Knitting amid the chaos

I'm pleased to report that I've set up a bi-weekly knit and crochet group at a wonderful little local coffee shop in San Marcos, Old California Coffee House & Eatery. This Thursday will be the second gathering. :)

Also, I've been whipping up some adorable baby booties to soon be given to my good friend who just had her first baby (a boy). After she's gotten several pairs of footwear for her young one I'll continue to play with color combinations and donate them to my local charity, Alternatives Women's Center. I'm sure they and the receiving moms along with their little ones will appreciate them. :)

Well I think my iPod may be charged enough to attempt to go to sleep now. I'll attempt to post again in the nearer future. Writing is good for the soul.

Coming Up For Air

Things have been just a little crazy since the year begun. Work has been extremely demanding which has resulted in a lot of overtime. It has also caused me to get out of a routine which has nearly turned my world upside down! AH! I'm slowly but surely grasping the reins again and hope to have things somewhat in order soon. It won't be fully sane until tax season is over though.



Thankfully I have had a few moments in between events and tasks to do a couple of small knit projects for none other than ME! Yay! I don't make many things for myself so it's been a lot of fun. I made my first complete archaicly basic sock. Then moved on to a wonderful Cookie A. Toe Up sock with a wonderful turning leaf pattern on the top of the foot and back of the leg. I'm making the first pair with worsted weight so they're larger and will only be used as house slippers for my cold toes. Much to my husband's delight :)



Another thing that's been good about the busyness is that I've been mentally distracted. Those that know what I'm talking about I owe a very big thank you to. You all have been beyond supportive and sweet and giving wonderful words of encouragment when it's hard to say the anything at all.
