The mystique of the steek...
So I spent my day steeking my fair isle cardigan. I. Swear. To. God. I thought I'd have a heart attack when we started cutting. 
But miracle of miracles, it worked!!! And I started working on the button band... 
Here's a sneak peak at the fun twist inside of the button band... 
Obviously the other edge is still a WIP... 
but it should be done tomorrow! Yay me!
And here is a pic of my finally completed Jim Jones Kool-Aid sweater... 
Here's a close up of the ribbing... I love it! 
Take a look at the cool loot that my SP sent!! Love the dog paper! Love the needles! Love it all! 
And finally... The best Christmas gift--Mr. Wonderful found me the gift of all gifts!!! 
Some lovely weinerdog bling. Who knew such an item existed?? Leave it to him to locate it and wrap it up for me!!! What a keeper!

holy hiatus...
Greetings, all. I am finally ready to reenter the land of blog, after a month and a half hiatus. Wow. Time somehow managed to get away from me. But, I am back. And life looks a little different.
I'm not yet divorced. Thought this would happen by August, but it is a little more difficult to deal with rat bastard than it was when I was married to him. I can't wait for things to become final, because I am so ready to close this chapter and move on with my life. Because...
I'm in love. Like for real. It has been 2 months since I've met this man, and he has yet to upset me. He is respectful of me, kind, giving, and just perfect. He has 3 beautiful daughters, and is the best dad I've ever seen. I can't believe what he and his family add to my life.
As far as knitting... Still plugging away on my fair isle. Had a setback-- a little bit of a miscommunication led me to doing the wrong thing and having to rip back, but I am now working on the collar, so I'm in the home stretch. More later...
I've been making the world's ugliest slippers for the girls--my mom used to make them for me when I was a kid, and now the tradition continues. 
Working on some wrist warmers in Noro Silk Garden, but I'm not sure how I feel about the colorway. May still rip them out...
Finally we are out for Christmas break. I can actually breathe.
