Finally Back Online

Sheesh. It’s been a while. October has officially become a busy month. With Amelia’s first birthday and trips to FL to have cake and presents with the grandparents and 2 weeks worth of sickness in our house and now preparing for Halloween, it’s been so busy. 2 weeks ago, Amelia came down with a cold or something and spiked fevers up to 103. An ear infection that had her screaming 3 nights straight from medication. Me developing the flu, I guess and being bed-ridden for 3-4 days. Then to find out it’s a massive sinus infection. So now I’m doped up on meds as well. Amelia had her one-year checkup and I baked cupcakes for her class at daycare. Plus we’re trying to figure out what to do for Halloween. It’s been a few busy weeks since I last posted.

And sadly enough, because of all the stuff going on, I’ve missed 2 SNB nights and have hardly worked on anything knitting/crochet related. It’s still warm here, so now that I’m working on the edge of my sister’s afghan the whole thing has to sit in my lap. Not fun to have a thick warm blanket on your lap when it’s sweltering hot. Plus I’ve messed up somehow and my ripple isn’t going the way it should. I need to take some time to recheck stitch count and pattern repeats to see where I went wrong and fix it. Then there’s a section hanging off the end of the border that I have no idea how it fits into the whole thing. It will be interesting to see where it goes, but I’m trying to take it one row at a time. With this yarn it’s so hard to see the stitches, much less in a ripple. ugh! I will be so glad to be done with this project so I can finally be done with Lion Brand Homespun for good.

As you can see, I finally also got my blog working again. So many errors and attempted fixes and it was all due to one plugin causing me so much grief. So I disabled that plugin and all is well.

So start commenting! I have none!
