I could get all resolution-y, or all sentimental, or all I-don’t-know-what-else, but I’ll leave it at this:

This has been the hardest–but by far the best–year of my life.

Thank you for your part in that.

See you soon.

I have absolutely no news on the crafting front, since my workweek was insane. The weather, however, is beautiful.

That’s all I’ve got.

Moving the computer. I have a few things I want to take care of first, because I hate to leave folks hanging. But it’s time to vacation-ize the Etsy shop for a few days and shut this thing down. Might be a little weird, but I think I can live with it.

Cast on for a new pair of socks yesterday. Yay! I’m trying out my brand-shiny-new 4″ Harmony dpns, and so far I’m a fan…might switch back to the 6″ when there’s more fabric to manage, but I’m not sure. We’ll see. Forest Canopy is coming along beautifully. I am so in love with both yarn and pattern!

I really need to dig through my WIP basket and see what’s up there. I haven’t been using my Rav notebook to its full potential for a while now…time to actually take advantage of it again and see if I can get some things finished! I have a terrible hankering to start another shawl, which would mean picking more yarn, and I’m trying to resist because I really don’t have the money…maybe I can make a deal with myself. *grin*

Anyway, I’ll post when we reach the away-for-a-few-days point here.

It’s been a long few months, with big personal changes and the utter chaos that those can bring. Now that things are closer to moving in some direction rather than just flailing about wildly, I wanted to return to the blog if for no other reason than to talk about all of the fun I’m having knitting in the few moments I can manage to steal in my current schedule. I recently finished my first pair of socks, for one thing, my first lace project is underway, and I finally made a trip to WEBS a few weeks ago.

Still have to kick the camera into working, but stay tuned…

I was hoping to end the year around here on a more inspired note, but there has just simply been so much going on in the non-blog, non-fiber world for me that I’ve got nothing to talk about here. I’m very much hoping that will change in 2009.

To anyone still wandering through: Happy New Year, and may the next year be kind to you and yours.

I’d forgotten just how exhausting it is to work retail at the holidays. Yikes.

Anyway, for kicks and to see how it works out (and because I think a little competition might be good for Etsy), I opened an ArtFire shop: Neatly Tangled. Had a sale already, which I’m going to take as a very good sign, seeing as how I’ve only managed to list two patterns.

I hope the holidays are bringing you joy rather than the appallingly common misery.

Has pretty much been a bust from the crafting perspective. Between the insanity of pre-Christmas retail work and trying to work through some things at home, it’s been more than wild. And now to add to the chaos I’m relocating my workspace to another room, so I’ll be ripping it all apart and putting it back together again and no matter how I try, that will take days. But we’re cruising along here pretty well, for all that. So yay! LOL.
