Ravelry to the Rescue!

Last night we ran into some computer troubles! Long story short, an update we were trying to run...didn't...and we could no longer access our computer or any of our files...like my patterns! We thought everything was lost. Fortunately, my husband is quite good at playing tech-support and stayed up until 2am trying to restore everything. He got it fixed to a point where I can use the computer, but will have to spend more time tonight to get it back to normal. In the meantime, I still cannot access the folder with my pattern files, but have been able to get "expiring download links" for my patterns on Ravelry to send to Etsy customers. How convenient! Ravelry, what would I do without you!?
Design-wise, here is a new friend. This is "Pudgy Snowman." I'm thinking of making some other "pudgy" friends for him.

  1. Lisa, Send all your patterns to yourself in your email, Open up a folder and save them in there, You can then access them from any computer around the world, I also have them save on 2 4 different hard drives along with my photos,

  2. Thanks, Janis. :) Yes, Gil is buying another hard drive today so we'll have a backup. Emailing 100+ patterns to myself might take a while...
