Wow - It has been a long time!!

Things are always changing around my house.... since the last time I posted, the biggest change is the addition of a baby boy who is 8 months old now! (and crying now which is probably one of the biggest reasons I haven't been updating the blog!)

What spurred my interest in posting here? Well, I frogged a sock today. One that I finished quite some time ago - it was a bit big and so it sat all by itself, mateless. I could never bring myself to frog the work of something finished - afterall, I put so much time into it. Today, I decided if I wasn't going to knit the mate and it was too big anyhow - I was going to reclaim the yarn so it can be made into something else and used. And that is what I did. I'm feeling like a real knitter now. I can appreciate the work but can also feel good about taking it out if it just isn't right.

And can I say that I now feel that weaving in ends will actually work - it was so very hard to find the end and take it out. That was a discovery that I really liked and that will enable me to further enjoy the process without worry.
