has WordPress changed something about the comments? It use to be that you would get an email that someone commented and then you could reply back to them directly. Now I see that when I tried to reply to them it just sends it to WordPress.com. Is it a setting I don’t know about? I looked but didn’t see anything. Anyone?

My apologies.
I have been knitting…a lot! Want proof? Well, first, let me tell you the method behind the madness. I was getting a little fed up with my WIP that were in time out. I should be better than that. So I made a deal with myself that I could still start new things as long as I pull something from the “time out basket” and worked on it, too.
So here is what I have finished from that basket:
Minimalist Cardigan by Ruthie Nussbaum (IK F07)
Cascade Sierra #60
According to my Rav entry, I started this on Aug 14, 07. I finished it Mar 17, 09. Sad, cause I think of all the time I lost that I could have been wearing it. It is definitely one of my favorite things that I have knitted for me.
Swallowtail Shawl by Evelyn A Clark (IK F06)
Schaefer Yarn Anne (not sure about the color)

This is my first real foray into lace. I’ve done a doily and all but not a shawl. I don’t intend to wear it over my shoulders in a traditional way but like the picture with it more like a scarf. It is very warm. I LOVE it!!
There are somethings that have been purged from the basket, too, either because I didn’t feel a connection to them or I thought of a better use of the yarn. One of these is the Jeanie shawl. I feel sad about it but I just don’t think that I would wear it and it is a lot of work to not actually use. I’m on the look out for the perfect top for this yarn. I’m thinking Pioneer, though I know that the yarn it calls for is sport and this is fingering. Ugh! Any suggestions? I like seamless things these days.
OK, you’ve gotten a taste of what I have been doing. I have more to share of what I have finished and what I have on the needle (some of which you can see on my Rav page). And I want to share what has been distracting me, too. All in good time (and not too much time, I hope).
