OMG...I just found my old blog!  Talk about time slipping away.  Since I started my blog my most wonderful fan and mentor, my Mother, has passed away.  My son has gifted me with two grandsons.  My life has been turned totally upside down and my knitting has (sadly) taken a back seat to the rest of my life.

I have tons of yarn, needles, a knitting machine or four, two spinning wheels, a floor loom, spindles out the wazoo, four sewing machines, all the material and patterns you could ask for, a serger, enough crafting books to open my own library,  and numerous other craft supplies that I don't have time to use anymore.

I hadn't touched my knitting needles for several months until a very good friend was diagnosed with cancer.  I picked up my needles and my most favorite house boot pattern and made a pair of boots that I hope will warm not only his feet but his heart as well.  This is what my knitting is about.  It's knitting for the love of knitting and for the person who will receive that love in the form of warm boots, shawls, sweaters, etc...  

Well, I will get back to my fiber loves full time one of these days.  My precious family is the number one love of my life with my friends coming in at a very close second.  Maybe my next post won't take five years to write.  :)
