Knitting!
Oh my. I thought that by now I was going to be blogging more, but now that Eamon is walking I seem to have even less time. Sigh.
In January I started working for my cousin part time, and I once again have a commute. Having a commute was one reason I started knitting in earnest to begin with, and now I have that time again. Not a lot, but it is something. And I am knitting.
I recently participated in a Mother's Day swap with a group of other mothers on Ravelry. We were to make one accessory type thing for our partner, and also include something yarny and yummy. I was waylaid in starting - to be honest, I got really obsessed with a baby blanket that I am making for a friend, and then I got very busy with a project I was doing in Philadelphia.
I ended up making my partner a scarf. It is lacy and thin; she had said that she liked skinny scarves so this was an excuse to make one.
Amazingly, and maybe this is because I now have a child, I never managed to memorize this pattern, even though it was pretty simple. I like how it looks though.
And here's hoping that I get on here and blog more.

Oh wow, it turned out beautifully. What a lucky swap partner!
Nice to see and read you again.
I am a lucky swap partner. I love my scarf!! Since it's *still* rainy and cool here, I've even gotten a few chances to wear it. Thank you again!
p.s. I am making a little bolero (Watershed) with a lace edge and now that it's nearly finished, I almost have the lace motif memorized. Almost. I think Emmet absorbed the pattern-memorizing part of my brain while in utero.
