Time flies...

I can't believe that it's been nearly a full year since my last post. Things sure have changed here at Casa Purlshmurl (including the casa). Since my last posting I have (in no particular order:

  • I bought and moved into a new condo - I am now a fully, fledged adult with a mortgage and everything
  • started and completed a few smaller projects (a fake-isle hat, another odessa hat, a so-called scarf, a one-skein wonder shrug for my goddaughter, a cabled hat of my own design, and a diagonal stripe purse
  • made little progress on some larger knitting projects (my birch shawl, my boatneck sweater in Katia Jamaica)
  • knit a few socks. Notice I didn't mention anything about pairs. Second sock syndrome is alive and well.
  • became afflicted with a new addiction - Socks that Rock. I cannot wait until the first shipment of the 2007 Rockin Sock Club arrives.

Here are some of the things that I am currently working on (that need to be finished ASAP as they were destined to be gifts).
