What? December? Already? No..........

GEEZ, i really STINK at keeping up with posting...  it's just been so dang bizzzzzzy, and now... when i take a minute to sit down and catch my breath... it's DECEMBER!  December!!  how did that happen?  the last time i blogged, it was nearing the date of my highly anticipated vacation - two weeks with friends back at the Dinky Soleil cottage in Upstate NY... when the vacation date arrived, it coincided perfectly with my coming down with a case of bronchitis.  lucky or what!  despite the concern voiced by my doctor - suggesting i not make the trip due to the long flight... i headed for the lake... and remained bundled up in blankets on the porch swing... knitting a pretty Kim Hargreaves pattern, while gazing a the lake... and watching my friends jump in it!  not the best vacation -- but still, not so bad, given the gifts of sharing time with good friends, enjoying wonderful food, and most of all - doing a whole lotta nothing - except KNITTING!  :::happy knitter girl:::

once back on home ground, work immediately got the upper hand and consumed the majority of my time and space... and although i've made several yarn purchases and cast on a number of projects... i've yet to finish up anything substantial... and i don't consider the 'fetching' fingerless gloves (that i knit to wear at work - as i am always chilly from the cold air that blows from the air vents above my cube-away-from-home) a 'substantial' item.  so, as i sit here and type these words, i glance around the room to see that i'm surrounded by stacks of pattern books and knitting magz n' bags of yarn every which way i look.  hmmmmmmm, do i sense an addiction??

well, with a stroke of luck, time will allow for some peace n' quiet knitting time, despite the hectic days of holiday shopping and preparation that are beginning to get underway... it sure would be nice- to have some FO's (maybe even a few worth gifting to friends this season)  among the numerous WIP's that are on the needles.  one can only hope :)
