Where Have You Been // I’ve Missed You
Oh my, when I decided to go to graduate school in February of 2009, I knew it would consume my time. I also knew that I would have to choose between blogging and other things I enjoyed doing. For the past year knitting and fibery fun won out. I did not realize is that I would actually miss blogging as much as I have. I am still in school, a little more than halfway done, and I have a part-time online job now as well. We moved to Virginia and back to Auburn. Blazer passed away and Ebby became queen of the house. There are just so many things I should have blogged about this past year and did not. So, here I am, blogging again.
I have begun a new, sewing related, fiber obsession. I can’t disclose the details yet as I am making the first one for a very good friend in Ohio. But, it is almost finished and then I will have a big reveal post. Perhaps I will incorporate a prize or two…
In other news, I have been knitting socks like crazy and am halfway finished with my year long Sock Knitter’s Anonymous challenge of one pair per month. Hand knitted socks are so much more comfortable to wear than store bought! For my Ravelympics entry I decided to try to finish my Frost Flowers and Leaves Shawl.
Taking a quick look at the days left in the Olympics and the amount I still have to knit on this thing, I will not finish in time. However, I do think I will have it to a point where it will be better to finish it than not.
So nice to be back, see you soon…Deborah

Scott’s Christmas Present // finished just under the wire
I have been working on these and avoiding these for the past two months. Last night I was able to finish them up just in time for Christmas. Since we are now here in Virginia, Scott needs something warm on his hands. So, here are Scott’s Christmas Gloves…

Galadriel // Finally A New Pattern
I finally found the time to sit down and put together this pattern. The Atlanta Knitters Guild Secret knit-a-long took place in June, 2009. Since starting back to school I have not had time to do much designing or editing and so now it is November and the pattern, somehow, is complete and ready for sale.
I have another pattern in the queue and one in the head, so maybe I can stay motivated to get them out for you all soon. The next Secret of the Stole Knit-A-Long will probably be next year sometime, but I have no idea when. The two patterns that I have coming up are more narrow in theme and are really not suitable for a “world-wide” knit-a-long. There will be another one, I just don’t know when.
Here are the links to Galadriel:
