Holy cow, ya’ll. It’s been a little bit, hasn’t it? I have no excuses except for my present one: my volunteer service is over mid-November and I’m trying hard to find a job. I’d like to stay in this area of PA, but it will depend on the job situation. Scary scary.
Now let’s touch on one of our favorite topics: knitting. Specifically the sheer lack of knitting posts this year. Guys, I have to tell you something. I’ve knit more this year than ever. Since I’ve been in PA, I’ve put all my other knitting to shame. The only reason I haven’t told you about it was because I had a vicious bout of sickness. It was called something that sounded like hazy, and maybe started with an L.
Moving on. Remember the first care shawl I knit? Well, I was knitting two at the time. Actually, #2 didn’t work out, so I knit three. Plus, the recipient sometimes reads this blog, so I couldn’t talk about it until it was knit and sent. Check and check.
I liked it so much I nearly kept it. Also, I really wish I could get an action shot of this one *ahem* so you could see how well it draped and the dramatic stripes of color. It’s a sassy little thing.
I’ve got a ton of things waiting in the wings, but I’m taking it one day at a time. I’m busy with Christmas knitting that I’d like to have done and sent before I move in November. Also, I’m turning into a basket-case trying to job hunt. Ugh. Nevertheless, I will try my damnedest to come around more often so we can chat.
Before I go, what is everyone else making for Christmas? I feel like I’m going to run out of knitting ideas by next year.
