The Contest WINNER!!

Since my co-host Beth is out in BloggerSiberia* and completely unable to participate (grr Blogger grr! get it together, will ya?), she asked me to post the following:
"I am stuck on the wrong side of Blogger for the time being, but I haven't forgotten about our contest! The winner of the drawing is ...

Dotty.

Congratulations, Dotty!

Please drop me a line (beth95 at gmail dot com) with your address and your favorite color(s), and I'll check the stash for something suitable."



*Siberia is a rough place. If you leave a comment about how beautiful her new Swallowtail Shawl is, she might feel a little better. [hint, hint]

Upgraded to New Blogger

As soon as I got the invitation to migrate to the New Blogger (today), I switched the Arwen KAL over to its new home. As I understand it, there have been problems with invitations and posting and and and. We apologize for all the myriad problems that you've encountered and seriously hope that this administrative change will minimize the disturbance so we can focus on knitting. Blogging for free is a wonderful option, but these growing pains have been tough.

Everyone happy? If not, please email us at acardiganforarwen AT gmail DOT com with any difficulties you face, and we'll try to find a solution. Or leave a comment to this post.

[fingers tightly crossed]

Smooch!

Old Blogger, new Blogger

We have a slew of would-be new members who haven't been able to join our knitalong properly due to "old Blogger / new Blogger" issues. This is very frustrating all around, and unfortunately, not a thing can be done about it until this blog makes the transition to the "new Blogger"--which will mean that all the current participants will have to make the transition, too, in order to continue to post. So this is a problem that affects every single one of us.

I've tried multiple times to move my personal account to the "new Blogger", but each time I try it, I get a "Sorry, some of your blogs cannot be moved at this time" error message. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, I think it would indicate that this blog is the sticking point, in which case we'll have to have a chat with the Blogger Help guys. (Man, I hope it doesn't come to that.)

To everyone whose invitation isn't working: I'm really, really sorry, and I hope you can hang on just a bit longer while the Mafia and I try to figure out how to get the blog on the new system.

To everyone who's still hanging out on the "old Blogger": it's time to start looking into switching over to the "new Blogger". I don't think it's something we have a choice about: I think I remember reading that at some point Blogger is going to suspend all "old" accounts unless they switch over to the new system, so the clock is ticking.

And in further bad news, I think my Arwen is too big, and will have to be frogged. Even though I swatched! Grrrr.
