New! And IMPROVED!

HOLY CRAP! You guys really know how to make a girl feel good! I’m glad you like the new stuff. I like it too – although I’m still tweaking. I think things are good for a bit. I wanted to add too that I found my inspiration for my header at Sydney’s. I took out a couple of the lines, but I still like the way they break things up a bit. I think it adds to the abstract nature of many of the photographs.

Thanks again! I’m really touched by all the comments!!!!

Instead of knitting, I played with the blog a bit. Refresh the page a couple of times. 😉 Let me know what you think! Thanks!

  31. Wow! How many banner options are there? Will I get a new one each time I enter? Awesome!

  32. I love the jaywalkers and flowers. The bee is kinda spooky though *shudder*

  33. Beautiful!

  34. Amazing pictures. They’re all so beautiful that I can’t decide which I like the best and keep hitting refresh.

  35. So pretty, Cara! I love all the different photos you used.

  36. Kewl! Cara~~your photographs~~your works of art~~are stunning!

  37. As a designer, I’m curious as to why you chose to use the thick vertical lines as a design element, instead of letting the gorgeous images and typography speak for themselves?

  38. I like the cool new look but not the pictures with bugs.

  39. Color me green with envy!

  40. PURDY!

  41. Neato!!!

  42. Hee! I love randomized banners!

  43. Beautimous! I love macro shots 🙂

  44. I LOVE it… (I love macro shots too… my DH gave me a ring flash for my birthday!)

  45. sooooo pretty, C!

  46. I love the picture, but I use firefox and the picture is running into the writing, so I can’t read the first few sentences. I definitely love the change. I’d also love to say I’m surprised at your skill on the computer, but I’m not-I expected you would have talent here too.

  47. Just gorgeous!

  48. Pretty pictures! I can’t stop refreshing. I like the ones with yarn or knitted items best, especially the one with the yarn that looks like it’s probably Manos. And the pink jaywalkers!

  49. Love it!

  50. Hey, are you working on this right now? I’ve been refreshing your site to see some of your gorgeous pictures and now it works without running into the writing. I love it!!!

  51. I love it!

  52. Very nice – love the yarn shots and the daisy!

  53. I really like it, but when I clicked over from Bloglines, the banner and the top-of-page links were fighting for space. Just so you know. (Also–I like the bugs.)

  54. Wow it’s great! Awesome colors – and talk about ultra macro!!! Sheesh!

  55. pretty! how do you do that? i’m jealous!

  56. It looks great but the giant bugs kind of creep me out. :)I love the photo of the rain on a leaf and the edge of a shawl hanging.

  57. Hi, you’re photos are awesome, I like the change 😉

  58. The first one I saw was all your STR Jaywalkers… showoff! 🙂 It looks great!

  59. So. Very. Cool. I love it! I think my favorites are the shawl on the chair and the many skanks of what is undoubtedly STR. Though I also love the macrobotanical of the pink flower and the green leaf.

  60. gorgeous…. man I wish I had thought of it cause I am having a hell of a time figuring out how to decorate my place!

  61. beautiful! i love your pictures.

  62. YES YES YES! RIGHT ON! ITS PERFECTLY YOU!

  63. Ooooh, so preeeettttyyyy…. I will be loading and reloading for days… 🙂

  64. Love them all (except maybe the one with the big beetle – bugs bug me – my phobia)! Awesome concept. I can’t even imagine how you do that. You’re so talented!

  65. Love! Love! Love! The Jaywalker one!!

  66. Oh. My. Goodness. Wowza!

  67. So very cool.

  68. Slammin’! I love the way the pictures change.

  69. I hit refresh over and over just to see all the pictures…it’s wicked awesome;-)

  70. What they said! Breathtaking … (going back to see them again….)

  71. THAT is wonderful. My favorite is the sheep photo and the lace shawl photo. Just gorgeous.
    I’m going to have to view source for hours now, to see how you did that…:)
    Great job!

  72. Very Very Cool!

  73. Beautiful! I could stay here all day refreshing… but I need to knit! (I wish my blog was this pretty… 🙁 )

  74. OMG this is like crack! I keep refreshing and refreshing and SOMEBODY STOP ME!!!! Gorgeous photos Cara :O)

  75. Ooooh, that’s so pretty. Love me some hydrangeas.

  76. Beautiful. 🙂

  77. *Sniff* It’s gorgeous, Cara. I just changed my screen saver at home to a slide show from My Pictures and I’m always getting sucked in watching the pics fly by, not wanting to end it (it’s thrilling when a pic from NYC or Rhinebeck pops up!) — now I’ll be refreshing your page 20 times a day, too!!

  78. I like the new look — bright, sophisticated, clean, nice choice of type for the heading . I much prefer the knitting photos for this use. I think some of the botanicals suffer from being chopped up, while the knitting ones are more abstract and work better. The picture of holiday lights is my favourite of the non-knitting photos, and is a nice reference back to your old banner.

  79. Beautiful!! Love the skyline pic.

  80. Freakin’ gorgeous!

  81. Gorgeous!

  82. Geeze, i think by the 82nd comment you KNOW it’s good.
    Lovely Cara!

  83. Everyone has already said it all! Stunning photos and a fun way to keep the blog fresh 🙂

  84. I love the new pictures… am I supposed to ge the white lines running through them though? I want to see the WHOLE picture. Am I just being greedy?

  85. I don’t know how you did it, but I love it. Especially the Jaywalker shot. 🙂

  86. It’s so beautiful Cara! May I ask how you did the random image thing? I’d love to put a random header on the new webpage I’m building.

  87. Absolutely outstanding!!! Love it.

  88. love it!

  89. Dude! That is so awesome! Can’t stop refreshing…

  90. That’s so clever! I love the different pix each time, but now I keep hitting refresh everywhere else…

  91. Heh, now you’re going to need a feature where we can click to order the picture currently being displayed. 🙂

  92. oooh girl totally off topic – did you hear billy book cases are on sale at ikea – 25% off…to make room for new items…i wonder WHAT the new ones are???

  93. Honey, I’m bowing to your talent!!! I will worship you as my blog god. It looks fab.

  94. That. Is. The. Coolest. Banner. I’ve ever seen. Duuuude.

  96. The new look is great! You are a truly talented photographer. You found a way to share that with us as well as your knitting…very cool!

  97. You are having way too much fun on your blog! Beautiful pictures.

  98. I’ve always loved your photographs, but it looks much better with some of the lines removed! Less distracting.

  99. Cara, I just love the festive lights…and the snowy firs, and the flowers…and the bugs, and the sheep…and…and…and…. WOW!

  100. Thanks for the droplets of beauty in my day, Cara.
