a big thank you
First, just a quick housekeeping note, keep an eye out here for a moving announcement. Bryan and I are deciding to cut costs a bit and share a domain name. We haven’t come up with one yet but when we’re all moved in I’ll give you some warning. I’m giving up the erica-lee.org domain name after seven years and need to be moved by November 17, so there’s a bit of crunch time.
Thank you all to your very sweet notes and messages this week. I truly have dear friends from all over the country and world. Sometimes it takes something like this to remind me exactly what it’s all about. It’s so easy to get so wrapped up in school and other stuff that I forget about the really important things like family, friends and taking time for myself. School is important but I can’t let it completely rule my life. As my mom reminded me earlier this week, I need to remind myself how badly I wanted to go to school and why I’m in school. I’m still enjoying school but it’s feeling a bit overwhelming at the moment making up papers that I missed.
Tuesday evening at our knitting group, we had a blast making creep cakes and watching The Nightmare Before Christmas. I’m still working on the Waving Lace socks and am about half way through the foot on the first sock. Unfortunately, my plans of getting the whole sock done in October didn’t work out but I made significant progress. (Also my photo of the Waving Lace socks in the leaves made it up on Lolly’s blog. My sock’s 15-seconds of fame.) Lately, I’m experiencing start-itis and was swatching for the Tweedy Vest but got frustrated with the 8-row rib pattern that I’ve decided to do the same pattern with my own 3×2 rib pattern. I just really want a vest and to use yarn that I already have in my stash.
