Well here it is December! can't say I've been busy knitting. I have managed to knit a special scarf for my Godmother. I missed her birthday and when I think of all the thoughtful cards and gifts I received without fail every year on all the holidays, well let's just say she's an example. She is a very giving person. I learned that about her early on. She will always hold a special place in my heart. I hop she likes her birthday/Christmas gift. ~Sorry no picture. (Made from grey misty alpaca and lighter grey kid mohair)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving of a few extra days off work! My husband and girls, my extended family and relatives, my friends, life. I am thankful for so many blessings in my life. I wish all a happy and safe holiday!

OUT OF THE SHADOWS

Ok, so it's been awhile since I've paid any attention to my blog. I've been busy. I haven't even picked up a knitting needle since July. I am taking a class. It's volleyball season....well it will be over by the end of this month and work has been busy. Not that you don't deserve attention, but you're mainly a knitting blog and I have done nothing, hear me, n o t h i n g! I have surfed knitting websites and keep up with some knitting email. Ragged has created some wonderful items. I am so jealous.....she knits so well. Her work is so neat. I'd like to see her wear some of it. But I don't see her that often, maybe she does wear it.

I guess I am a one project person and right now my project is my class. That might change soon though. Not sure I'm cut out for school anymore. I know where to get info or learn how to do something if I need to. I can read anytime I want to expand my mind. I'm not stupid. I just don't have the little piece of paper that says that I've attained that bachelor degree! :) Maybe it will come in time.

Happy Independence Day!
Nothing better than a three day weekend and celebrating with family and friends.

APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS

It's been almost two months and nothing to say, blog, report, pass along. The only thing I've been working on in knit world is a chemo cap that has turned out to be a disaster. I am certain the color is the right color. It's the type of yarn that I am not happy with. It is cotton. I tried to use a cotton yarn to knit a nice soft chemo cap. Well, for one, it was not stretchy and then it was too small. So, I guess I'll find another yarn for the cap.

I have not finished the FLS either. I am about to finish the length on it and begin the arms but I have not even picked it up since...... well, a long time. Don't know what's wrong with me. I don't really want to knit right now. Must be the transition from winter to summer or something.

I've been busy working and I made the decision to go back to school. If I can't sign up for a summer course I will begin in the Fall. But I plan to get started very soon. Just need to sign up for that first class. I have to admit, I'm a little nervous that I won't be able to do it since I have been out of that world for quite some time and I'm worried I've bitten off way more than I can chew. But, the way the economy is going, I guess it will be best in the long run. I have a feeling unless I win the lottery, I'll be working for some time longer than I planned, thanks to the hit on our 401K plans.

Although Spring came in quite chilly and rainy, we now have some very pretty flowers blooming now that it is May.
