What I'm Knitting...

Ok...it's been awhile since you've seen the Lacy Prairie Shawl...this is where I stopped after the news tonight - mid-way thru the 26th of 33 repeats of the lace pattern. I still have a bit more than 2 skeins of the Peace Fleece so I don't think I'll run out of yarn. Of course, it's not blocked yet so it looks like most unblocked lace: a jumbled mess.

But right at the bottom of that photo? That's the first sock of pair #6. That's the STR in Rooster Rock that Pam gifted me with at RVKnit/Spin night a bit ago. I promised her I'd have it OTN by the next meeting (which is in April!) and I may even have the first sock done by then! I'm just doing Wendy's generic toe up pattern with a stockinette cuff that will end in her picot edge. This yarn is too gorgeous to complete with a pattern. (oh, and those are Colonial Rosewood dpns, size 0 from The Loopy Ewe. I really love them!)

And no. I don't get a lot of time to knit. I work on small things like socks and dishcloths at lunch (during the workweek) and then, if I really get a chance to sit down to watch the news, I usually work on a larger project then. And life has been so topsy-turvy, I haven't been able to do much of that. That's why my stuff stays OTN so long.

This is a knit blog. Recently, I've been concerned that maybe folks didn't have much reason to believe that! And I'm still so far behind in my orders for Nana Sadie Rose that I feel guilty when I spend any of my at-home time knitting. I'm getting caught up. I had to make the new townhouse moderately presentable (no there are still TONS of boxes and much organzing to do...and the decorating will wait). It's not that I care what people think, but I care whether or not I can find things without making myself crazy. And tonight I managed to lock myself out the backdoor, after not only locking the front door, but the inside chain guard! I was taking out the trash if you must know...but I'm still not used to everything here...

Thank goodness the landlord lives next door! (Yes, they got a very good laugh...)

Anyway, I do still knit. It's what saves my sanity.

(In an aside, The Meezer thanks you for your concern about her. She's fine and will be joining the blog again soon. Right now, she's recovering from a cold. But she does come out from under the comforter when I come home at night.)

And many Thank Yous for your kind comments about my recent romantic breakup. Tho' my heart is truly broken, I know I'll survive. A lot of the credit for that goes to you all!
