A Bitter Knitter

Brought back my love of knitting, that is. I am quite satisfied: I love the little sheep! All total, they took less than a week, which makes me happy, too. I'm back in my knitting groove and have worked some on Jo's new hat and a project I'm fixing for a friend since finishing these on Saturday. Of course, I'm also stash diving today to see what other new, quick project I might cast on for me. (I'm not a monogamous knitter, y'all, in case you couldn't tell.) Pattern again is Greenway Sheep  which is free on Ravelry. I used Inner Yarn Zen Superwash fingering.  I modified the pattern to use only 48 stitches and I added a thumb gusset because I am a thumb gusset type person.

Hello (echo, echo, echo...)! I'm not sure if anyone is still following my blog since it's been over two years since I last posted, and if you want two posts you have to go three years back. There are two things in my life that have led to blog silence: 1) small child. Jo is now 5! 2) smart phone. I blogged when I sat at the computer. I do much less  computer sitting since I a) graduated from college, and b) got a smart phone and I don't like composing blogs on my phone. I can't format in the same ways and I don't like that. But here I am, blogging on my phone. Another observation that I have made about myself is actually the thought seed for this blog post. Yesterday I was looking at my current WIPs (that's Works in Progress, Muggles) and I was feeling twitchy. I didn't WANT to work on the monster Jo wanted to give Daddy for Christmas, or the hat I started for Jo, or that project I am fixing for a friend, or that languishing sample knit, or those so
