It seems like only yesterday...

But, I haven't posted since March 2012!  All I can say is that sometimes life gets busy.  My only "big" news in the past year is that I moved to a new-to-me house, visited my sister & family in South Carolina, and I'm now on 'sick leave' after a total knee replacement last month.

Prior to surgery I had in mind that I'd get caught up on this blog, and do a lot of work updating my genealogy database with information from two file drawers full of papers.  It would have helped immensely if I had a laptop... sitting at the computer desk for very long is not comfortable yet.

During the past year plus:  I've NOT finished that quilt.  I think I only have one or two Blocks of the Month to do (from last October.)  I've set a goal to finish it by New Year's Day 2014.

During the past year plus:  I've knit a pile of socks but did not get photos of all of them, but I'll add the earlier ones I have photos of below.  I'll do separate entries for the more recent pairs.

 These are actually among my favorites... using leftover yarn from the two pair of Toxic Socks I knit for my daughters (purples & white) and I think the middle is leftover from the Chili socks from early 2012.














The gray waffle stitch socks are also mine. 

And these Brigit socks are mine also.  I wasn't happy with the way the Knit Picks heathered yarn was a bit stripey on the one leg.  So, I'm glad I hadn't promised these to anyone else.  Love the pattern, though. Very easy to memorize.
