Quick Catch Up
Mood: Relaxed and quite content!
Listening to: The show MEDIUM
It has been MONTHS since I last posted and to all the visitors I apologize for being so remiss! It has been a very busy time and I did try to post a few times but managed to delete my entries before I could post! And time goes by so quickly that before I knew it months had gone by. I thought about the blog less and less until the past week. I had finally caught up a bit and was going online often enough that I wasn't trying to read hundreds of e-mails but actually surfing the web again. And I happened upon some awesome blog sites and reminded myself I had one that needed attending to! So here I am to catch up and hopefully keep up my blog! Here's to blogsters everywhere!!
I knit and crocheted so much over the winter that I amazed even myself about the amount of items I managed to make! I was in a couple of Craft Faires and did very well, a nice change! And the past month I FINALLY got to slow down and just enjoy knitting for myself and my family again!
TheWinter knit list grew to 50+ scarves, several afghans, a half dozen sweaters for kids and adults, at least a dozen beanies, purses, gauntlets, ponchos, socks, and the list goes on. In fact I think for once I reached knitters burn-out! But for a change I also got orders that helped to pay for my fiber addiction and a genuine sense of well-being knowing people enjoyed handknit items!
Now I know I have spoiled my family! They now think my hand knit socks are the most comfortable socks they have ever worn! Since I have never been able to keep even one pair of the socks for myself that I have knitted, I have no first hand knowledge of their comfort!! But I hope to remedy this in the next few months! One can only try!
We also have a new DGD and she has been a pleasure to knit for! I will try to post some pics the next posting and show a few of the things I have knitted for her! One of the cutest things was a Christmas hat that looked like a Christmas Tree!! VERY CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!
I have just finished a hot pink childs Poncho in TICKLE yarn but haven't sewn it together yet. And OTN is a pair of Spruce green Kroy sock yarn socks. I finished one pair and am working on the second pair. I also am enjoying a local knitting group and the crativity and friendship is a welcome change!
So as they say on KNITTY GRITTY ....KNIT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!! Till next time enjoy the first glimpses of Spring! And a prayer to those that are still in the throes of Mother Nature's weather!
