WiP – Seeded Cable Cardigan

You know what makes me sad? The are only 4 photos in my 2009 WiPs set on Flickr. FOUR photos and I haven’t finished one project! In all fairness the first half of this year was insane! However, I’m taking some steps to taking by my time, including saying no sometimes. I’ve been working on the Seeded Cables Cardigan since January according to Ravelry. Not sure when I’ll actually get to wear it down here, but I know it will love it. The back and right front are done, I’m almost done with the left front. So close! I will finish it by the end of August!

I’m back! Now with 20% more flavor!

Ok I’m not sure how back and please don’t lick me to check on the flavor.  I’ve been playing with the idea of blogging again for a while.  I freaking miss it and I miss all my knitting and blogging peeps! When I surrendered to the overload in January I had my day job, was teaching a class at the university and was prepping to teach some workshops. There just was no spare time.  But all that’s over and I took a new job and I moved to Georgia! Georgia! I’ve been here about 2 months and its seems like a good time to reclaim my life.  I still don’t have a lot of time to knit so I’m not sure how much of that you’ll see.

So what have I been up to?  Let’s see.

The new apartment has super low window sills so Simon can keep watching for invading hordes really easily.

Fretting about Oscar – we had to change his meds again and he goes in for a check up next week to see if the new dosage is working. Cross fingers and toes please.

Chilling at the pool – only in the early morning or late evening I’m far too pale for most of the day.

Meeting local knitters

I went to Chicago for a conference

Checking out local attractions – Butterfly gardens! hurray endless photo possibilities

Speaking of photos – I got a new camera! I finally made the leap to an SLR. I’ve signed up for classes at the university but wont start till September. In the meantime I’ll probably be shooting mostly in auto mode.

A couple of updates – Oscar & I’m moving

Hi all I thought I’d share a couple of updates with you.  

As of last week Oscar is responding to his medication and we wont have to go back for a check up for 3 months!  He seems happy and healthy and is completely thrilled to be getting a scoop of soft dog food each morning, as is Simon.  Even he’s not getitng a pill there is no way I could give some to Oscar and not to him, mostly because I’m pretty sure he would hurt me while I sleep

We’d like to thank everyone for everything you’ve done – donations, thoughts and prayers.

In other news – I’m moving! I’ve accepted a new job and I’ll be moving to Georgia in a couple of weeks. Nope not Atlanta, but close!
