Nope, I didn&#39;t drop off the face of the earth, nor did I decide to stop knitting--I moved! In mid-March, B and I received notice that our rental was being sold, so we needed to vacate. The past two months have been at times frustrating, exhausting, overwhelming, expensive, and life changing. Did I mention they&#39;ve also been wonderful? Because...</p> <p>...we&#39;re in our very own house! Yes, we bought a house and moved at the beginning of the month, and that&#39;s why I haven&#39;t been knitting. In fact, if anyone had suggested I knit something during early spring, I would have probably burst into tears, that&#39;s how hard things were. But now...</p> <p>...we&#39;re in our very own house! </p> <p>Oh, I mentioned that already, did I? My knitting is still safely packed away in a rather large box (I fit it into one!) in the garage, just waiting for a place to call home. I&#39;ve scouted out a potential location to set up my very own knitting corner in our house, but I&#39;m waiting for a good chair/sofa, yet unpurchased. I also have a great spot in a closet for all my stash and doo-dads that need storing. </p> <p>But in the meantime, I need to finish unpacking, paint a room, plant a garden, continue to work, buy a chair/sofa, and sometimes even sleep. </p> <p>I haven&#39;t yet taken a picture of a great antique store find--it&#39;s a wooden sewing stand with a handle on top. It&#39;s really cool and will hold my WIPs. I also know after I get going again, I&#39;d like to consider a few projects for the summer: one of these <a href="http://www.horse-tack-and-equestrian-clothing.com/fly-masks-fringes-crocheted-cotton-fly-veil-prod1693.html?hrsid=75613f277f16f9ecc24d8c052f665426">goofy looking fly masks</a>, good for riding my horse during pesky fly season; there&#39;s a super cool messenger bag made out of twine/string&#160;I spotted while browsing knitting books at Barnes &amp; Noble, it&#39;s in <a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780307347190">Erika Knight&#39;s Classic Knits: 15 Timeless Designs to Knit and Keep Forever</a>; and I&#39;m also interested in socks--whether I need&#160;to purchase a loom or needles (yikes! I said needles! didn&#39;t mean it, really!), I&#39;m not 100%&#160;certain yet. </p> <p>Someday soon I know I&#39;ll be knitting again. Wish me luck with unpacking and finding that perfect knitting nook!&#160;</p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://knifty.vox.com/library/post/long-time-no-knit.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00cdf7f1a4b9094f00cd972a65c94cd5?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> moving messenger bag socks knitting fly mask
