I want to thank everyone who has asked about my absence. I wish I could say that it was for some fantastic reason. Nope. I just had blogger’s block. I went away to visit family for that one week and got out of the groove of posting and just couldn’t get back into it.
Of course, I returned to the most unbelieveably long list on Bloglines. Yikes. It just makes you want to accidentally hit the delete button and start over. But I really wanted to read what everyone had been up to and I was hoping it would inspire me. I did comment on some blogs using them, like I told Kristy, like swatching for a project. It might have worked…thanks.
First, knitting has not been a high priority for me…unfortunately. I have been doing a little. Unlike before, though, I have been able to ride in a car, watch tv, and do many other activities without needles in my hands. I’m shocked, too! Don’t know why.
Maybe its procrastination because I know I have deadlines coming up. I need to finish the twins’ birthday presents and the Hogwarts Sock Swap socks….eek! I can report that I am all but finished with L2’s vest (just the ribbing around one armhole) and I am on the front of K’s top that is, thank goodness, sleeveless. I just need to go shopping for accessories. I have finished sock #1 for the sock swap and am FINALLY happy with both my yarn and pattern selection. ‘Bout time! I hope to have pictures of finished items to show soon. I’ve got to finish some socks for SAM4! Yikes!
In other crafts…
Its a double handled picnic basket. My sister-in-law joined me for this class, which was fun! I love my basket!!! I hope to make a liner for it soon. Its really big and will hold lots of yarn!!
!Hola! I am also taking la clase de espanol at the local college with mi amiga Nicky. Es diversion. (Babel Fish translated that for me so I have no idea if that is correct. Not gotten that far).
And, finally, we have started the remodel of our mudroom/laundry room to soon be a mudroom/laundry room/utility room/half bath. Believe me, its a big room. I will show pictures when we have progress. Right now it is just an empty room with a few tiles pulled from the floor.
Hey, welcome back! I know the feeling…after time away it takes forever to read through the blog postings (I also feel like I need to read them all!) and then sometimes I’m just not in the mood (nor have time) to blog.
Yay! Glad you’re back! That’s a great basket. Can’t wait to see the remodel pics.
Nice to have you back – missed you. On my side the knitting is going well – hope to post pics soon – trying to complete outstanding projects. Muy bein. Karrie
I always say: you can have it all in life, just not all at the same time. There were times when I put down my knitting for entire months for no reason I can remember, just that it seemed like it was time for some other things. Hence the name of my blog: I was too tired from playing golf on Sundays to go to my regular knitting group on Sunday night.
Hey, welcome back! I really like the basket you made– that must have been a fun class
Don’t worry about the not knitting– I’m sure it will be back at the forefront soon enough.
I thought maybe you had gone for a very long sailboat ride! And no knitting pictures in the post? How did that happen? Maybe I should come practice my (new)nursing skills and take your vital signs and make sure you aren’t sick.
