I was informed by a friend that he missed my blogging about fiber-y stuff.  So this is for him.  (You know who you are.  I expect a comment if you want me to keep it up!)  I have been twittering, but I tend to keep my feed there locked - I know internet privacy is a fairly non-existent thing, but I still like to go for the appearance of it.  I do miss keeping up with my blog, but honestly the amount of things I have to keep up with in day-to-day life is almost too much for me.  Something had to suffer, and I’d prefer it *not* to be the feeding/clothing/cleaning/etc of my family since I do in fact have to live with them. 

Anyway.  That’s not an apology.  I promised myself I wouldn’t do that.  Just an explanation.

I’ve been knitting.  Lots.  It helps keep me sane.  I’ve had to just sit a few times, and the amount of twitchy and anxious I get is almost unbearable.  But I want to get back to that knitting in a few (accompanied, I hardly need say, with watching of the Doctor and his various adventures.  Though, I do hear Top Gear is on Netflix instant watch now…I need to see more of that show.) 

I find it fairly apropos that the project I’m working on now is an abandoned one I blogged about back in the summer of 2007.  Mostly because that’s when I started it.  I even took a new picture today.  I’ve finished a whole chart this week.  There are four more charts left to go.  Then the blocking, if I ever get around to it.  I’ve got no less than two lace projects lying around the house, finished save for blocking.  One is even an epic, for me: a Herbert Niebling that will one day be stretched onto a vintage parasol frame. 

Ok, I’m done rambling.  Well, not done, I could probably type up a novel here, but it would be disjointed and tedious.  So I’ll end with that picture I took today of MS3/Swan Lake.  I’m going to keep the specs on Ravelry, it’s just easier that way, and anyone who would really care about them will have a Rav account anyway.

Oh, and just cause it’s too cute not to mention, MissV turned 4 last week.  No uber-special cake to post this year, but my good friend K made a shirt for her.  Anyone who knows me or her, knows that she loves Star Wars.  And the kid has taste - she only wants to watch episodes 4, 5, and 6.  And she *adores* Darth Vader.  There’s a little snap on cape on the back, but the majority of the pictures were very blurry.  I dare you to take a clear picture of an excited and wiggly small child without the use of an SLR.
