hello…
I’m still alive and very busy. My Google calendar is blocked solid almost every day with classes, meetings, work, practicum and other random things. This weekend is an action-packed one with fiber and stories. Saturday morning, I’ll be attending the Fiber Event in Indiana with my knitting friends. I can’t wait! And the annual Storytelling Festival is this weekend at school. In all of the craziness, I sat down at my wheel for half an hour this afternoon and spun some of the lovely silk hankies that I have from my silk-spinning class in February.
I have finished a few projects but haven’t taken the time to take or post the photos.
Do you ever finish a project and think, “Wow, who knit that!?” The Anniversary Socks by Nancy Bush from the Favorite Socks book was my first wow project, the first project that I actually thought that I created something absolutely beautiful. I realize I posted a photo after I finished the first sock but the pair together just has to be shared.

After things start to slow down a bit in the next few weeks with the end of the semester quickly upon us, I’ll post more photos. The Martha sweater is so close to being completed but I’ve been fighting with fitting the sleeves into the armholes and not having pointy shoulders, never a good look.
Finally, I can’t write a post without mentioning my beloved Jayhawks who won the NCAA National Basketball Championship on Monday night. It was a very sweet victory and it made me miss Lawrence so much. For those who don’t know, I did my undergraduate work at KU and loved Lawrence. I’ve been singing the Crimson and the Blue alma mater song to myself with a Rock Chalk chant thrown in all week.
