It's the bit that makes you type in some word that it shows you. That won't defeat people who are manually pasting in their comment spam, but if the trouble is that your blog has been found by the Electronic Gaming Spam-o-Rama, that might help stem the tide. Here's Google's page on <a href="http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?answer=42520&cbid=-13zr7pedmq2wb&src=cb&lev=answer" rel="nofollow">how to turn it on for Blogger</a>. As for when you go away -- there's no rule that says if you turn on full moderation for a little while, you have to leave it that way! :) No reason you should have to spend your holiday wondering what mischief the spammers are getting up to. <br /><br />I envy the speed with which you've made your ASJ! My second project ever, knitting, was an enormous jacket-coat out of bulky yarn and although that was a few years ago I think I'm still feeling the trauma; it would probably take me two years to do another sweater, even if I went with a normal size and a normal yarn. I also envy how far you are along to being done with the Christmas knitting. I've barely started and I've only got two things I'm doing. I've been cheating on the knitting lately, spending all my time spinning, so I'm wondering who out there might appreciate a skein of yarn instead of something already finished. :)sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15141842738977552483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-34881840697327887082009-12-06T13:25:09.385+00:002009-12-06T13:25:09.385+00:00I've made an addition to the blog post with li...I've made an addition to the blog post with links to the Ravelry pages.

I have ...Ah, the ever-lengthening sweater problem. I have solved that one a few times with judicious use of a tumble dryer at very low heat. It has (so far) solved the problem of 4 or 5 garments. Just soak the garment, squeeze out the excess moisture and give it 10 minutes at very low heat. If that hasn't done it, try 5 minutes more... This has worked with wool blends and pure wool. It might work with Alpaca. I don't know about superwash, but it would probably bring it back to shape until it had been worn a few times...It's worth a try if you're just going to get rid of the garment!GrannyPurplenoreply@blogger.com
