Bet You Were Surprised? So Am I.....

Kelly P. just alerted me to the fact that the post I put up yesterday with a Decorated Chain Stitch Video was not what I posted. Oh my goodness everyone. I am so sorry. I uploaded the video onto Blogger yesterday at the library and I guess whatever got onto my blog was not my Decorated Chain Stitch Video but something she called "a very explicit porn video." I can't check from here (dial-up) but I'm just believing her and I took the post down.

YIKES! How did this happen and how come noone else told me????? I'm so sorry if you got the shock of your lifetime. Here you are coming to a nice little stitching blog and what do you get???? Wow. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

Come to think of it, I got a couple odd e-mail notifications and subscribers. Mystery.... Sorry again.

I didn't see anything weird. I actually watched your video of the Decorated Chain Stitch. Not sure how the "other" video got there after I watched yours.

That's odd, I didn't get anything weird either. Just a nice tutorial on how to decorate some chain stitching around a heart...

The video I saw was a very informative video about decorated chain stitches.

I immediately had to check...

But no, I got the chain stitch video too.

:D

I downloaded the video with NetNewsWire (my blog reader) and I got the right video: a square with some hearts in it.

Michele said...

Me too! I watched the correct video and it was excellent! Thank you, Kristin.

I didn't try to watch, but I know someone who had something similar happen. When you use the "embed" function from the right-hand side of the youtube page, there is a box automatically checked that says "include related videos." Make sure you uncheck this box to prevent a completely unrelated video from appearing where your link should be.

I wonder if Kelly P's computer was the one with the problem. I watched the chain stitch video as well.

Rebecca said...

I, too, saw an informative video about embellishing with chain stitch. . .maybe Kelly's computer has the issue.

It definitely was the person notifying you computer that was hacked with a different video so it did not happen with you. Especially since so many people got the right one, I did too! Pamie

Hi Kristin- I too saw the "proper" video: embellishing a knitted heart. (Not sure what happened to the one person...)

susie said...

no worries! I watched your excellent tutorial also.

Natalie said...

I was at work on the work computer so I couldn't watch it,really wishing they would unblock videos t work, either one would have brightened up the work day though:("proper one= informative, "wrong one = hours of laughter at the office")

technikat said...

I too, watched the embellished chain stitch video.

Kristen said...

I watched it yesteday too, it was the chain stitch video

editknit said...

I didn't get the porn video--or the chain stitch one either. Just a black screen that wouldn't play.

Virginia G said...

I got the black screen too.

Zenitude said...

You were ok Kristen. I saw the right video aslo. I am not sure if things changed after I saw it or if this is a single occurance with your friend!

Leslie said...

Dayum! I KNEW I should have watched it the other day... (giggle)

SnohoTina said...

I also got the chain stitch video. Another one of your great tutorials.

girlsmama said...

In my google reader it was the right video. Embellishing the darling heart with chain stitch. No worries.

Susan Luni said...

Just so's you know, the feed is still there in Reader, even though you deleted the post. That's just the way the subscription services work. Doesn't matter, because the correct video shows when I click on the feed link.
I guess it's just one of the mysteries of the internet.

Hi There.
I love your blog and yes I did see the correct video. Lovely heart stitching, not to worry.
