access |ˈakˌses|  n.  the action or process of obtaining or retrieving information stored in a computer's memory.




I've been doing some upgrades, fixes and changes to this blog -- mostly "behind the scenes" kind of stuff.   I found out my blog has been getting a lot of "hits" from Ravelry.  And with those hits come comments.  A consistent comment has been a request to have the patterns in a printable document format.

After consideration of a number of ways to achieve this, I've settled on using Google Documents.  The slow process of converting the patterns to Google Docs has begun.  As they are done, I'm inserting a connecting link and taking out the text of the pattern.  This will save a lot of space, while making it easier for anyone to print out the patterns.

I hope to have the rest of the patterns converted over the next few weeks.

Summer is over and with the return of fall, I return to my knitting.  I always think I'll knit just as much through the summer, but that never actually happens.  Gardening and baseball and barbeques all distract me. 

One thing I did do, however, was to revise my pattern for the Toddler Neck-Down Pullover .  It came to my attention that my numbers didn't add up right.  I re-calculated and revised the numbers; then I added instructions for two more sizes.  The pattern now ranges from 12 months to 5T.  I have knitted each of the new sizes (4T and 5T) to test them and they fit accurately.

So to end my summer sabbatical from blogging, I offer the new and improved pattern!
