Are you wondering how Ingenue is coming along?

Pretty well, I’d say! I’ve got about 10 more rows before starting the bottom portion of the “ridge stitch” (the pattern stitch at the waist). Then, two sleeves, and we’re done.

Yeah, I know, that made it sound like it was almost done right this second, when really, it’s probably just past the halfway mark, but still! Not bad for just under two weeks of knitting, huh? I mean, I only bought the yarn two weeks ago tomorrow.

I wonder how my niece is doing on hers? I haven’t wanted to call and pester, since she’s busy with school again, but she hasn’t called to ask me any questions, either, so I’m assuming things are going smoothly. I hope!

Have I mentioned how much I like the blue? (grin)

My college alumni magazine arrived yesterday, and I think they had me in mind when they designed the cover–a smiling face with open books for the eyes, with a caption, “The Booklover’s Guide to Bliss.”

Hey–those of you who know programming–can you help me with this? Over at Knitting Scholar, the block for ads on the front page is designed for a 250-pixel wide graphic. I’d like to offer advertising, but want to offer it in 125×125-pixel blocks. But, if I put two blocks there, they wrap into two in a column, rather than two side-by-side.

My guess is that the problem is in the padding and/or margins, but don’t know how to fix it.

The relevant portion of the CSS coding is:

The CSS says:

<blockquote>.ad_block { border: 1px solid #dadada; padding: 4px 0; margin: 1em 0 1.2em; text-align: center; }
.ad_block .ad125 { margin: 0 auto; width: 125px; }
.ad_block .ad250 { margin: 0 auto; width: 250px; }
.ad_block img, .ad_block p img { margin: 0; padding: 0; display: block; }</blockquote>

Then, the code where the ad is actually entered looks like this:

<div class=”ad_block”>
<div class=”ad125″>
<!– Insert your ad code here. Make sure the ad size is 250px in width and preferably a maximum of 250px in height. –>
</div>
</div>

Unless it has something to do with the “<div class>”? I can read HTML but can only sort of figure out CSS. (And, no clue what php means!) But, ads stacked on top of each other look silly!

Can anybody help me out?

Oh–and if you haven’t seen, not only did I publish part 2 of the Mason-Dixon interview yesterday, but my review of Classic Elite Knits is up, too!
