Progress

Well that was quite a long and unintended silence!  Where to begin?  Ah, well, since this IS still a knitting blog…on with the knitting!  I have been focused on Vivian (per one of the New Year’s Resolutions I have yet to share with you) which has produced significant progress. Funny, that.  If you work on something it actually gets done?!?  As you can see, the sleeves are attached and am a few rows into the yoke decreases.  I am on the 17th skein of Sulka and fear I need several more.  I’d like to get some more done on my upcoming trip to AZ but I’m not sure I want to haul this around.  Socks travel far easier  but if I take it I might actually have chance to wear it this season.  I’ll give that some more thought when I begin packing later today.

Just in case you wondered about the marathon in Jaunary, it was a success.  My dad finished in under 4 hours to qualify for the Boston Marathon at age 60.  YAY!  It was a little bit difficult to be around all of that and not be able to participate but the excitement of my father running made it much easier.  Phoenix and P.F. Changs put on a great event with the RNR series.  For being the largest one day marathon event in the WORLD (including 1/2 marathon participants) it was surprisingly well run.  It would seem that any event that big might have some problems, but at least on the surface and from our perspective, everything went very smoothly.
