*Sigh* I got my needles and yarn out for the weightless scarf (mentioned yesterday) and, lo and behold, it calls for circulars, not straights. So at some point this week I have to go across town to my lys and pick up some circular size 15 needles. I guess this is going to be a Christmas present instead of a birthday present. With S. out of town this week I had planned on getting the house really, really clean for once. But now it looks as though I'll be working late nearly every night this week, so I have to decide which is more important - relaxing with a good book and/or some knitting, or cleaning the house. Ugh. Well, at any rate, I can pick up the needles when I go across town to have dinner with the 'rents. That way I only have to make the drive once. Whether I actually use the needles this week is another story. I'll keep you posted.

OK, so I've changed the theme of my blog. It's now just sort of about my life in general. There will still be posts about genealogy research, but also about work, life, books and knitting. Maybe blogging will stick this time. Who knows, but it's worth a try.

I started knitting back in, hmm, I don't know - June? My coworker and friend, V., taught me how. I'm still only a novice, but so far I've done a couple of afghan squares, a scarf and a half, one fingerless glove (I wasn't totally happy with it, so I don't know if I want to make the second one or start over the first with a different pattern), and ten flowers for V.'s bridal shower. I got the pattern for these from Blue Bell Knitting Guild. Thanks! They were a big hit!


My next project is going to be a Weightless Shawl from Mason Dixon Knitting for my friend P.'s birthday. I'll post some pics once I get it started.
