still here

I really am.

It has just been so busy I haven't even been doing that much knitting. Other than for my socks ... which my sock pal will be getting out of KOIGU!!!

I am down more weight. I am still doing first thing in the morning. EARLY.

And work has been ultra hectic. I am hoping that a pattern will be established soon which will lead to a bit more free time.

One can always hope right?

Next time I post I will have pictures of sock progress.
