The last few days have been dark wet and fairly warm even though the calendar says January. But while derry weather normally inspires me only to nap, I have been feeling the knitting bug again. Most of this winter so far the needles have been down and what little knitting have have done has been disastrous – thus the quiet blog. I am not sure why I can’t share my mishaps and failures like other braver blogers. But maybe with this new year and the hopeful feelings that always come with it I will be a better blogger. I promise that there are several big things on the horizon this year so check back every once in a while to see what is going on.
