I'm still here!

Yes, I'm still here. The past few weeks have been - interesting. I've been stressed, I've been sick, I've pared back drastically on all non-essential activities. Things are getting better but sometimes it seems like one forward, two back (and no, that's not a stitch pattern). So. Not much blogging, but like I said, starting to get a handle on life again.

In the meantime, I have been knitting - one of those things that keeps me sane (or as close to it as I ever get, right?). Dad's cardigan has a back, two pockets, and one front panel. And buttons - I bought buttons and he likes them. Woohoo! My purple-globe sock #2 is about 2" away from turning the heel. My chunky sock #2 is about 2" down the foot (so, about 3" to go to the toe, give or take). N8an's slippers are 1 down, 1 being cast on tonight. And the surprise was finished today. (Thank heavens, because I was starting to worry I wouldn't finish it in time - but I did. Yay!) My Manitoulin Moose Scarf is waiting still, but I'll probably start that soon. I do need some mindless-knitting for the start of the playoffs on the weekend too... time to check the list for a suitable project. Maybe a spring shawl for me.

No pictures of ANYTHING though, because the blasted camera has dead batteries - again. Stupid dead batteries. I'll buy some on payday and will post pictures, I promise!

So yes, I'm still here, still going along but not quite optimal performance. All I can say is thank heavens for the knitting - honestly, it really does relieve stress and make me feel useful and productive when everything else is buggered up.

To paraphrase John Bingham, "knit on, friends..."
