Well, hi there!
In welcoming 2012, I am pleased to bid a fond "screw you" to the year that was 2011. In the absence of closure, I instead have chosen to make peace with where I stand in early 2012. Things are GREAT, most notably:
- I have grown up and taken a day job. While not full time, it puts me into the work world more days than not (a 60% position largely fulfilled over 5 mornings and one afternoon per week). I am busy and interacting with people and, most importantly, necessary.
- I am approaching my continued physical recovery as aggressively as I possibly can, with all the boot camp and yoga classes (5-10 hours per week, people!) I can cram in between work and kid commitments.
- I am knitting like a madwoman, doing sample, test, and design work for a lot of others. A highlight:

Much more to come, including a book review, a giveaway and some more design work news. Happy New Year!
Oh, please do find a space in between those hours for the occasional blog post!
I have to report the sad, sad news that my lovely Barhnill-designed Azure socks have reached the double darn stage (i.e. where they have been darned once already and now require the double darn.) and that is where I draw the line. I'm thinking baby legwarmers. :)
