Well, hasn't this been another long silence.
Here it is only hours away from August.
The good news: I have started knitting again and have even finished a couple of items!
The promising news: I have become away of a lack of photographs or decent upkeep on the tracking of my yarn stash on Ravelry, and there for in life, and I have a desire to correct this.
The it-could-go-either-way news: I finally ordered my first ever set of blocking mats and blocking wires (and the Knitted Lace of Estonia book, but that was because I was only $5 away from free shipping and it was on sale). So far only the book and the blocks have arrived. The eventual blocking of my first full size lace shawl is still a future thing.
The not-exactly-bad news: I have no idea where I am going to start from to pick back up on the blogging, or really the writing in general. Currently I am undergoing 'blank white page' syndrome. Hey, at least I got this post out, right?
So now I will write up a few teaser points.
1) I am on the third part of a matching three piece set. That is a hat, a scarf and gloves (the gloves are the part I am working on casting on currently).
2) I got some new yarn. Always a bonus!
3) The writing up of patterns is going to happen. Some free, some not. Interested?
4) I will be studying up on and doing some beading work soon. Technically, the project is very much past due, but the technical skills have not been actually acquired yet.
Ok, so that was more than a few points. Not bad for someone working on getting back in the knitting-and-blogging saddle, eh?

Yay for you Girl!!! on all accounts. You are doing better than I am. Just can't seem to get back in blogging mode - but knitting is happening (mostly mindless stuff), and spinning is starting to take up a fair amount of time (after chores, animals, house cleaning, and redoing Rick's office for his homecoming) - wow that doesn't leave much time for fiber work - may have to work on that. :)
