I want to keep everyone up to date with how the fund raising to keep knitting-and.com online went last night.

First of all, I can't tell you all how grateful I am that you were concerned enough to help out with donations and also all the really nice notes that people sent privately. I appreciate it a great deal. Having put 11 years of work into the site, knowing that knitting-and.com is a resource that people value enough to help out in a crisis means a lot to me.

In 24 hours you have donated all but $22 that was needed to keep the website running. That's an enormous amount of effort and generosity on your part.

The web host has also given me time to get all the money together to pay for the virtual private server without removing the wiki and in future years I will be able to pay for it without any problems (having a year to come up with the money instead of 24 hours makes it a lot easier!)

Thank you.
