The Lost Blogger Returns!

Ok, so it has indeed been awhile since I've posted. Much has been going in in the Dawley household. Dance recitals for Sam, Alison is really going to town on her trumpet and is currently involved in five (count 'em - 5!) ensembles!

The knitting continues slowly but surely. I have started a few new projects (out of need - really!)
So, what have I been working on? Mostly the green cabled sweater - it's a long term project, but a great project to take with me to Ali's San Diego Youth Symphony rehearsals on Saturdays. We're there from 3pm to 6:15pm now - 2 ensembles: Concert Winds and Jazz Class - so plenty of time to knit. When it actually starts to look like something I'll post a progress picture.

I've also been working working on (gasp) a cross-stitch project. There's a women's tea coming up in May that I've promised a bread cover for (so has Sam for that matter) so I need to get that finished at some point.

What else do I have hiding in my various knitting bags? Searching around it's not as bad as I feared: the green sweater is in one, a new pair of socks begun for more portable knitting - I promise to post a picture soon - oh - and I started a baby sweater that is sitting by my bedside table. I do have a few baby items to knit up. It would also be nice to knit up something gorgeous for the parish gala to auction off. We'll see.

No pretty pictures today. I need to clear out the data cards from my cameras and sort through. I'll try to be more forthcoming... and interesting.

Happy knitting.

Be blessed!
