Moving On

It seems like most of my posts for the past 6 months have been, “sorry I’ve been such a delinquent blogger…” but the apologies stop here. I was busy having a life. And that’s a good thing. Just to bring the blog up-to-date, I’ve left the knitting store (in April), begun a new job managing a pediatricians’ office, moved out of the house I’d been living in for 8 years, and bought a house built in 1737 with my significant other. We went to Wisconsin, had friends visit from Wisconsin, sent my oldest daughter off to college, got my middle daughter settled in high school, and threw out most of my shoes. Mary says blogging seems terribly self-involved. I can’t disagree. And if you’re doing most things properly, they are self-involved. Even Mother Theresa’s work fulfilled some part of her.

Just as my mother said, it’s taken six months since leaving the store to reconnect with my knitting side in a happier way. I’ve knit furiously in the past few months, taken a class with Nicky Epstein, gone to the Wool & Sheep Festival in Rhinebeck, NY, and even designed a few things. Rather than try to bring my knitting blog up-to-date with all the finished objects, I’m going to just post (boast?) from this point forward. All that photographing takes too much time.



Also, because I do always do what my mother tells me*, I have registered yet another domain name: PumpkinHillFarm.net. I haven’t done much except set up email and put up a marker page, but I will get to it. I found that between knitting and the internet, I can resist the temptations of unpacking indefinitely.

*She could be reading this at any time so this is my story and I’m sticking to it. HI MOM!!!
