Knitting and Images

It seems I am a bit behind in our 23 Things NB.  I did, however find an image I liked on Creative Commons and I also made 2 awesome Wordle clouds with knitting terms.  The issue, however, was attempting to post them to my blog.  I worked on Wordle for a whole lunch hour a few weeks ago and ended up not being able to post it.  They were awesome and unfortunately I lost both in my shuffle to attempt to get them into my blog post.  Ugh! 

It was worse than me trying to figure out how to follow a pattern.  I am in the middle of knitting an afghan right now that is almost as frustrating.  I have redone at least 10 rows (each row has 234 stitches - UGH), and now it seems it will be a little short, but it is pretty!  I am making it for someone who is getting married in the fall and the green is really beautiful, but I might have to make another one as I wanted it larger than I think it will turn out to be, and I will run out of the yarn. 

This way of thinking is just like how I am feeling I may need to handle the situation with 23 Things NB.  I was seriously thinking about using the Snip tool to put my Wordle and Creative Commons image in my blog.  I am going to attempt later on this evening to post the image and make another Wordle with the help of a colleague who has a bunch of people following him and even has comments - Oh Bloggyman, my hero!  I only JUST got my first follower and it is the admin of 23 Things NB and sadly no comments on any of my pursuits and exploits into the world of blogs and knitting are to be found.  I really haven't commented on anyone elses so who am I to judge!  If I can only remember all of the cool knitting words I had thought of to make my Worldle again I may just prove popular soon (hee) - I found out too late when I rewatched the how to video for Wordle that I really should just have kept it in a Word document - the value of reading instructions and patterns...... 


Here is my go at an image:
