So, I'm on lunch break and enjoying it quite well thank you. Picked up some sushi, which grossed out my coworkers and am just chilling. Thought it would be the perfect chance to update the old blog.

I started my first (and definitely not my last) Hemlock Ring Blanket Saturday evening. As of now I am 3/4 done. I absolutely LOVE this pattern and it is sooo pretty. I am thinking this one will be gifted to a friend for the birth of her grandbaby. :)

Life in general is good this week. :) Upswings are good right?

I'm learning so much in my new duties at work. I am proud of all that I have accomplished, even though at times it is hard for me to remember not allow myself to feel overwhelmed. Mistakes are okay. Its all a learning process and I am doing okay with it.

Finishalongapalooza list has been added to side bar. I am doing good on this-one item is finished and 2 picked back up. Plan to have the Webs Scarf done by next Tuesday's Knitters meeting.

In a really good mood today. :) At work but obviously would rather be knitting!!!

So… it’s a New Year.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this juggling act of mine and balls I have dropped and might like to pick back up again.

First of all...
I joined 2008 Finishalongapalooza with L&V and created a list of WIP’s to finish this year.
Here is my list.
1. Finish 2nd fingerless mitt (not started)
2. Finish Danica which was supposed to be a Christmas present but wasn’t. (1/3 done)
3. Finish Webs scarf (2/3 done)
4. Coachella (1/10 done)
5. The 2nd Jaywalker (1/4 done but needs to be frogged due to error, and restarted)
6. Toe up Watercolor socks on ML (1/2 done)

Next up...
I miss writing. I really do. Not like blog writing. Real writing.
It does bother me that I have a book half complete. All it needs is a bit of fleshing out and it would be done but I just really don’t have the desire to work on it. But I have been shaping up the bones of another concept and am thinking of persuing it. I actually laid it out a bit last night over dinner and decided that it is worth doing. I’m even thinking ahead this time. It seems my best thoughts occur during times when writing is not an option. Such as in the shower or while driving. I’ve now gotten myself a digital recorder. So off we go…

Oh-I saw P.S. I Love You on Monday. Excellent. Bring tissues.
