...hi?

Hi.

Okay:

+ So work and life and school have been busy enough that it's easier for me to microblog lately, over on Tumblr and Twitter. You can pretty much always find/follow me over there. I keep trying to make posts here but never feel like I have anything interesting to say, and I feel worse as time passes, and and and.

Knitting! (*is obsessed*) I knit all my Christmas gifts this year. It was the Year of the Hat, and it made Christmas so much fun! First my brother opened his and immediately put it on, then my sister-in-law, then my two nieces, then my brother-in-law. About halfway through this, my sister started complaining about how her ears were so cold and how she simply couldn't think and oh, if only she had a hat... She finally got to open hers, and it made me joyful to look around the room and see everyone wearing their new hats that I'd made. For years I've been away and mailing gifts and not knowing if anyone cared, so it was pretty special.

I still have to knit three Christmas hats, then I'll finish the beret I'm making for myself, which is all purl on size two needles and taking FOREVER, then I'll finish Emlyn's scarf, which is made from yarn we picked up in New Zealand on our honeymoon. And finish my mother's socks - I do really well on the first sock, but the second one is so anti-climatic that it's hard to get motivated and bloody well do it already. Then a sweater for my littlest niece, and two more for my nephews. I have Big Plans. OBSESSED, I tell you! I'm not allowed to buy more yarn until I clear out at least one of the three big storage bins under the bed. It's such a challenge.

Anyway. There's time for a bit more knitting before bed, I think!
