I've been slogging, and I know it. After 6 weeks on what shall henceforth be known on the Project from Hell, my work life is getting back towards normal. I merely want to throw stuffed fish at my coworker when he is irritating, not gouge my eyeballs with a letter opener just to have a moment away from the towers of Stuff to be Done. Anyhoot, I can breathe again and it is real nice.
In crafty news, I'm most of the way done with a pair of grey wool pants for which I'm in the process of making up a pattern. Well, if "almost done" means "looks like pants". I still have to figure out how exactly I'm going to do the waistband, obtain a zipper, remember how to use my supposedly awesome but actually terribly confusing button-holer, and hem the suckers. The first part was easy (read: "sew seams"). All this detail work is a pain. So the pants are languishing on my ironing board, and I might get around to the rest in a year or two. In the meantime I've been knitting like crazy. I've got a couple of the blognipresent Mason-Dixon warshrags finished, am nearing the second toe of my first-ever handmade socks (I'm very proud), and have started work on projects for the 2006 Holiday Knitting Season. Obviously, those projects are classified and no further information regarding them will be available on this weblog until December 26th. Of course, I don't have pictures of any of these current projects. I've been having too much fun making them to take time to photograph them!
I'm also trying to remind myself that having a social life isn't a bad thing. There. You have now read my excuses for slogging. I'll try not to stay away for so long in the future.
I miss you.
I know! Me too! It's been so long, I didn't recognize your voice on the phone the other night (while it sounded familiar, my On It's Way To Bed brain couldn't quite connect "Loud Smokey Bar" with "Devlyn"--I think this is a good thing).
Are you coming to the show tomorrow night? Let me instruct you: correct answer="Yes."
