I suck, I know
So it's been nearly three months since I've posted anything. What happened to me? Was I abducted by aliens? Moved into the witness protection program? In a coma? Nah, none of that. I've just been busy. And lazy. Busy because I started a new job 2 months ago and I've been very tired. Getting up at 5:45 a.m. everyday is crap. I don't like it at all. Only one more week though, then I'm going in at 11. I can't wait.
I have been knitting throughout though. I've completed my Rona shawl, which I've never posted pictures of. That's okay, because now you get to see in in all its glory. It was a nightmare to block though.
I've also been knitting doilies for my mom for Christmas. One is complete, and the other should be done tomorrow or Monday. It's Egeblad from Yarn Over. I absolutely love it.
I also ordered a drum carder today. It's the Strauch Petite with brush attachment. I really can't wait until it comes in. I'm already dying fiber to blend into batts. Once my alpaca stash comes back from Wooly Knob, it's going to be on! One of the first projects I have my eyes set on are the Nordic Lights socks from Spindlicity.
I'm tired, and I'm going to work on my other doily now, but rest assured I'll be posting more frequently. My New Years resolution is to post here at least once a week.

Absolutely stunning. I started a circular shawl a few weeks ago, and had to frog it immediately. I am studying for my real estate liscense and figured, I had enough memorizing and calculating to do.
My plan is to stick with socks and 4 row repeat patterns until I take my final exam. I also love, love, loved your shrug. I made one recently and already got an ink stain on it. It's a light blue so maybe I'll dye it?
