I got hacked. A bunch of times. I think it was my web-host’s fault, but it was a huge pain. I work as a web developer, so I knew how to fix the problems, but that last thing I want to do in my personal time is deal with corrupt MySQL databases.

So I wasn’t posting for a while to avoid making changes. If my blog got hacked again, at least I could just revert to the most recent backup and not worry about losing posts. But now I think the problem has stabilized (please, gods of the internet, focus on more hack-worthy sites), and I think it’s safe to dip my toe back into blogging.

But what to blog about? The only knitting I have to report is the successful completion of my mom’s Noro Iro sweater:

I made it for Christmas and she loved it!

Aaaaaand… that’s all folks! More news will come as it’s fit to print. Oh, and happy 2012!

Noro Iro. So beautiful. That is all.

It’s got pockets! And a hood!

(For some reason I thought staring into the mid-day sun was a good idea for that last picture.)

Unfortunately, it’s only about 15,000 stitches instead of the 50,000 required by NaKniSweMo, so this is more like an early Christmas present I’m gifting to myself. But aren’t those the best kind, anyway?

More pictures and the pattern to come!
