Now what???

Well, the Olympics are under way and as always I'm thinking about my Grandpa Steel. What would he think about all of this? I have always wished that I could have heard his stories about his Olympic experiences from him, but that was not meant to be I guess.

On a more fun note, I have signed up for Dish Rag Tag 2008 from Yarn Miracle's blog. It sounds like a lot of fun, and I could use a little fun in my life right now. I'm still working on my mystery shawl, but it feels like not much progress is being made since it takes about 45 minutes to complete one pattern row (if I don't mess up a pattern repeat that is). I'm hoping that I'll be able to get a picture within the next week or so.

The really odd (and truly random) new thing going on is that I have signed up for a Fantasy Football League. It's been set up by the guy that I'm seeing and I think it will be a lot of fun--even though I know next to nothing about football

Where have I been???

Wow! I can't believe that it has been a whole year since I last posted. Yikes! In the past year I have been pretty busy. Quite a few pairs of socks have been made. A sweater from the book "Big Girl Knits" has been started. Sock Madness 2008 came and went (I didn't get past the first round again this year, but I still had fun). A blanket for my new niece was made in very loud "Aunt Ann" type colors. I started talking to and seeing a new guy. I started a new job (coincidentally the same day that my niece was born)-which has been keeping me VERY busy lately. And I signed up for a mystery shawl KAL designed by Renee of Goddess Knits (http://www.bopeepswoolshop.com/zencart/) for her anniversary. It is a circular/PI type shawl and I am just beginning clue #4 out of 5 total.

I'm hoping to get some new project pics up soon as well as begin blogging on a more regular basis.

I shall return!!! (Is that a threat or a promise?? I'll let you decide.)
