What to do

Well, I started to get familiar with Ravelry which is an amazing site. I began to enter my stash info and realized this would take weeks. I still haven't figured out how to use the digital camera to photograph what I have. Then, I clicked on books and wound up at the Library thing. OY, I am a bit overwhelmed. I'm sure getting all this organized will be well worth it, but honestly, I have to ask myself if I want to get that nuts about my knitting life?

So, while thinking this over, I started and completed a rolled edge hat for an almost 2 year old. I used Berrocco Hip Hop in a bright, primary colors from my stash. This time spent was more much productive.

I'm going to marinate on this for a while, but will play on the site more to see what else it offers.

Life Upside Down

Its been a very long time since I blogged. Life gets so busy. I'm approaching my one year anniversary of returning to work after active momhood. Over the past few months, my hours and responsibilities have increased. Its still fun. I've continued with my knitting and finished various projects. Spent a few weekends organzing my knitting room and reducing my magazine stash. Yarn stash is still plentiful.

My daughter, Rachel and her partner/coach, CG, had fabulous presentation and results at the recent 2007 Lake Placid Ice Dance Championships placing 4th/12th in the senior level compulsory dance event. We are hopeful that CG will decide to have a competitive season with Rachel.

Our summer was plagued with numerous health issues resulting in a tonsillectomy for Rachel and a nasty, first bout of diverticultis with complications for my husband. We are still trying to get right side up after all of those adventures.

I've been invited to join Ravelry and look forward to this. My computer skills are still not that great, so my abiltiy to get real fancy with my blog and photos may take a while.
