More spontaneous blogging

I know, I know. i post, what, 4 times a year? Maybe? It's really not you, it's me. I don't have the internets at home anymore, and have about an hour a day at work to play and that time's usually spent over there at the Ravelry. I heart Ravelry <3 So, that means, that I never post here. You don't know of my knitty adventures, (or lack thereof) or of my knitty progress (again, or lack thereof). But have no fear - I shall update you on everything, and it will be like we're old friends :)

So, where to start... well, my Left thumb decided to say "To hell with this!" and stopped working for a few months. I tried Physical Therapy, and ice, and heat, and rest, and not rest, and FINALLY got a cortisone shot in there about a week ago, and my hand finally is functional enough that I can knit again. So in the last 6 months, I haven't done a whole lot other than cry cause I couldn't knit, and read books cause what else am I going to do if I can't knit?

In the 6 months prior to that, I was knitting about 16 hours a day, since I was out of work and could do that. Lots of stuff got knitted then (pics of which are over there at the Ravelry). Now, I'm playing catch up - trying to finish stuff started 6 months ago, and trying to finish things for Birthdays and Christmas. Right now, I'm making the BF a another pair of socks (which I was trying to take a picture of and the batteries just died in the camera. Argh!) and am trying to finish me mum's sweater. I made myself a sweater, and now sweater's are my favorite things to knit right now. I have this wonderful woolly brown yarn at home and I am DYING to make that into a wonderful sweater.

With moving, and now having to COMMUTE (which I've never had to do before) I'm only home and awake for about 4 hours in an evening. There goes my amazing amounts of knitting time. Hopefully Santa will bring me more time or something to help me out.

It's dying...

I have a sweater that i love. It's not hand knitted, nor does it even fit me exceptionally well. But it was a gift, and the exact type of sweater i had wanted for a long time - a basic black sweater with big pockets. After wearing it for more years then i'd care to admit, it's dying a slow sweater death. It's been steadily getting holes in it, by yarn breaking in spots, and it's come apart at the seams, but now it's getting bad



Just means that i'm going to have to be more motivated to get knitting out of the way, so i can knit myself a replacement. *la sigh*

I really do love this sweater
