I have put everything aside to work on this sweater. It is the gathered pullover designed by Hana Jason from IK winter 2007. I am knitting it in Top of the Lamb sport in charcoal. I love how it is turning out! There has been some discussion out there about how it fits but I love it. Must work for my figure. I was planning on updating everything in the past week but I've just been too busy. Maybe after Christmas when drivers ed is over and the holidays are over. For now, I am off to the city for the week-end. Maybe I will take some pictures since there will be no knitting done over the week-end. Have a good week-end.

Twice in One Week!
No pictures here today. I am trying to catch up with Ravelry today. I posted a couple of my projects there (you can find me under tandemknitter) and then spent time cruising around. Wonderful stuff! I feel so guilty for letting everything and everyone go. Won't let it happen again.

The Best Intentions
I had the best of intentions when I said a month ago that I was going to catch up but life has just been too hectic. I should explain more about what is going on here I suppose. Last summer TOOMA took a job in the NYC area. It is a wonderful job but it of course entailed us moving. Well after much soul-searching and investigating we decided to let our daughter finish high school here and then move as empty nesters in a couple of years. So we have se
t up two households and we go back and forth on the week-ends. It means I have very little time for anything. When I do have time I want to knit rather than blog. So that is why I have been neglecting this poor little blog. In time I hope to have things organized better so that I am not always trying to catch up! I have been knitting a little bit and sewing also. TOOMA's new company has been very supportive and we are looking forward to a new house in a new part of the country as well as getting rid of a lot of baggage. I am hoping to whittle my stash down before the move (mainly because it is so embarrassing). I may end up selling some of it just so I don't have to move it! For now, I have been working on TOOMA's sweater and a pair of socks to match. I also have been sewing off and on and have made a wool skirt for myself with an invisible zipper and fully-lined. It still needs to be hemmed but I am very proud of 
m
yself! I also went on a road trip with some friends last week and bought this really neat Vera Bradley basket! Doesn't it look neat with yarn in it? Now I have to get stuff ready for MD b'day and also thanksgiving so I'm not sure how much blogging I will get done. Teachers are threatening to strike here in which case we will pack up and spend part of each week in NYC seeing the sights! I should be looking at where we would like to move but I have more fun just taking the train into the city. So I will try to blog but not sure how much I will get done. Life remains interesting.
