I am glad to see that all three of us knitketeers are active on the blog.  I haven't knit a bit since my last posting, though I have carried my tote bag around with me...wishing I could JSB (good call, Sara).  Barb, I am very sad about your hand...it looks puffy and painful.  I have been trying to remember to breathe deeply and not go into full panic mode.  I have barely been home, except to sleep, have seen my child for minutes in the morning and evening, trying to make it quality, but really rushing around to get things done.

Work has been insane...in a wonderful, terribly sad and rewarding way.  I have the best job in the world I think and I am literally privy to information about some of the most devastating acts that one human being can exact on another (the other being children) and I get to interact with some of the most giving, loving, incredibly inspiring people I have ever met who volunteer to help these children and advocate for their well being.

I have a confession to make...I am hesitant to start my next project.  I have the yarn(3 skeins of Cascade 220 in different, rich colors) to make myself a felted bag (the messenger bag from Stitch n Bitch Nation) and I feel somewhat intimidated and overwhelmed by the prospect.  I am making it for myself , which is something I rarely do, and I want it to be special and I want to like it. 

I really like typing and using this punctuation...because it feels like conversation to me...you know?  Barb, what is this...called?  I also love parentheses (they are like thoughts in the middle of a sentence).

I am drinking licorice tea and thinking that I should go to bed, but  I going to sit on the couch and turn on a movie, pick up some yarn and play for awhile before I slumber.
