Last night around 10:30 PM while I wasn’t looking, Persistent Illusion received its 10,000th visitor. In comparison to the more popular blogs with steady readership this might seem pathetic considering its taken over a year. But, although I’ve always said I’m not doing this in a vain attempt to have my voice heard, I have to admit to a small glow of pleasure.

What do I know about Visitor #10,000? They visited from somewhere in Pacific Daylight Time, where about 35% of my visitors come from, and don’t appear to have been referred by another site or a search engine. While here, they checked out the About Mom page and my version of the Sock Scarf.

So, welcome Visitor #10,000, and everyone else who comes. Come back again some time!

In knitting news, I’ve finished the tote bag. I haven’t crossed it off the list just yet, however. After an unfortunate encounter in an elevator, I realized that it really needs to have a lining so that my knitting needles don’t poke through the fabric and into, well… other things. Tonight on the way home I’m going to look for just the perfect fabric (because there can’t be something already in my fabric stash, right?) and get the thing lined. Then I’ll put some pics up. I love the way it came out.

At Thursday Tangle knitting last night I dropped the third stitch on Clapotis, and I’m just about ready to drop the fourth. So projects are coming along!
