Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

I’m the last person in the world to be talking about balance in life. I’m sure that in the end it will all balance out, but for now full speed ahead! I did, however, bring some balance to my knitting life while in Edmonton.  I have Marina going very well on teensy weensy needles, and to compensate I am knitting Sirdar denim ultra on huge fat drumsticks. It takes about the same amount of time to knit the entire back of the Sirdar cardigan as it does for eight rows of Marina (the colours look pretty accurate):

As for balance, my dream was to work half time. I figured by the time you were tired of home life it was time to go to work and vice versa. I’m feeling balanced right about now in that I’ve had a week of vacation and I’m ready for work. That will probably change once I hit the office.

And finally, the graduate:
