Spring.... A Time for Renewal

Time to revisit my blog.... it's embarrassing to think the last time I posted anything was in 2006 (don't look... I've deleted those posts).  While knitting factored into the content (trust me), so did woodworking, sewing, and quilting. So, cut to six years later:  I've discovered Ravelry and knitting is my go-to activity, while the other activities wait in the wings. 


Projects have been mainly focused on socks, although that's not to say there isn't enough yarn in my stash for several sweaters (which remain either partially knit or still in the optimistic "will be knit" stages). 

And the "new" project added to my repertoire is scarves (although some may refer to them as shawls).  The first one on my needles is "Semele", and is knit in Handmaiden SeaSilk in "Spring" (appropriate, yes?), and it certainly expanded my knitting skills into the area of a provisional cast-on. I'm about one-third of the way in the first half (how's that for math?!).

It's taking a back seat right now to these... (I'm hoping they're done by May 31).  


These are "Haystacks" and are done in Grant Creek Yarns "Barely Yellow" (merino/cashmere/nylon).




So, what are my plans for this blog?  I hope to share things that inspire me to create -- as well as the things that are the product of that creative inspiration and time.  And yes, it will be on a more regular basis...  at the very least, I promise it won't be another six years before I post again!
