I have no good excuse...
I warned in January it would be sporatic...what I didn't warn was that by sporatic, I meant non-existant.
Let's see...where have I been since then? Besides studying my keister off, you mean?
Well, let's take a photo journey to catch you up, eh?
In February, two very good friends of mine began chemotherapy for breast cancer (both were diagnosed at Christmas)...being the good knitter friend I am, I spent February and part of March making Chemo Caps...sadly, I only photographed one before I sent them on their merry ways with well-wishes of good health. I am happy to report both are doing very well and one had her last treatment today.
In March, I joined a great community for girls and women called glow*. If you haven't heard of it or haven't checked it out, I highly recommend it as it's a place for girls and women to find inspiration and inspire each other to be our best selves without apologizing for who we are or tearing each other down...I fully support this community, am a proud sister and love reading it everyday. In early April, I scored tickets to the concert of my dreams...APOCALYPTOUR. Now, glow* is run by 4 members of Team Starkid, and since glow* has become a huge part of my life, I thought it only fitting I made them some sort of gift...this is what I came up with.
These are earwarmers and scarves with the glow* logo on them.
Then, after my semester finished up in late April, I began making baby presents for my advisor's wife. I really loved making them...and everyone at the shower was very impressed. I always like trying new things and new patterns and all of these I'd never made before!
The blanket is my favorite.
Now I am working on a graduation present for my cousin and then my summer project...something I've never done before (a new adventure!)...SOCKS...
Unfortunately, the large portrait is on indefinite hiatus...I just don't know what I'll do with it anymore...sorry to everyone who was tracking it.
I promise to update more this summer...I'll have to show you my socks. And in the fall, I'm beginning a new type of needle work...quilting.
All my love (and apologies).
Dora
