After much knit blog reading, and A LOT of holiday knitting, I have decided to add "Knit Blogger" to the list of my many other, varied duties!
I hope that this will be a place where I can keep track of my projects, keep in touch with old friends and hopefully make some new ones. Also, I am hoping that the act of writing frequently will keep me on the right track towards getting my novel edited and published before the end of this year.
I wish you all health, happiness, and happy knitting in the new year!
