Lots, lots and more lots going on!

Well, it has been a long time hasn't it? Lots of lots going on. Knitting is going well. I will be posting projects that I have been working on and projects that are completed shortly. My Mom gave (yes...gave!) me her camera, so I now have a decent method to photograph what I have been doing. I set a very ambitious goal for Christmas. Socks for all of our children (his and mine = 6) and several friends. I also knit a baby sweater, handwarmers and two hats. I started all of this during the month of October, plus a sweater. I am not done with the sweater - I had to rip it, rip it, rip it because the back turned out to be soooo big. Bummer, but what are ya gonna do? All of this knitting is making my hands and my wrists hurt. Apparently, I am a "picker." I need to be more aware of how tight I am holding my needles. I think that I am gripping as if my life depended on it. RELAX....yeah, right.

On the home front, my daughter turns 18 next week. I was signing forms for this school semester for her last night and I realized that these were probably the last forms that I would be required to sign. Wow. When did that happen? How? I will be posting for her birthday next week. My thoughts are a jumble right now, hopefully, I will get them together enough to communicate. What a journey.

Late night knit night tonight at Sow's Ear! I always love that. Also, daughter and I will be mainlining CSI Las Vegas. Really, really looking forward to the weekend.

Hope your's is great. Speak with you soon. P.
