Back to work blues...

I have spent this week soaking up the last few days of my summer. As an administrator, school starts back for me- did it really end this year?-next week. Don't get me wrong - I love, LOVE my job. I can't imagine doing anything else but I certainly have enjoyed the more leisurely pace of the last 10 days. No "June, July, and August" vacation for educators any more!

Mindless reading, time at the pool, a little back to school shopping and knitting. My latest discovery is the beauty of Noro Kureyon yarn - I am working on the Lizard Ridge afghan. The colorways are just yummy - no one but a knitter would understand! I've dabbled with some small lace projects but am about to dive into my first big one. As I looked through my new copy of A Gathering of Lace, I couldn't help but be inspired. I am going to tackle the Beginner's Triangle shawl. I am going to work with Classic Elite "Miracle" in a rich, rust/coppery color. Maybe I can stick with it and have it completed by the time cool weather arrives. Glad I live in Georgia where it's warm 'til Halloween! :)

And away we go....

Welcome to my blog. I have lived on the edge of the blogging community for a while and decided to jump in. I look forward to having a place to collect my thoughts, reflect occasionally - maybe there will be a witty remark or two along the way!
