Another issue converted!

The Summer 2009 issue is now on the new platform!

This one took a lot longer than anticipated, but it’s here!  I haven’t done the redirects yet but they’ll be in place in a few weeks.

What does this mean for knitters?

• Mobile-friendly design.  This means for the 50% of you coming from a smart phone or tablet, the site will look good for you.
• Images are easier to view and share.
• Charts too.
• And schematics.
• Thanks to several of you for helping me test this.  I hope this is done *fingers crossed*
• All of the ads are also converted and I removed ones that went to a non-existent site.  (I know you guys don’t love ads but something’s gotta pay the bills!)
• We’re one issue closer to a single search bringing back all of knotions patterns!

One fun thing for me is getting to see the designs all over again.  I forgot how cool Sunny Sunny Sunny (girls’ dress) was (knit *and* sewn!).  People have really had fun with the combos on the one.

And the Tesla wrap with its wearable lace – one of my faves – is a great excuse for a skein of silk and seacell.  Or bamboo.  Or rayon.  You get the idea.

This is exactly what I think of when I imagine warm weather knitting – easier pieces that travel well and wear comfortably in the nicer weather.

I really wish it was easier to convert from DNN to Wordpress but I’ve talked with several people who say it’s not.  If you have a good suggestion please let me know!

Only a few (3 issues plus 3 special releases) more to go.  Dare I say what my goal is?  I don’t want to jinx it…
