Round Up

I read so many more blogs than I could even begin to list in my Blogroll. The list of internet talent grows infinitely every day (not to mention the fact that my house is still not completely in order here). But it’s been a while since I’ve had the opportunity to go through all of my favorites — numbering in the 100’s, of course, but I’ve narrowed things down to news and projects that excited me the most.

The Things We Try to Hide

Out of common courtesy, we’ll all pretend that this is it. We will not talk about the desk next to the WIP’s. We will not talk about the fact that it is covered for a reason. We will not discuss how many more bags are beneath it. We will not contemplate the fact that my cat has a better idea of the mounds and piles of unfinished dreams. It takes some time to face all of this.

But, in fairness, I have pulled out some of my oldest WIP’s so that I can contemplate their unfinished loops. They have my best yarn, my best needles and, quite possibly, some of the best hours of my life.
