I’ve been doing a little knitting. I have 9 squares left on my crochet afghan. I thought I was running out of yarn, but this morning, I finally unpacked the suitcase from my knitting retreat and found the yarn that I thought I didn’t have. Woohoo! I also started back into my country afghan. I did a few rows last night and it jump started my interest in knitting again. Now that my websites are done and all I have to do is add content, I can start knitting more. Of course I didn’t get to knit any today, but I’m looking forward to a little time tomorrow night. Tonight’s just been busy. Hopefully this little recharge will help me get back to chamomile soon. And I promise to update the knit along info. I think it’s officially dead. So I’ll be removing that content shortly.

If you haven’t noticed already, I’ve switched back to “Movable Type”:http://www.movabletype.org. I felt it was a better choice for what I wanted to do. So far, I’m happy that I switched back, even though I miss not having to rebuild. Oh well. Each system has it’s own pros and cons and you just have to weigh them out and see which fits you better. So here it is. I hope to fix up my gallery of completed projects in the next couple of weeks. I like what “Becky”:http://countrygirlzine.us has done with her gallery, but I’m not sure I like that layout.
In knitting news, I haven’t been knitting much since I’ve been trying to get my website all set up. But I have managed to finish a few more crochet squares for my afghan. I think I only have about 10 or 11 more to go. I can’t wait to get it finished. I just need to quit doing other useless stuff and get knitting. LOL!

Here is the progress of my first sock ever. I think it’s coming out great. I’ve actually gotten past the heel and am on the main foot part already, but this photo was obviously taken before that. Whenever I do finish it, I’ll post a picture so you can see how it turned out. I can’t wait to try it on. :)

Here’s my completed sleeves. I finished them a few weeks ago during my knitting retreat, but just now have found time to post the picture. I did start on the front, but haven’t gotten far. I haven’t even made it past the ribbing yet, but I’ll get back to it soon. I’m just really glad that my sleeves came out identical. I was so worried that one would end up shorter than the other or something would be terribly off, but look, they match! Yeah!

Ever since I came back from my vacation, I’ve been so buy that I’ve only knit one time. I made two squares for my crochet afghan. Ok, so that’s not really knitting, but it counts. I just got a new eMac, so I’ve been playing with it. I also joined a gym so I’m going there 3 times a week after work. Plus I’ve aquired some website projects that I’d like to get done. I’ve got pictures of my progress from my vacation that I still have to post, but haven’t had time. I’d like to get back to my knitting and crochet and I plan to after I finish the book I’m currently reading.
But seeing as how life is just taking over, I’ll probably not be updating this site as much as I used to. I’ve resolved not to try to compete with all you women who are speed demon knitters. I’m just going to go at my own pace. When I have progress to show, I’ll post. But I’m not going to try to do the marathon. My life just doesn’t allow for it. The site will stay up for now, so I can keep track of my projects, but it isn’t going to be “hopping” unfortunately. I do hope you’ll all still visit from time to time to see what’s going on.
If you are part of the Chamomile knit-along, please send me emails of your progress or completion. I’ve been so busy, I haven’t even really had time to visit my regular knit reads. :( I’m so out of the loop, it’s sad. But I’m having fun with all the stuff that is keeping me busy elsewhere. So I guess that is something.
