We are launched!

It is indeed an exciting day when a middle-aged, self-proclaimed techno ignoramus launches a blog at the same time that fuzzy baby goats are romping on a field somewhere in Texas.
The author of "Fuzzy Babies" is one of the last people in the world who still calls me "Steph." I love this.
However, to you U-knitters, I'm known as Stevie. (Nancy cannot get used to this and will continue to call me Steph. We've been friends since the 1970's and Nancy finds the sobriquet "Stevie" way too caffeinated.)
I want to thank Nancy for giving me the courage to try this. She's a seasoned blogger, and if you want to bust a gut laughing and crying, visit her blog. (I'll figure out how to send you there later.)
She told me this morning that she hopes I'll use "Fuzzy Babies" as a learning opportunity. She expects it to be deleted by the time she comes home from work today.
I say, no way am I deleting that post. Having a seasoned blogger contribute at the git-go guarantees us success and good karma - to my mind, it's the cyberspace equivalent of cracking a bottle of Dom Perignon across the hull of a disembarking cruise ship.
I've got a great deal to learn about how this all works, but in the meantime it's thrilling to know that we now have an online gathering place where we can chat, share patterns, trouble-shoot, offer advice, and generally yammer on about the joys of spending an inordinate amount of time fooling around with yarn and sticks.
Here's another quote from Nancy: "Knit and you knit together; purl and you purl alone."
Welcome to the U-Knitarian blog.
