Dude! There *Are* Comments!
So, all this time, I've been wondering, "Gee, where's the love? There are no comments . . . Everyone else's blog, however humble, has comments. At the very least, the Doctor might have commented."
And I concluded that either:
a.) No one (other than me) was reading the blog, or
b.) I had the most shy group of visitors in the entire blogosphere.
I was thinking I would have to heavily promote the next annual "de-lurking" day.
Then, Kelly from the Mason-Dixon KAL mentioned (in comments at the KAL) that she had been unable to comment here.
So, I thought, "Oh, maybe it's me!" And I tried to fix it, and I thought I had succeeded, but still no comments appeared. So I was back to my earlier conclusion.
But, um, it is me.
This morning, I accidentally clicked on that "Moderate comments" link in Blogger.
And there they were, all of them, trapped in limbo.
Now, they are free.
FREE!
And I apologize to you all.

And so now, a few belated answers:
To Babette: I think I used the equivalent of US 5 needles for the Mason-Dixon handtowel. (In any event, I used what was recommended.) But I felt like I was knitting pretty tightly, and I used plastic needles (which enabled me to knit even more tightly). So US 4 might do you. I know that some people have complained about the holey-ness of the handtowels, but I don't mind it. It isn't as if you could accidentally poke your finger through them or anything. And I think that if you tried to eliminate the holes, you'd probably also end up eliminating the drape.
To Angela: I am enjoying the blogging very much. Thank you.
To Anonymous Gillian: If you're still out there, yes, indeed, I still have the neon vomit. It is BamBoo (100% bamboo) by Classic Elite. It is really, really nice. Except for, you know, the color. You are welcome to it. It is free. Totally and completely free. Gratis. I would pay you to take this stuff off my hands. (I really hope you are serious about this and aren't just toying with my emotions.) But I do understand the desire to keep your email private -- if it got out that you're willing to take yarn mistakes off people's hands, the spam would never end. Anyway, if you are serious, email me your direction at: anonyknits AT yahoo DOT com.

i'm very glad you mentioned this because i too have made the same mistake and i went quickly to my blog (kim-chi-crafts) and undid the limbo of "moderating comments." thanks for the info!
It took me so long to get the hang of blogger! Glad you figured it out. (and now you have another reader!)
So knit him a sweater, a 3 inch doll sweater, but a sweater it will be...He didn't specify that it fit him, did he? (I so would do this...and give him a nice mohair tobogin).
