Blogging?

Well, I've never done this before, but if you're not learning new things you might as well just give up. I'm not quite old enough for social security and I work full time. I have 2 grown children, a girl and a boy, and my daughter is expecting her first child in April.

I started knitting about a year and a half ago, but it took me a while to really get going. The past few months, I've finished up a couple of projects that sat around for nearly a year and I'm very happy with the way they've come out. Right now, I'm working on a sweater for my daughter. I don't plan on making anything for the baby until we know the sex (December), and then I'll make something for next fall.

I commute about two and a half hours each day to and from work. I've pretty much given up cooking during the week, but do try to cook on the week-end. I try to knit a little each evening for relaxation. I had a day alone last Sunday, and spent most of the afternoon knitting my daughter's sweater. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, I realized I had made a mistake about 6 rows up and spent 3 nights this week unknitting. In the past year, I've come to realize that if I'm going to knit, I'll probably have to unknit. I've come to grips with it.

So I have a jewelry party to go to this afternoon and I'm looking forward to it, because I am a jewelry junkie.
