i can't believe how long it's been since i last posted. i've been neglecting you. stress has overwhelmed my life in the last month and i just haven't wanted talk about it...although it doesn't seem as if i want to talk about anything at all.
anyway, things are looking up and you can even see a smile on my face these days.

i am also reading up on forgotten things.

what's wrong with blogger today? i did two posts earlier today and they're gone! what happened? did i do something to deserve this? and what's more is they were actually knitting posts! which is what i'm supposed to be writing about all the time...but don't do enough. while i am always knitting, reading about knitting, buying yarn or just playing with the large yarn stash i have...it's seems i rarely post something on my blog about it...why? new rule: must knitblog once a week.

after that, i will begin reading
a great find from the goodwill this morning after a great brunch here.

future me

i'm sick. and i'm sick of being sick. i thought it was just a little cold, but now i'm home with a fever and taking meds. for some reason i cannot lay down for 30 minutes after taking my pills so i've been looking around at sites i've wanted to read but haven't had the time.
i found a site where you can send an e-mail to yourself in the future. i'm going to send myself an e-mail for 12/31/06 with all of my predictions for the year. we'll see what comes true.

looks like i won't be winning the gold this year. i tried, i really did try to finish my first pair of socks for the knitting olympics. between being horribly sick and with all the projects at work leaving me with barely a second to breathe...i just didn't have the time i thought i would. but i do have one sock finished. no picture to post though. let's just say it wasn't the best thing i've ever made...

some things i'd like from clover

when i see something i love in a movie or in a magazine i always want to try to re-create it for myself. not too long ago i saw this really great shawl in an old fashion magazine and i played around for a little bit to try to make a similar pattern. unfortunately i do not have the time (or as much patience as i'd like) to do this. just came across someone who has...turtle knits
