Well, what can I say except that I apologize for disappearing into thin air.
To bring you up to speed...sold our house....packed....moved....started a new job....
I finally have the computer set up and can get online....had to have the local telecommunications company come install a phone jack so I could set the computer up....etc.....lol! However, and here is the GREAT news....I finally have my own knitting room. The computer is in my knitting room and sometimes my son is in here...but I don't have to hide my stash/knitting all over the house. I can keep it all in one place now....I also have a TV in my knitting room to knit and watch TV or movies when I knit. I love it in here!!! When I find/unpack the camera I will post pictures of my favorite room....lots of ideas to decorate it!

Knitting update:
I am totally swept off my feet in love with Rowan Calmer! Oh My God!! This stuff is fantastic! I am making Bob from knitty.com in Red. The knitting is now complete and I need to have a seaming party!

I also started the shapely Tee pattern in Sirdar Pure Cotton in a vibrant pink.

I purchased the New Zealand Wool that was being sold at Knitting Maniac. What a super nice person Carissa is...she even gave me directions when I got lost trying to find her place...lol! I have a couple of different ideas of what to make with it. One of the items being considered is Mariah at Knitty.com.  Also considering doing York with the New Zealand Wool.

Stay tuned there is more to come!
