Well, I'm still alive and lurking, though that's old news. But I do like to
touch base every once & awhile. If I ever make it to Sweden I want to be sure
Ron still remembers who I am!
As long as I keep teaching I don't have much time for anything else, although I
always have 5 or 6 knitting projects going (counting those that have been
stalled for years). I hadn't spun in at least 3 years, but got inspired this
fall and have spun some romney and some lovely Colour Harmonies silk. Not sure
what they'll be yet. I made a baby hat for a friend of my #2 daughter's and a
scarf out of older handspun for the boyfriend of my oldest daughter. I was
in the process of knitting another scarf for daughter #3's boyfriend, but they
broke up, so it's been ignored for awhile while I made another experimental
scarf and started yet another experiment, with sort of a jacquard pattern I
devised (I'm sure it's been invented multiple times by multiple knitters more
talented than I). And now I'm in my classroom, theoretically working. Back to
the students tomorrow; I'm sure they are at least as excited as I am. I am so
ready to retire...in
every aspect except the financial.
Here's hoping for a year with a bit more peace and a bit more love~
