... at least if you are not a Barbie.

So it has been two years today since I began blogging. The archives now include all my old Blogger entries, right back to the very first one.

Blogging has gone a long way to making me a less isolated knitter. I now have real friends and virtual friends that I never imagined I would have. I hope to meet many of you at Rhinebeck in only 16 more sleeps (!). Thanks for visiting and I hope you keep coming back.

I wish I had a photo of recent knitting progress, or recent anything, but I don't. So I will leave you with an almost seasonal picture of pumpkin pi.

My blog was down for a week. Did you miss me?

After those last few posts I'm sure you'll forgive the postless days that followed. But it does mean that I am still nearly a month behind in my blogging. So hang on, because I intend to get completely caught up before I hit Publish on this one. But keep reading and you get a free pattern!

I arrived home from Nova Scotia Sunday afternoon. Monday was a blur of errand-running and packing that extended into the wee hours of Tuesday morning. After a few hours of sleep for me and none for my son it was off to the airport to bid him a tearful farewell as he set out westward, on his way to China for a couple of years. It was only after returning from the airport that I saw the note he had left on the whiteboard. (Unrelated drawing by younger sister.)

In lieu of words I give you a link.
