll be putting a few ads on LoopyKnits.com as soon as I can get approval for some programs, particularly Google AdSense and Chitika, as well as an affiliate link for Amazon.com. 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.

Woo-Hoo! Upgraded to WP 2.6!

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!

New Knitting Book for July

Nicky Epstein's Signature ScarvesWell, bless Nicky Epstein, because without this knitting author’s work, we wouldn’t have anything new to read this month.

Although I am reluctant to pick up any hot fibers in July for knitting, scarves are a perfect take-along size if you like to knit while on vacation. So, Nicky … well done!

Look for her latest book to hit the shelves today:

New Knitting Books for May

Posted on 1 May 2008 | No responses

Knit One, Embellish TooIn the wake of last month’s avalanche of new knitting books, it’s not that big of a surprise that this is a light month for publications about our craft. But never fear; publishers have not abandoned us. Here are two titles we can look for in May:
