Back in Business

I know. It was an unexcuable absence, even though I have plenty of good excuses. I simply had too much going on. My parents were in town, and I had a lot of work going on at my apartment (which is now fabulous) and worked a bit of overtime, too.

But now, I'm sitting in a comfy new chair about to go to sleep. And I actually just got through another row of Zauberflote, not to mention the couple inches I got through on a Koigu scarf that's on the proverbial back burner. And after so much time away from the wool, I have to say, it's really nice to knit again. At this point, the only challenge is that the new chair isn't exactly configured for knitting. At least not the way I knit. I probably just have to move my Ottlite to the other side of the chair but I was too lazy to get up and do that this evening. I imagine that I will one of these days. The chair also provides a slightly different angle of lap-creation, which means that there is, apparantly, less lap in which for Zauberflote to rest. And since she's continually growing, well, it's a challenge to just deal with that much volume of sweater. But I will persevere.

And the best part of this week? The dear baby for whom Rosetta was made, and her fabulous big brother will be coming to NYC on Wednesday, for five whole days, so that's just going to be a big party. And the fact that I'm going to get to go to London to visit them again in a month, well, that's just the icing on the cake!
