Heads Up!
Opinions, please!
I made a header for the top of my page, and I’m not sure if I’m happy with it. I’d love to know what you think. (For one, I don’t know what to do to make it stretch to fit, but that’s another issue!)
Also, though, I made a button that you (yes, you!) can borrow for your own page if you’d like to link to mine and well, have a button! (Please, of course, do copy and paste it, instead of linking to the image on my site.)
I also shipped out 3 RAOKs yesterday (4 if you count the envelope I mailed to a non-fibery friend). I can’t remember ever shipping out so many things in one day! Three RAOK boxes, one large box with a humidifier I had to return because it leaked, a box of Mom’s, and that padded envelope. Juggling it all into the post office was fun! (I think I should buy some nice shipping envelopes….!)
Meanwhile, V-Day is over, Mom had a good birthday, it’s stopped raining, and I got knitting done on both my pi shawl and my socks, as well as some spinning done. AND my blue/green yarn is hanging to dry even as we speak. It’s still a little twisty–I didn’t get it as balanced as I would have liked–but it looks good and I’m happy with it, and really, isn’t that what matters?
We got some bad news last night, though. My one-and-only uncle was just diagnosed with lung cancer. They haven’t established a treatment yet, and we don’t know how serious it is, but, well, it’s lung cancer which killed my grandfather (on the other side). If you wouldn’t mind, please say a prayer for my Dad’s only brother.

The header is lovely. As for the twistiness of your yarn, are you drying it under tension? That does wonders to force the twist, balanced or not. And if someone dares say you have unbalanced yarn, you can correct them by saying, “No, it’s energized”. That’s what one of the leading spinning teachers calls an unbalanced yarn, so feel free!
I loved the valentine from the ppoch, and welcome to the Fiddlesticks Knit along! (I know, a lot crammed into one comment!)
Can you center your header? That may help fill up the space.
Yeah, 1) you could make it bigger, and 2) maybe change the font? The white text gets a little blurred in the lighter colors of the background. A different font, or a font with an outline might work better.
But I like the blue/green colors!
Very nice start! I agree that the text is a bit difficult to read, but otherwise it’s looking lovely.
I like the background, but agree that a font change would help. Also, at least on my machine it took a long time to load — much longer than anything else on the page.
