Hanging In

My "missing in action" status from blogging is a direct result of missing work. I was bitten by a bug that threw me of course. If nothing else, being at home forces the issue of eating at home -- provided I have the stomach for it.

Over the weekend, I further reduced my stash by returning yarn that lacked a project to Yarn Central and applied that towards something I needed: a pretty knitting bag. I had my eye on this bag since it arrived in the store several months ago. Saturday, it came home with me, but I have yet to carry it anywhere.

Slow progress continues on the Karabella Aurora Raglan Cap-Sleeves Top, and Bella is missing in action. Just as well. I do not have the stamina for controlling three balls of yarn at the moment.

While it is mostly quiet on the knitting front, I am proud to announce that after ten months, I finished The Story of B. Much like The Celestine Prophecy, this is fiction with a real world message. My intention to return to Lee Miller: A Life was derailed by a friend lending me Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight.

After a few bad experiences, I no longer lend my books to others, thus I feel compelled to read and return -- in the very condition in which it was lent to me -- the book as quickly as possible. I started the Lee Miller bio last December. It is so densely written that I could only read a few pages at a time, but I am committed to finishing it before the Vernal Equinox. At which point, I will resume knitting CeCe.
