Kittens, it’s hard to believe it is that time of the month again. Where did May go?!

May was another respectable month yardage wise…despite hot, sticky weather, a love affair with spinning, and starting a cross-stitch to occupy my time, I stayed over 1,000 yards for the fourth month in a row.  I’m batting 4/5 for 2013!  (I find it impressive, anyway.)  I’m hoping I can keep up the momentum for June: I plan to finish my Pomme de Pin and Color Affection,  knit 1-2 more skeins on my blanket, and get a good start on my husband’s long languishing socks.  Should be a busy one!

Sorry for being a day late, kittens.  Yesterday was rainy and overcast, and my four year old managed to contract pink eye.  I spent most of yesterday at the doctor and running around doing related errands.  Fun times.

Sorry it’s up a day late, kittens.  Life happens and all that jazz.

My week was pretty quiet.  I’m still chugging away at compressing all of the old KaP episodes and need to track down the first 6.  They’re hiding on an external hard drive.

Come say hello in the Knot a Podcast Ravelry group!
