Technical Difficulties
We've been having a few technical difficulties at the Kang house this morning...I think the technical term is slashdotted. I'm totally loving all this attention and the offers of free yarn, and I really hope that people come back to see the blanket tutorial and maybe even knit along with me. Our poor little server and sad DSL connection at the very edge of where service is available have different feelings on the matter, it seems.
I think for now, people are able to see my blog and leave comments, but if you're sending me e-mails, I haven't been getting them since last night. Joe's trying to figure out what's going on right now, but he's at work and therefore can't do some of the hands-on stuff he would be doing at home, not to mention that he actually has a pretty busy job he's supposed to be doing instead of piddling around with my silly hobby of a website. It may be later this evening before we can fix my e-mail account (and I have to admit it would help if I could remember the password for the thing - you know how once it's entered in Outlook you don't have to think about it again till there's some kind of problem? Oops.)
Anyway, feel free to go ahead and post in the comments and I'll e-mail you back. Just make sure that you give me your e-mail address in the comment. Hopefully some of the messages that are floating around there in cyberspace will find their way to my desktop once we reopen the flood gates.
Thanks again to everyone who's reading, to everyone who's commented, and to Stephanie for leading you all over here. I promise we'll have some more fun once the computers are working right again!

Any thoughts on making extra blankets for local charities? I haven't really got enough yarn remnents left for it to really seem worth sending, however Stephanie's suggestion that we bury your house was tempting. I'm thinking that a charity knit would be nice, and will definitely make sending the yarn a good use of time.

Yes, please send my your snail mail address; I'm a fanatical sock knitter and I have a TON of leftovers! I won't send the whole ton, but I'l be glad to jam-pack a Priority Mail box and send it to you. Email me at
dragonflyknits at gmail dot com
and we'll set it up. I'd like to have the pattern when you get it written up, too. Goodness knows I need something to do with all that sock yarn!
I'm glad Stephanie put your request on her blog, because I'm enjoying reading yours. Sorry all her readers are crashing your server though...she really should have warned you about the Power of the Knitters.
I left a comment yesterday asking for your addy - guess it would have helped if I'd left my email address. *grin* I don't have a lot of sock yarn, but you are welcome to what I have. Can't wait to see your finished project. epspins AT gmail DOT com
Hi Shelley- I'd send an e-mail but don't want to further complicate the issues :) Popped a package in the mail to you today. We are heading out quite early Saturday AM for a two week vacation so I'm very glad you were able to reply to my e-mail before the problems ensued. I look forward to reading about the piles of yarn descending on your house when I return- put you on my bloglines so I shant forget.
Hi Shelly, here is the email that I sent you earlier:
It is a very small world…I check Steph’s YarnHarlot site everyday and I thought, what a cool idea to start a sock yarn leftover blanket. I have small feet and my boyfriend has large-ish feet (more than one skein for a pair of socks) so I thought I could contribute some leftover yarn for good kharma and then start my own. I then looked at the post that Steph linked to and I saw that your daughter looked half asian (thinking to myself, nah…it can’t be) and then I saw the picture of Joe! I grew up w/Joe in the twin cities (went to the same church! I love his parents—very cool!). So, now that you have the song, ‘It’s a Small World After All’ going in your head (sorry about that), I want to send some trekking 100 to you. If you send me your address I will send it on over. Or, I can give it to my mom to give to Joe’s mom at church and she can get it to you (I will be in the twin cities area this weekend!). And tell Joe that Grace Lee (Fred’s sister—I think Joe will know who we are) says hi!
Oh, and I would love the pattern when you get a spare (hah!) moment.
Thanks!
Grace

wow! over 100?! that's amazing! ooohhh, isp/dsl issues. that's too bad...but i'll definitely keep checking your blog out for the blanket pattern. i hope the computer bugs get sorted out soon!
happy knitting! :o)
I don't know if my email got through, so my address is wlashbrook at yahoo dot com. I'm very interested in the pattern when you've got it written, up, too!
I'm glad I waited a day or two to post. How exciting for you.
You know what might be cool? A Modular Blankie KnitALong. Or not. Depends on how many names you get.
I got your email yesterday and a package was sent today. Have fun with the yarn.
