A note on my absence...

I think I intended to start knitting and blogging again after the wedding... Shortly after we returned from our honeymoon my dad died and I intended to start up again after the funeral... and then before I knew it years had passed and there had been no blog updates and not really much knitting to speak of. This year I'm hoping to get things back to the happy place I was in a few years ago and go back to blogging and knitting and sharing my inane stories and thoughts.

Wedding Planning ate up my Knitting Time

So I've been a seriously bad blogger. All the wedding planning stuff and work have made the knitting time disappear. I don't have any knitting pictures just a few pictures from the Save the Date Magnets we made, its the only crafty thing I've done since I started planning this wedding. All the stress is enough to make a girl want to elope.

Black & Noro

Black & Noro Yarn: Noro Kureyon and Paton's Classic Merino Black Pattern: Brooklyn Tweed's Noro Stripes Scarf Comments: its a simple 1x1 rib pattern, and I love the way the black yarn makes the noro colors pop. It's super long, but I wanted it to be symetrical, but I just love the way it came out! The Christmas Tree Skirt I made a few months ago is finally in use...isn't it pretty! I had a great Birthday on Saturday, I got two birthday dinners, plus I got Colorado Fondu as a congrats for getting a job...So I ate all weekend, but it worked out!

Opposite of Everyone Elses

While most of you spent the month of November committed to daily posts on your blog, I forgot to post for the entire month! I had a busy month, I started a new job, that I actually like, and that pays well. As for the tilted duster, I'm a little pissed with it, the way I sewed the sleeve was all wonky and I just couldn't look at it anymore for a while. I'll post more with pictures tomorrow.

World Series Rings

As many of you may have heard the Red Sox won the World Series, they get some serious bling for it too! Speaking of World Series Rings I got my own on the first night of the world series! Joshua suprised me and asked me to marry him! The pictures don't do it justice, it is very hard to photograph somthing so shiny, but I tried. I just love it and I'm so excited!

Tilted Duster Update

Well last week I had the ALCS so it gave me quite a bit of knitting time, and now I'm on the Skirt part of the tilted duster, as soon as I finish that I'll just sew on the sleeves and we'll be set. Then we went to the St. Mary Magdalen fair, which I love, and we played some BINGO, ate some lobster and just all around had a good time. (but we never win at BINGO)
