Podcasts and patterns and blogs...oh,my!

Ah, well I've decided that if I'm going to do this blog thing I'd better just do it. Up to now I've been inconsistent about posting and BORING. Not that I have anything particularly lively to say today.

I did want to give credit where credit is due. I've mentioned the Gryffindor Scarf that my young wizard will be finding in his stocking this year (or under the tree, or just suddenly around his neck, did I mention I'm bad at making decisions?). I found the pattern here and I want to thank Lauren at atypically.knit for her generosity in sharing it! This is a photo of the work in progress with a bit of our holiday tree, which was lovingly decorated by the kids the day after Thanksgiving.




I've found a great way to entertain myself when I get the rare moments of knitting in peace (ie. when everyone else is sleeping). I've discovered podcasts! Of course I am likely the last person on earth to have discovered these, but I've been enjoying both Marie Irshad's Knit Cast and Brenda Dayne's Cast On. For some reason I now have an overwhelming urge to travel to the UK, and particularly visit Wales.


Finally, I seem to have been kicked off the Knitty webring for being a bad, bad blogmamma. I suppose I need to keep updating if I have any hopes of being kept on a webring. So very sorry to those who have been annoyed by my dead blog. I suppose that includes myself.

ARGH! Baby's awake...gotta get her back to sleep!
