Ah, okay, so this blogging thing isn't working out so well. It's like when I was in high school and applying for a scholarship from a Lutheran organization that told me I hadn't represented myself well on paper. I'm not very good at self-promotion, even 8 years later!

I have still more photos of finished objects to post, but we'll get to that later. I also need to photograph and post a picture of my FANTASTIC Knitty Secret Pal 5 package. I have received 2 so far, and I really have an amazingly generous SP. I will post pics soon, promise.

In knitting news, I've been hit with a barrage of works in progress. First, there's Ruffles, from Scarf Style, which has been in my knitting basket since June, I think. Then there's a sock for my husband, the Lily Chin reversible rib shawl, a lace scarf for my mother, and an adorable little baby hat for a friend's daughter. Oh, and I started Cinxia, from the current Knitty. I'm hoping to finish in time to wear to Rhinebeck! Yes, you read that correctly--I'm going to Rhinebeck!

Oh, the Samantha sweater is finished, except for sewing on the buttons. I only have white thread, which is okay, but I'm having mixed feelings about it.

This Sunday is the Knitty cruise in NYC, where I'm going to go hang out with Maryann and Karen, along with many other Knitty and non-Knitty people. I'm bringing Cinxia to work on, unless I get enough finished that it's too big. Then it will be Ruffles.

Sometime I will post links, but not now!
