Okay, in a rush now because I’m going to a LYS to interview to be a professional knitting teacher in a little while. No pix to post at the moment. Just checking in, since I haven’t posted in about six weeks.

I got busier than I ever imagined possible in NYC. I have friends there that I never called the whole time I was there. I missed the birthday of a friend of 28 years. Desperately need a haircut. My skin’s a mess. Not to mention my body…let’s not go there, though. And now that I’m back, I don’t know what to do first. My apartment is a disaster area. I have mountains of stuff to throw out. So it looks like I’m going to be pretty busy here for awhile.

Have a pair of socks in progress, and a couple of finished handspun skeins, and some socks I made for my late Dad a couple of years ago that I could post pix of. Also the fiber I bought at the Fiber Fest that I promised pix of (cough, cough) weeks ago. And some mohair locks I dyed with Mom, and some rayon I dyed with the idea of making up some cell phone cozy kits. Got pix of two cell phone cozies I made for Mom last year, never put those up either. Jeesh.

Plus I decided I better get cracking on my TKGA Masters. I ordered Level I over a year ago, and read it but didn’t do it. If I’m going to make knitting my livelihood, seems to me I should get that credential once and for all (only been thinking about it for around 15 years). So I ordered an update to Level I. I’m giving myself one month to complete that.

Also started an outline for a knitting book. Two hours, six pages — um, I think I have enough to write about. I’m hoping desperately to get into Cat Bordhi’s Visionary Retreat - Self-Publishing for Knit Designers in January. I only found out about it Sunday from my fellow spinning guild member Janel, who got the last spot! I’m sending my $100 deposit today, even though I know all the spaces are filled, in hopes of getting a high spot on the waiting list. Here’s hoping that either (a) they decide they can fit in one more person, or (b) someone drops out, for a fabulous reason like they’re eloping to Las Vegas that week, or they have to go pick up their lottery winnings and have meetings all week with financial advisors or something. Wish me luck!
