shawl and socks

I haven't blogged in forever, but am still around. My daughter is modeling a shawl that I made. And then I got yarn from a student and made monkey socks.

Just posting a sketch my daughter did for her art class. I like what she is doing!! And she LOVES art!!!

om socks

I had taken a bit of time off from my knitting because of work, a class, kids, etc, but I needed the stress relief. So here is my latest project... my Om socks. They were from the knit a day calendar. I really liked the idea of putting something on the heel flap--- it opens up to so many possibilities.

Where am I???

Hello? Hello? I have barely been posting, since I got my new computer. I don't like to post without pictures, but otherwise, I won't even post.
I am trying to decide what to knit... it needs to be a simple project--as I am in over my head with taking a class, teaching, overcommitting to my kids' school and community things, etc. But I am anxious to start something anyway. Probably socks-- but which ones??? Anyway, I am writing aimlessly, just to let everyone know that I am still out there. (and on my way to the beach for a long weekend!)
