I can’t believe how long it has been since I have posted on my blog. Well, there’s one specific reason why I’ve sort of abandoned my blog: I did not finish these Pomatomus socks until today, and was too embarrassed to write! It took forever, but now they are off of my needles (yes!). They were quite fun to knit, but honestly, I lost a bit of interest after the first sock.
On a non-knitting note, I have stepped up in my crafting. For Christmas, my parents bought me a sewing machine! I’ve always liked sewing, but my first experience with a machine was quite bad. My first machine was from the 60s era, and it was already in bad shape! Now that I have the new one, sewing has taken up much more time than knitting. I’ve already made a fleece quillow set for my sister’s birthday, altered curtains for my mom, and made many pillows for everyone. I’m in a rut of what to do next, but hopefully I’ll get to share something soon.
In addition, so many big things have happened since my last post. I’ve been accepted to Virginia Commonwealth University, and also I am nearing the end of my journey to making my Confirmation (church thing)! Everything seems to be coming together. As a plus, VCU has a knitting group and a beautiful LYS within walking distance!
I hope that everyone has had a wonderful Sunday!
