I'm Back!

I'm not sure how it happened but somehow I totally forgot I had a blog.  I was looking at my settings on Ravelry and I saw my blog link. Hey!  I have a blog!  I haven't written in it for 4 years!  How did I forget that!  I knew I had been in a slump for a couple years but geesh.  I have a lot of catching up to do.

Here is the short version.

I moved back to California in 2010.  This is important for this blog because it completely changes what I am going to knit.  I love hats, mittens and scarves but they are not really needed here.  I may still make hats for fun and some lightweight scarves for fashion accessories but here in Surf City we keep our snow in the mountains where we can gaze at it from afar.  My stash has no cotton because I hate knitting with cotton.  It has no elasticity and the most I will do with it is dishcloths.  Cotton blends are okay.  I am moving to more lace projects.  I have also started adding more beads because they are just plain fun and I like sparklies.

The location has changed and life is less seasonal but the knitting goes on.  I am not going to be able to cover the last 4 years but I will try to put in my most recent items.  I still have some stash that has to go and I promise (Amy) to finally finish that Civil War Shawl with the really daunting edging.
