or however the saying goes. Actually, in this case the leaf has been turned. I figure it’s about time I start writing again. Being a bit busy these days, I’m not sure how often I’ll actually be able to post entries, but I liked when I was blogging about my knitting projects and such.
After a bit of a break from everything, I’m finally back to my normal self and am knitting, running, biking, keeping up with my penpals, etc. Sure I could blog about why I took a break from everything, but I don’t feel the need to do so, and I figure the majority of the people who actually read my blog already know the whole story anyway.
I’m still enjoying my new life here in Virginia (3 years almost), have made some great new friends but of course still miss my great old friends from Kansas City. Those who read my blog before I temporarily abandoned it probably remember that I lost all my beloved pets in a short amount of time from each other. Well, I still miss them of course, but Zach and I have a new running and riding partner- a hyperactive Vizsla named Sprocket. He’s the craziest dog I’ve ever met, but he keeps me motivated to run and ride my bike (otherwise we pay for it because he didn’t get enough exercise…).
My latest knitting project is the Mowat Mukluks from Interweave Knits. I’m using different yarn than called for, partly to use up yarn in my stash, and partly because some of the yarn required costs too much. So I found a suitable substitute while reading this woman’s blog. I had to search eBay for the yarn since it was discontinued, but found some for a reasonable price. I didn’t quite love the color I found, but I figure it won’t kill me to use a color that I wouldn’t normally use. (More details to follow about selected yarns in separate blog post.)
