Well... It's been more than a minute since I updated this blog. To be fair, I haven't knit much in the last few years. Time got away from me while I was finishing up my degree, I think. The good news is that I am officially a college graduate! Hooray! On top of that, I started a new job less than a month after graduating. Life has been super busy, but I'm starting to settle into it a bit now.
I should mention that I had to move in order to take the job and I didn't have a lot of time to pack and prepare... So, I have almost nothing knitting related with me. Okay, I don't have a couch, TV, dining table, or microwave so it shouldn't be terribly surprising that I didn't bring my knitting stuff. Eventually, I will get all moved in over here and I think I will start knitting again. I miss it. I miss the calming, zen-like state I enter when my hands move easily through a simple scarf or dishcloth pattern. I miss the feel of the yarn in my hands. I think I even miss the cursing when I realize I've made a mistake and have to rip back hours of work to fix it.
You know what? I really want to make that peacock feathers shawl. I realized recently that I was needlessly complicating the pattern. It's in me to make that shawl and I want it. I want to knit more dishcloths, too. I love using them and giving them as gifts. I miss wearing socks I've made with my own hands.
Yes. It's clear. I am a knitter and I've been away too long.
