okay. i have many excuses why i have not posted since before christmas. they are really good excuses. most of them relate to being really busy. alas, i have finally cobbled together enough time to post. sadly, i have not knitted anything since december. i have thought about knitting something but i just have not gotten around to actually picking up needles to knit. it is certainly not because of a lack of fantastic projects to knit. i have a ton of nicely organized patterns in binders nonetheless. i even splurged on knitcompanion for my ipad to spur me on. fingers crossed, i will make a dent in my long cue of projects.

the good news is, i was not completely outside of the knitting world in january. i attended vogue knitting live this year. i came home with a bounty of new projects…which of course i have not cast-on yet…but i am so excited about them.

i bought two excellent books and two pattern kits. the one in the bucket is an absolutely adorable hat pattern with the softest yarn from stitchuary. the yarn is absolutely yummy. i am actually trying really hard not to go to their website to order more. i highly recommend huacaya alpaca sugar ann snap yarn.

my goal is to try and be better this month and actually post a new project that i started. ambitious, yes, but i think that i can achieve this. post a comment with a recent knitting project that you are excited about. perhaps, hearing about others knitting will motivate me. it is worth a try.
