Where did the time go??!!

So, I just really noticed that I have not written since January of LAST YEAR!! Ok, so 13 months later, I think I should update my blog. I was not really busy durning that time, well most of it anyways. But there have been a few major changes in my life since I last wrote.

I was able to find a Tech job at a school in my area. I am really enjoying my new job and my co-workers as well. I have done a few test knits and ended up hurting myself by crocheting & knitting too much.

I am working with a lovely lady named Linda who is the designer/owner of the Wearable Art Emporium (WAE) on etsy.com. I have been knitting socks for her. I am loving her patterns. And I look forward to hopefully working longer with her. This means that there are going to be some projects that I can not share pictures of. But once they are ready to be sold I will post pictures and a link to the pattern.

I have decided that this is going to be the year of socks (along side WAE socks). I looked through yarn stash and over half of it (it's HUGE) is sock yarn. So, I have a few people in my life that would enjoy some handmade socks and this way I am knitting for Christmas and most of my presents will be done before December this year. :) Well, that is if I keep up with my plan anyways.

I also have the plan to write more. I have decided that since I turned 30 in January that I would like to keep a blog, or more accurately a better blog, of my projects and what has happened in my life.

For January the sock that I was working on was a Criminally Mindless KAL over on the Ravelry.com site in a group called Criminal Knits. I also wanted to try the Sweet Tomato Heel from Cat Borhdi. It is actually a simple idea and would love to get it to work on a sock. For the Criminally Mindless sock it did not work out. My instep is higher than what I had plan for and the pattern and heel made it really tight across the top of my "ankle" area. I have placed these on the side until I get some time to rip out the heel and start again.

In February I have two pairs on the needles. One is a WEA sock. It is coming along nicely. I had a brain fart to on the heel (ripped 3 times). I have one side that looks really good, but I may have to rip again because I am not liking the other. HOPEFULLY, I will get these ripped and on their way again tonight. The second pair is Everyday Socks. I am using the Hermione's Everyday Sock pattern and a Crazy Zauberball that was purchased for me in Australia by Vicki and Adam.

I will try to post something at the very least once a week. I will try to post updates on my projects on Fridays. And have some pictures to show you as well.
