You know the expression “S#*t happens!”? I prefer to think of it as “Life happens” because all the things, people and happenings that can derail your carefully laid plans aren’t bad, just disruptive. However, either way you choose to look at it there is no getting around the fact that it’s true. I had no intention of disappearing from the online world or even taking an extended break, but as often happens my plans and reality didn’t match up. I could offer you pages of explanations and apologies for my absence, but I won’t. First of all, it’s pretty boring stuff (family responsibilities, health, household chores, etc..) and you have better things to with your time. Second, I’m not really sorry. I’m sad, I missed you all and I feel bad for letting my readers down, but I’d have to make the same choices if I could go back in time. I love blogging, knitting and my online friends but we all have to make choices and set priorities and sometimes I have to put other things first. Plus this is supposed to be a knitting blog, not a woe is me blog.
So if anyone is actually still out there reading, let’s just move on. Ok?
I’ll do my best to get back into a blogging routine and to producing some new patterns and knitting to share with you. You forgive me and read, or don’t. Obviously your choice.
Speaking of new stuff, I’ll have a new fingerless mitt pattern, Axis, at a special into price for you in the next couple days. Here’s a peek at Axis.
If you’d like to see me, or the new pattern, in person. I’ll be teaching and working in the Blue Moon Fiber Arts booth at Madrona next week. I hope to see some of you there.
Welcome back so glad that you have able to rejoin us, I missed you and kept checking in the hopes you would return and that all was well. Looking forward to hearing more "knitting tales"

Hey :) Still here, happy to see you. Life does happen, and you don't need to apologize for having one!! Nice mitts, and take it easy on yourself!

So happy that you are back! It's not easy sustaining a blog, so it's good to take a break like that. In the meantime, I was happily knitting my version of Marmoreal. Such a great sweater pattern! It's almost done, and then I'll be able to post pics on Rav.
