Wow! That's a Lot of Dust!

Indeed, I am dusting off the old blog. And knitting needles. A whole lot has happened since the first layer of dust settled!

• I stabbed my hand and severed my digital nerve, then had it surgically reconnected. My injury certainly put the brakes on my knitting and designing momentum. I still don’t have full feeling in my pointer finger – more of a tingle.

• We moved. Hopefully, fingers crossed, for the last time. Plenty of yard to eventually bury me in. My unsolicited advice: don’t move in your third trimester.

• I had a baby. Isaac joined our family September 20, 2012. He’s an easy, delightful little guy.

So I am cautiously starting to knit again. I am so unbelievably behind on what I wanted to get done in my knitting life that returning to my needles makes me anxious. (I mean, I don’t have a single FO for my baby that’s not a hand-me-down from his older brother or cousins!) Which is not how I want to feel about knitting. I am trying to design a simple baby blanket for Isaac as my re-entrance to the knitting and designing race. And hopefully soon it will be more fun than stressful.
