!!!!!

I just noticed that since I haven't posted for a while, the main page of my blog has been blank! I thought I'd post a quick update from work to let everyone know that I'm still alive.

My mom and I have been busy since she got here last Wednesday--teaching classes together, having a crazy time in Tokyo, shopping, cooking and doing all sorts of other stuff. I'm tired just thinking about it. If you want the real scoop on what we've been up to (and details our fun day meeting Kat and Stefana) you'll have to check out my mom's story. I second everything she says--thanks for the great day, girls!

In knitting, I think I've given up on my lacey wrap. I was knitting it for a specific event that's coming up fast, and I just stopped enjoying the whole process. If I was just making the pattern for the fun of it, I would definitely stick with it, but at this point I don't feel like dealing with the trial and error of my own pattern when I'm planning on wearing it two weeks from tomorrow. Life is too short to be knitting things that I don't enjoy. I'll set it aside for a while before frogging, but I think that the beautiful Noro colorway is more suited to a simpler pattern.

You know what that means? It's time to cast on for projects. Lots of them! I'm thinking thrummed mittens, Sesame (I even swatched!), and maybe diving into this beautiful yarn palette to try something fair isle. The possibilities are endless!!

Thanks for all the sock suggestions. I decided to cast on for a ribbed sock with my Trekking and I'm about to turn the heel. Pictures on the way... I'd better get back to work.
