Howz Ya Doing?

Oh boy!  I have had a challenging last year.  The new job I started a year ago August has been a challenge, since its mainly a night shift until 12:30 am or very stinking early at 5:30 am, my incentive to knit or blog about my failures or successes have been put on a back burner for a bit.  But in the interim, I have gotten some stuff done.  I have done two Hitchhikers.  Yay!

And one Easy But Effective Shawl

I think I might do another Easy But Effective Shawl, because it was fun, takes up a good chunk of yarn and have aspirations on making a bigger version.

Next thing on my list to finish off is the 22.5* Shawl.   Since Saturday I have been whooped by a good does of hives which made my hands useless to knit with.  But with the steroids I have started taking yesterday, I can actually hold needles.  Never ever will under appreciate my hands again.  Last night I enjoyed watching most of the tail end of Downton Abbey and knitting on this shawl, even if it was in fingering weight wool and hives to boot!

I have missed doing this blog and hope that I won't let life get the better of me.

One soap box rant is that I really miss Diane from KnitABulls.  I am sad that she decided to shut down her videopodcast due to the haters out there.  I do love your passion Diane, hope after a respite you do decide to come back and prove to the haters out there that you are better than those (f-bomb) bitches.  You will always have a fan in me.

Peace, love, knitting, work through the hard stuff and the pain.  Good night.
