Readability

I know I should be knitting about blogging, but I'm not feeling well on the one hand, and am working on things like socks, so it's fairly boring. I just finished a languishing pair of Journey Cables for myself and a pair of ankle socks out of the leftover yarn. See? Told you, exciting.

Over at Knitnut.net I ran into the readability test for your blog. My statistics were as follows:

Apparently this is about where it should be. I won't repeat it because Zoom already said it all at Knitnut.net, but apparently we should be aiming at a 6-8 grade reading level. Do you think this is too high or too low? What do you think? And what are your stats?
