All,

What's a father to do when his daughter works sooooo hard to create a brand new knitting blog...and nobody has come to visit it yet? Of course it's wonderful and you all should go check it out.

She is a recent college grad with a math major who would "like to publish a math paper on the "knittability" of topological surfaces. " Don't ask me what it means but I'm sure you will all appreciate it. Sweaters, socks, handwarming creatures...

Check it out and if you want to be really nice....leave her a comment. Regards, Proud Dad

Looks good to me. I didn't have time to explore fully or to leave a comment, but have added it to my list of blogs to visit.

Higs, Katherine

And I, for one, resent it. It is a waste of my time to see the same ad (yes, it is an ad for her blog, IMO) on virtually every ng I read. Thus, I would not dream of reading said blog.

I resent it too and in the end it generates a whole pile of posts from people we do not know, it's rather like being forced to listen to a conversation that is not the one you want, on your own 'phone line.

I'll leave them too - this father is making a monkey out of his daughter, ignoramus.

Either that or she can only keep the blog for free if there is enough participation. If he is such a proud father why not spring for the $10 per month that would buy her a decent place to have her web site.

I don't see a single ad on the page. Now, I do use AdBlockPlus with my Firefox, so, I can't swear that there aren't any without looking at page source, which I'm not going to do.

It is a nice knitting blog, IMNSHO. Rather refreshingly plain layout, no fancy HTML stuff, nice clear pictures of works in progress or finished. She does some recycling (actually reusing) of old yarn gotten by frog-stitching old sweaters, which I think is good. She has some very intricate lace knitting she's working on....all in all, I enjoyed the page.

Glad to pass it on. I appreciate a nicely done page, one that doesn't give me a headache, but does show me something that a real person is doing, with some indication of the personality behind the page. I like knitting, and have been doing it in one form or another since I taught myself in high school. I have gotten a little carried away, and have a few knitting machines, including 2 1/2 sock machines, and a lot of yarn that I need to rehome. Or trash. Some isn't really in good enough condition to use. Pages like this one give me a little push to get on with it. Not that I actually have, you understand...I'm just feeling the push. ;-)
