I didn't mean to not blog.
It's just that I've dyed 95 skeins of sock yarn during the last few days, added several paragraphs and revisions to the book manuscript, and generally kept things flowing smoothly around here.
Also, and I can't for the life of me remember if I've told you, but I started a new job a couple of weeks ago. Basically rearragend my life a little so I would have more time to dedicate to the knitting book I'm writing. So far it is working out beautifully, with the added bonus that my new boss is a knitter and a spinner and a weaver. We make healthy food from total scratch together AND I can talk knitting while we cook! How cool is that.
Tomorrow, I am headed up to Saratoga Springs to visit with a local yarn shop owner who is interested in looking at my sock yarn.
I'll talk to you when I get back. Meanwhile, check this out!
