It's Been a While

After a year and a half, I've managed to get my butt over here and update! 

I stayed on the farm until mid-April of 2013. I made my way up to Canada, with a boy who I'd met back home and had come to visit me, where I was proposed to! (Eeeee!) And then back home I went. 

I did however, in the days before I left the farm, learn how to dye a skein of yarn with koolaid...

 ...And shear an angora rabbit.

Once we returned home, I fell back into the busy routine of work. I have since managed to publish 2 designs.

DA Legwarmers 

But more than anything I've been busy with an amazing thing called "family". 

These photos will explain it all!

So naturally, I spent the majority of my knitting time while pregnant knitting things for my son! 

I managed to spin some yarn for a blanket I knit him:

Three and a half months after his birth, we got married! And of course I had to knit myself a wedding shawl. It's originally the Rock Island Shawl by Jared Flood, but as I always do, I had to make my own changes.  I added beads to the bottom border and continued the lace for several more repeats.

So there's good reason I haven't managed to update this in a while! Now that I'm not planning a wedding and have settled into motherhood a bit, I'm hoping to get some unpublished designs out and perhaps design some more.

Happy knitting!
