Stitch Witch

I know, it’s been EONS since I last posted, and for that I am ever so greatly apologetic!  The past month or so has been a whirlwind of mindbending proportions, and me doing this blog alone, kind of really slacked on getting back to post on a regular basis.  I’ve even been chastised by the Today.com powers that be for my lack of quality or quantity…not really sure because they were kind of vague in their notification.  C’est La Vie.

Anywhooooooooo, this witch has been busy doing a number of things such as:

• Gallbladder removal surgery 10 days before Christmas
• Son home from college for a month…I MISS HIM SO MUCH!!
• Spending precious time with husband while he was home over holidays
• Daughter having scholastic issues
• Working, working, working….where they pay actual money for writing!!
• Knitting and crocheting hats and scarves for the grab bag special and for others

I failed miserably on the first shot at a hat for my beloved.  Poor guy looks like the Rasta Jelly Fish in A Shark’s Tale with that hat on.  MY BAD!!!  But, because he really does love me, he is wearing it just the same.  At least it’s so big it’s keeping his head warm!!

We will NOT mention to him that his picture is here….hopefully by the time he reads this he will have a better fitting chapeau!

Yeah…..so…………..then I made hats for my son, and for his roommate Artie who, upon receipt, named his hat.  I guess it’s a college thing?  I’ll let you know the name someday when I remember it.  I made two gorgeous (in my humblest of opinions) scarves and one lacy crocheted hat for my beloved and ever so patient Grab Bag customers.

And my big goal (only goal for 2009 as far as knitting is concerned) is to learn to knit properly.  So, with my Barnes & Noble gift card, I bought a nifty lil DVD called

The Art Of Knitting (Leisure Arts #107454)

… YES I need it!!

Keep in mind that I am a self-taught knitter, and I know for certain that there must be a better way to go about this craft. So, the only way for me to learn is to watch others. 

So, kids, for today (I think), that’s about it.  I’m still twirling ideas around in my cranial cap as to the state of my beloved blog here.  But for now, just know that I haven’t quite flown the coop just yet!
