I'm not dead, I promise

Man, what a downer of a post to leave my blog on for months and months!

 I don't feel like doing a full 2012 goals recap, but suffice to say that I've actually started my Etsy shop now, so my days are filled with more knitting than I'd ever imagined they would be! Nothing much to show for it yet, as far as being in the shop--like with everything, I'm great at being motivated to start new things, and rubbish at actually seeing them through to the end. Getting stuck at 96% for weeks because I can't bring myself to do an hour of finishing work is the story of my life lately. Alas.

I'm really tired now, but I thought I'd at least post some photos I took of a knitting project I just finished. Bulky yarn was on sale at Jo-Ann's, so I bought some fun colors and decided to try it out. It knitted up so dang quick, and the yarn is really soft and snuggly. Makes me want to go back (if only I had money) and buy a whole bunch to make a double-knitted blanket out of.

Anyway, this is the pattern I used.
And here's my pattern page with my notes.


The hat is a design I may one day get in pattern form to put in my shop--I'm thinking of doing a pattern pack with various modifications I've had ideas for. Anyway, I've been wearing it a lot recently because it's comfy and great for hiding my bedhead.
