Long time gone....

Well, I thought I would be able to update more often when I had my BlackBerry, and then even more so when I got a little NetBook, but to no avail. I have been a complete slacker when it comes to blogging and almost as much with my knitting.

In regards to my knitting, I am still plugging away at my step-mom's Clapotis. It has made considerable progress in the past few months and I feel that shortly I will be able to move on to the next section, so that I can finally get out of the straight rows section. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

The other project that I have currently been dedicating some serious time to is something that I hope I will use quite a bit next winter. I finally broke down and started the "February Lady Sweater". There was much agonizing over the yarn and color and all that other good crap, but I finally settled on an olive green ComfortDK yarn. I really love the "all purpose" color and the yarn is just so squishy that I think it is going to feel fantastic when it is done. So far, I have gotten the yoke completely done and am just waiting on ordering some more stitch markers from KnitPicks so that I can begin the lace work.

I know I could easily do the Gull Lace work without markers, but I just think it will go much faster and easier with the markers in there to keep the headaches and miscounted stitches at bay.

Anyway, I think that is the current projects in the works. Have a few in the back of my mind for some Noro Silk Garden Sock and Rowan Damask that I have recently purchased in the past few months...but that is just gonna have to wait on the back burner, have bigger things to ponder to day with a hot cup of coffee.

Hope to see you soon.....
