she's alive!

Still here, in one form or another. I haven't blogged much here lately, mainly just because I haven't knit much. It's been a whirlwind month or so, what with selling our house, packing everything for Albuquerque, staying at my in-laws', seeing Todd & Silas off (they left Wednesday and arrived there today-- T starts his new job on Monday, which also happens to be my birthday, and Silas starts first grade on the 10th!) Vivienne and I will be here for another five weeks until my employer will let me transfer. Then we'll be Albuquerqians! I wonder if that's what they are called?

Anyway, I am still plugging away here & there on Crumpets, but my mind is straying to other things. I have given up on Cleo for my sister since I ran out of yarn, and I bought it over a year ago. The color no longer seems to exist. I'd love to knit this halter for her instead, but she has yet to decide. Why is that model making such a ridiculous face? It looks like someone just gave her a kick in the arse.
I also want to knit this lovely scarf from Rowan's Ribbon Twist collection, in this new colorway, which is soooo dreamy. I mean black merino! with pink ribbon!! Could I love it any more?
I also must knit myself this cardigan, eventually. I won't need it in Albuquerque until December, but nonetheless.

I've journaled at length about this big move on my regular journal, but most of the posts are locked and therefore not viewable. I just can't keep up with two blogs/ journals. I suppose eventually I should just consolidate.
I'll leave you with this, though. Silas (my boy) and Blair, who have met once at 21 months but were born five hours apart and if they are anything like their mothers, are destined to be friends for life and as close as twin brothers.
