Happy Birthday to Me!

    Welcome to my new blog; my birthday present to me.

    Here's the requisite cat picture. That's Ocicats Winnie (short for Windwalker) and Talitha.

   My knitting took a time out for about a year and a half while I took some courses both for what I do and what I want to do. Mainly I learned whatever I do, it must include knitting.

   So, I jumped back in both feet first. Stashes and WIPs (lots of WIPs) have been sorted, papers filed (why does knitting generate so much paper?), and 2 1/2-year-old first socks finished.

   This blog continues the momentum from the two quarters of Nonfiction Writing I just finished. My instructor writes a blog - cancer not knitting, though she does knit - and encouraged me when I asked about blogging. I promise not to hold it against her when the photos won't post or trolls show up.

   These are the projects currently at the front of the queue. I'll talk more about them later.

Thanks for the comments and birthday wishes everyone.
Heidi, have I mentioned it took me two and a half years to finish the first pair of socks, including the year and a half I was taking all those classes and not knitting? Kind of equivalent to your kitchen remodel schedule.
I have made a resolution that knitting will come first from now on. We'll talk when I'm down there next month.
