I'm Back!!

 I'm back to blogging. I took a break. I was having a few speed bumps in my life. Family stuff that I really don't want to share. I have found some peace and come to a place where I can just let whatever happens happen. Sometimes you can't be the fixer. Sometimes things or people have to fix themselves. Detachment is sometimes the best gift that you can give yourself. 

And there's the election. Oy, that is a whole other ball of wax that kept me off of social media a bit. But now I'm back and ready to blog again. I have missed this and all the kind comments! 

First off: knitting. I have done quite a few things. Two sweaters, socks, socks, socks, a hat and a shawl. Creativity grounds me and helps me put things in perspective. 

The socks above were my own design. Knit in three yarns, I had a field day weaving in all those ends!

This shawl entailed 656 yards of fingering weight in knit and purl rows. Boring TV knitting for sure, but I love the outcome.

And lastly, a hat for my sweet supportive husband, who waited patiently while I knitted yards and yards of yarn for other projects before finally living up to my promise to knit him one. He's a champ. 

I also knit up Andrea Mowry's Weekender sweater, but I don't have a picture. Will post at a different time.

Tomorrow, some non-knitting things. It's good to be back.
