OTN...

I've really been getting into these new "arrow shaped" shawl/scarf patterns that are becoming more and more showcased on Ravelry.   I have two on the needles right now and am getting ready to start another one.  The one pattern that I'm doing is so simple.  It is called "Match and Move" by Martina Behm.  This thing is so big!  I've still got almost 80 or 90 more rows to do before I'm done. Besides it being such an easy pattern, it is also one that you can do in so many different ways. To find that out - just check the projects at the Ravelry page for this pattern!!  I'm already planning out some colors for my next one!  But first, to finish this one!

Trying to Get Back...

I stopped blogging quite awhile ago.  I just felt I did not have anything much to blog about. I don't work anymore. I don't really go anywhere - except to the grocery store, the knitting store, the bookstore.  I don't have any face to face friends to do things with - so nothing to talk about there.  My family is 540 miles away.  No kids....  I was just struggling to find things to "blog about"... But I want to try again - find my own blog personality....

I recently bought this magazine.  I liked it enough to get the newest issue last week.  It is interesting to find out how people got into blogging, about the things they blog about - their struggles with their blogs - their reasons for sometimes stepping away from their blogs, etc etc....

Anyway, I'm going to try again - because I do enjoy doing my blog.  Even if no one out there is "listening"...  I still enjoy doing it...
