Hello? Is anyone still out there? If you are, I'm still here and knitting! I have been slammed with work and life in general this summer, so I apologize for the long silence of this blog.
When I last blogged, we had just moved into a new townhouse. Nearly six months later, it still tends to look like an episode of Hoarders. But! With my new goals for knitting, cleaning and blogging, I hope to change that. My cleaning goals involve setting a timer for 30 minutes and cleaning. Tonight I cleaned both bathrooms, took out two loads of trash, and put away the dishes that Wichita was kind enough to wash last night.
Knitting goals mostly involve the HP Knit/Crochet House Cup on Ravelry. Who would have ever thought that I could be motivated to finish things with imaginary internet points? (I'm not really surprised by this, actually.) If you've been watching my Ravelry page this summer, you've seen the projects I've made as part of the competition.
I did my first real colorwork and completed a pair of socks for myself, after knitting lots of socks for other people. My goals this term include several baby sweaters (because everyone I know is having babies, it seems), sweaters for my sweet niece and nephew, and a sweater for yours truly. Blogging will serve as documentation for my projects. I've missed having a place to post pictures and get feedback; sometimes Ravelry just isn't the same.
It's good to be back.
