is it the 21st already?!
craziness!
Well, all, it's been quite the month. My "holiday" busyness didn't really come to a stop until a week ago (.mp3s of AAPC may be purchased
here-- always worth it, especially the Jordan lecture and Vespers service!-- and .mp3s of the Wilsons's time with IPC are freely available
here), and since then I seem to have been wrestling with a case of what Nancy Wilson calls the
January Blahs. I must say, it was a relief to read that and discover I'm not the only one suffering from a severe lack of motivation. It seems the only things I've felt like doing lately are reading (I devoured
a Terry Pratchett novel in under 24 hours, finally finished
The Baptized Body, and am about to start on the above, a Christmas gift from my suitor) and knitting.
Yes, seriously. Knitting. I saw another of
Kiersten's amazing Fair Isle creations and thought (for the thousandth time) "Oh, I wish I could knit!" Later when I sat down to watch a movie, I needed something to occupy my hands and thought, "C'mon, give it another try. After all, it is Kiersten's birthday. What better time to start?" This is what I've got so far:
Half of what will become a purse/backpack/knapsack sort of thing. I'm fairly pleased. Though if I don't get a turn in the laundry room soon, I'm going to have to start knitting new clothes...

You can do it!
As always, the Nancy Wilson post was spot on. Thanks for linking! It really is good to know I'm not the only one (except I haven't even felt like reading...I've just been watching a lot of America's Next Top Model...I am so ashamed ;))
See ya 'round :)
WAHOOTY!!!! Go, Tawni!!!! Ok...do not pass go, do not collect $200...go to ravelry.com and get ont he waiting list to be a beta tester. You will not regret it. Well, you might if it puts off the laundry, which it might, but give it a go, anyway!
Yes, get the laundry done, and get your lovely green scarf done and take pictures so you have what you need to post an FO in your notebook when you get on! And don't forget to let me know when you're on so I can "friend" you (how 2nd grade does THAT sound???)...I'm "Kirky" in Ravelry Land.
Way to go!! I just learned to knit (and purl!) after church on Sunday... haven't made that much progress, though.
Actually, that song is usually sung by a bass or an alto. However, my Messiah score includes lots of transpositions and alternate versions for the solos.
What did you think of "Baptized Body"???? I really enjoyed it!
